Foreign Filing

The Best or Nothing

Strong Overseas Patents for Expanding Exports

Expanding your intellectual property protection beyond national borders is crucial for global business success. Pine IP Firm understands the complexities of international IP law and offers comprehensive services to secure your rights worldwide. While we are experts in Korean IP, our global perspective and network enable us to assist clients in developing and executing effective overseas filing strategies.

Securing IP rights in one country, such as Korea, does not automatically confer protection elsewhere. Each foreign jurisdiction requires separate IP registration. This is particularly vital for companies with export plans or existing international operations. Pine IP Firm leverages extensive experience in managing international cases and unique know-how to optimize overseas filing costs while achieving high registration rates globally.

International Patent Strategy Development

We help build a patent portfolio tailored to your company's global business plans, selecting optimal countries for filing with cost-effectiveness in mind. We provide unique strategies for efficient and successful overseas patent registrations, including leveraging PPH (Patent Prosecution Highway) and other expedited examination programs.

PCT International Filing

We expertly navigate the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) system, reviewing the potential for securing rights in up to 157 contracting states. We develop strategic plans for national phase entries, utilizing the 30/31-month grace period effectively, and provide insightful analysis and response strategies for International Search Reports (ISRs) and Written Opinions (WOs).

Direct Filing in Individual Countries

For key markets, we prepare and amend specifications considering local patent laws. Utilizing our robust network of trusted foreign associates, we ensure effective communication with examiners in each country and develop tailored response strategies to overcome rejections.

Overseas Trademark and Design Filing

We manage international trademark registrations using the Madrid System and international design registrations via the Hague System. We provide strategies for securing robust rights based on the specific trademark and design protection laws of each target country.

Multilingual Technical Translation Services

Accuracy in translation is paramount. We partner with specialized technical translation experts in various fields to provide high-quality translations that reflect local legal nuances and practices.

Post-Registration Management and Utilization Support
