Designs
There are various strategies to protect new designs. In the Korea, appearances of the products can be protected by designs, copyright and trade-dress (Unfair competition prevention law), all of which can be used to prevent unauthorised third parties’ reproduction of your designs.
We’ll advise you on whether your products are entitled to protection and which forms of protection you can use in the Korea and around the world. We’ll also advise on the scope of third-party design rights, so that you don’t bring design issues while selling or importing your products.
