In particular, we have very professional and accurate work ability in regard to the entry of PCT national phase applications into Korea, Madrid international trademark registration, and Hague international design registration.
For PCT nation phase into Korea, just remember 31 month time limit, Korean language and Power of Attorney. PCT national filing in Korea should be filed to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) within 31 months from the prior date and this term cannot be extended. The official language of PCT national phase registration is Korean. The national phase application in Korea should include the Korean translation of the full specification. However, the Korean translation may be later submitted within 32 months of the priority date with payment of the applicable fee. A scanned copy of the original Power of Attorney should be submitted at the time of PCT national phase entry in Korea. Late submission of the POA is possible if accompanied by the corresponding surcharge. Notarization or legalization is not needed.
