Foreign Filing

The Best or Nothing

Strong Overseas Patents for Expanding Exports

Even if intellectual property rights are obtained in Korea, it does not mean that those rights can be enforced in foreign countries. Separate intellectual property rights must be obtained in each foreign country, which is particularly crucial for companies planning to export or currently exporting. Recent trends in overseas patent disputes show a significant increase in lawsuits against Korean companies, with the rate of lawsuits against domestic companies being overwhelmingly higher compared to companies from other countries.
