1. Service Overview

In South Korea, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years from the registration date. To maintain protection under KIPO (Korean Intellectual Property Office), timely renewal is essential. Korea’s renewal system requires filing within the legal renewal window and paying official fees on time. Our company ensures your trademark remains fully protected through professional monitoring and submission.
