Kakao to formally run emoticon \'Author of the Year\' programme
Kakao said on Monday it will formally run its \'Author of the Year\' programme for emoticon creators. The programme is designed to support creators\' work and grow intellectual property. Kakao selected 100 emoticon IPs after considering last year\'s sales, sending volume, IP operations and user response. Selected creators will receive badges, marketing exposure and product consulting. Kakao will also pilot legal advisory support and review expanding it to all creators.
