Webinar - Navigating IP in South Korea: A practical guide for EU businesses and EU IP representatives

The EU-RoK Intellectual Property Action, an EU funded project implemented by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), held a webinar aimed at EU businesses interested in expanding to or operating in the Republic of Korea. 

The webinar introduced the main forms of IP protection available in Korea, including trade marks, designs, patents, geographical indications and trade secrets, and explained the key procedures, institutions and enforcement avenues relevant to businesses seeking to protect and manage their IP in the Korean market. Particular attention was given to the practical differences between the Korean and European systems, in order to help EU users approach the Korean market with greater confidence and awareness.

The session also covered post-registration actions, appeals and basic enforcement mechanisms, offering participants a concise but practical guide to the Korean IP landscape.

Expert insights were provided by the Ministry of Intellectual Property of the Republic of Korea (MOIP), drawing on its institutional expertise to help participants better understand the Korean IP landscape and navigate market-entry challenges.
