How to issue a KIPRIS Plus API key
Patent search skills use the KIPRIS Plus ServiceKey/API key. Save it in Semo as KIPRIS_PLUS_API_KEY when the skill asks for it.
Before you start
A KIPRIS Plus key is an Open API credential issued by the KIPRIS Plus portal. Enter it only when a patent search skill asks for a KIPRIS Plus key.
The official sign-up and application guide explains the Open API flow: sign up, find a service, apply or purchase, confirm payment or approval, then check the key in APIKEY management.
Copy the issued value exactly and save it through Semo's key input screen.
