Before applying for a Korean trademark, you need to design the trademark. You should also consult the Korean trademark platform to see if the same or similar trademark has been registered in South Korea. If not, you can prepare relevant application materials and submit them to the Korean Intellectual Property Office. After the Korean Intellectual Property Office accepts the application, it will issue a receipt with an acceptance number to the applicant. The Trademark Office will conduct formal and substantive examinations of trademark applications. After passing the formal and substantive review, the Trademark Office will publicize the trademark. Within three months of publicity, if no one raises an objection, or the objection raised is not established, the trademark registration will be deemed successful. 2. The limited period of Korean trademarks
The application period for applying to register a trademark in South Korea is roughly 12 to 14 months. And if the trademark has been successfully registered, it will be valid for ten years. Six months before the expiration of the validity period, you can apply for renewal service with the Trademark Office. 3. Benefits of registered trademarks
Trademarks can be used as symbols of products or services to a certain extent. Products or services that have been registered with trademarks are protected and supervised by law, which in a certain sense It ensures the quality of the product.

The provenance of a product or service allows consumers to distinguish the product from other products in the same industry, which also establishes a relevant brand image to a certain extent. Therefore it is beneficial to increase sales.
