With a legally registered trademark, you gain several benefits:
- Potential copycats are deterred from infringing on your brand.
- The ability of other brands to claim that you are infringing on their trademark is severely diminished.
Our licensed trademark agency in South Korea will handle your request, check all formalities, and then file with the Intellectual Property Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (KIPO). You receive confirmation of the filing and a copy of the filing request. We contact you immediately if an office action requires additional information, or if an opposition is filed against your application.
After the formal examination the trademark is published for opposition, so that third parties can object if they believe the mark infringes on their brands. The opposition period in South Korea is 2 months after publication. You receive status updates as soon as your mark is published, and of any action the office takes if oppositions are received.
If no oppositions arise and your trademark is formally approved, you can expect registration within 9-12 months.
