works ## Three steps to a Korea registration. 1 ### Run a free attorney check Tell us your brand. A Korean-experienced attorney searches the KIPO register and tells you, plainly, whether you are clear to file. 2 ### We file with the KIPO We draft your goods and services, classify them under Nice, and file your application directly with the KIPO as your representative of record. 3 ### Watched through to registration We monitor examination and the opposition window and answer objections, then your mark registers across Korea. What it costs ## One flat fee, every cost shown up front. A transparent attorney fee, the KIPO's government fee passed through at cost, and a clear total before you pay. Your Korea filing $600 + KRW 65,100 1 attorney fee + KIPO fee for 1 class · changes as you add classes $600 attorney · KRW 62,000 KIPO at cost · KRW 3,100 bank fee (5% of the KIPO fee) [Get My Free Search](/forms/catalog?subcategory=trademark-search&country=KR&ref=b2c) Legal team GTC's South Korea team KIPO-registered agent Agent of record at KIPO ### Every Korea filing includes - A KIPO clearance search across the Nice classes and Korea's similar-group codes, with an attorney's read on your odds - A similar-group strategy so your protection holds, since Korea classifies more finely than Nice alone - Defensive Hangul (한글) filing advice for the Korean market - Your application filed directly with KIPO by a Korea-licensed attorney (byeonrisa) - The two-month opposition window watched after publication in the KIPO Gazette Not included: substantive Office Action responses · oppositions · other countries · renewals. Each quoted when needed. ### How many classes? A class is a category of goods or services. One product line is one class. Clothing plus an online store is two. Each class adds one attorney fee and one KIPO fee.

Your GTC attorney acts as your representative before the KIPO, included in the flat fee. How long ## From search to registered, across Korea. Most Korea trademarks move on the KIPO's standard timeline. Here is what to expect. 1. Days 1–3 ### Clearance search We run a KIPO prior-rights search, and an attorney reads your odds before you commit a fee. 2. Week 1 ### Filed at the KIPO We draft, classify under Nice, and file your application as your representative of record. 3. After filing ### Examined & published The KIPO examines your mark on absolute grounds and publishes it for the opposition window. 4. On acceptance ### Registered With no opposition, your Korea trademark registers and the certificate issues. 5. Every 10 years ### Renewal tracked We track the renewal deadline so your protection never lapses.
