[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyun-ah ] KGINICIS CO.,LTD., a company specializing in payment gateways (PG), has secured a patent for the core technology behind its “Japan Payment Service,” which supports domestic cross-border e-commerce businesses in entering the Japanese market.

This technology allows domestic online retailers to integrate with major local payment methods in Japan without the need for a local subsidiary or the establishment of a complex payment system, and the company plans to accelerate its expansion into the rapidly growing cross-border payment market.

KGINICIS CO.,LTD.(035600)The company announced on the 3rd that it had completed the registration of a patent for “A Method for Processing Payments in Japan Based on Integration with the Payment Network of a Japanese Payment Service Provider.”

What is this patent?

This

patent

covers payment technology that enables domestic cross-border e-commerce platforms and overseas sellers to smoothly process payments from Japanese consumers. It standardizes the complex integration methods of local Japanese payment networks through KGINICIS CO.,LTD.’s payment platform and provides them to domestic merchants via a single API (Application Programming Interface) that they are familiar with.

This allows domestic businesses to reduce the burden of separate development or local contracts required to comply with Japanese payment standards. The company explained that this helps support the expansion of overseas sales by reducing the system setup costs and time typically incurred during the initial stages of entering the Japanese market.

PayPay Transactions Now Complete

… “Securing

Technological Competitiveness Beyond Service”

KGINICIS CO.,LTD. emphasized that this patent is not merely about securing technology but is based on actual service operation results.

The company has completed integration between major local payment methods—including PayPay, one of Japan’s largest mobile payment services—and domestic merchants, and is now processing actual transactions.

The company noted that it enhanced its market responsiveness by pursuing in-house technology development and commercialization even before the competition to secure Japanese payment methods intensified.

A KGINICIS CO.,LTD. official stated, “Following the early commercialization of our Japanese payment service, we have now secured patent rights for our core technology,” adding, “This is an example of how we have simultaneously demonstrated our technological competitiveness and execution capabilities in the global payment market.”

Protecting

Patent-Based Payment Infrastructure… Strengthening Response to Similar Services

KGINICIS CO.,LTD. plans to strengthen its management of intellectual property rights related to overseas payments following this

patent

registration.

Now that its independently developed Japanese payment processing structure and integration methods are legally protected, the company plans to review whether services utilizing similar technologies infringe on its patents.

The company explained that if patent infringement is confirmed, it could lead to service suspension or legal disputes, so both competitors and merchants must carefully verify whether they are using the technology.

As domestic e-commerce companies expand their overseas sales, securing local payment methods is emerging as a key competitive advantage. Japan, in particular, is a major cross-border e-commerce market with high demand for Korean products, and integration with local mobile payment services such as PayPay is considered a critical factor determining the success of overseas sales.

Based on this newly secured patent, KGINICIS CO.,LTD. plans to expand its competitiveness in global payment infrastructure, starting with Japan.

A KGINICIS CO.,LTD. official stated, “We will provide an environment where merchants can stably enter overseas markets without worrying about payment interruptions or legal risks,” adding, “We will continue to expand the cross-border payment market based on our proven global payment technology.”
