1 The mark
Type of mark * A word mark protects the name itself, whatever the lettering. File the logo separately if it matters on its own.
    2 Goods and services

    Add a class for each kind of goods or services, then list what you sell or plan to sell. Up to 10 items per class are included in the class fee. Not sure which class? Add your best guess — we check the classes and the wording before filing.

    No class added yet.

    Good to know

    How long does it take?
    KIPO usually examines a trademark application in about 12 months. With expedited examination (when the mark is used in Korea), a decision can come within a few months.
    What does the fee include?
    $250 for the first class and $120 for each additional class: the free quick check, filing at KIPO and reporting the filing, plus KIPO's official fees as quoted. The registration fee (paid when KIPO allows the mark) is separate.
    What if KIPO raises an objection?
    Amending the goods and services: $100 plus a KRW 4,000 official fee. A written argument against a refusal: $200. Both together: $300 plus KRW 4,000.
    Why choose KIPO standard terms?
    When every item in a class is a KIPO standard term, the official fee for that class drops from KRW 52,000 to KRW 46,000, and KIPO is less likely to ask you to amend the list. Items you type yourself are filed as written. KIPO may object to them, and amending them is charged as above.
    Can I claim priority?
    Yes, within 6 months of your first filing elsewhere. Send us a certified copy of the earlier application within 3 months of the Korean filing.
    Do you need a power of attorney before filing?
    No. We file on your instructions and send you a power of attorney form to sign afterwards.
