Questions?
How long is a South Korea trade mark valid for?
Ten years. It can be renewed indefinitely.
What happens if I don’t use my trade mark for a few years?
Unlike many other jurisdictions, South Korea has no requirements for actually using a trademark once it has been registered.
What is the “trade mark squatting” scene like in South Korea?
Korea has no requirements for showing the intent of use when registering a trademark. Such an approach can open the door for trademark squatting, a serious issue in South Korea. Recent amendments to the Korean Trademark Act have afforded well-known brands some protection in the matter of squatters, but the problem will continue to exist unless the use of trademarks is enforced, and stronger measures to prevent cybersquatters are adopted. Your only defense in regimes such as this is to register your trademark in as many jurisdictions as possible and to do it early.
What cannot be registered as a trade mark in South Korea?
There are numerous restrictions on what can be registered as a trade mark. Here are just some of them: Misleading or deceptive mark Not distinctive or too generic Conflict with well-known marks or earlier marks Personal names Well-known company names Immoral or against public order Unauthorized use of national insignia, national emblems, coats of arms, flags And more There is no need to know this entire list. We will assist you as needed in determining if the mark is likely to be objected to when you sign up for our South Korean trade mark registration service.
What classification system is used for marks in South Korea?
Korea uses a hybrid of its own defunct Korean classification system and the internationally recognized NICE Classification. This can add some confusion when registering a mark in Korea. We will assist you in determining the correct classes when applying for your Korean trademark.
