A 59.8% Invalidation Rate Is Not a Background Statistic—It Is a Drafting Deadline

A self-compiled corpus of 1,168 KIPTAB decisions shows a 59.8% invalidation rate, with inventive step driving 80.2% of attacks. The 15.5-percentage-point drop from 2020 to 2025 signals that the specification you file today faces a stricter post-grant tribunal five years later. This article translates the data into concrete drafting and portfolio hedges for Korean filers.
