What is the registration process for applying for a Korean trademark?
Application process (if successful):

(1) Formal review: the legality review of the submitted application documents, trademark patterns, power of attorney and other documents after the application is submitted; If it meets the requirements, the application date and application number shall be granted.

(2) substantive examination: whether the trademark can be registered according to law, for example, whether it is significant. If the examiner thinks that the trademark is not suitable for registration, he will issue a notice of rejection. The applicant can give a reply within the specified time. The applicant may also apply for an extension of the reply time.

(3) Announcement: After the trademark has passed the examination, inform the applicant that the trademark application has been accepted and publish it in the trademark announcement. Anyone can raise objections, state reasons and submit relevant evidence within the two-month announcement period.

(4) Registration approval: a trademark that can be registered after an objection ruling, or a trademark that has been announced without objection, shall be registered and issued with a registration certificate. The whole application process is smooth (if there are no rejections, objections, etc.). ) It will take about 1 8-24 months.
