Tailored Design Filing
Strategies by Product Type
01 | Partial Design Protection |
When your product’s strength lies in one visual element, partial design registration lets you protect that feature. • Broader protection with fewer filings • Respond effectively to competitors who alter non-essential parts • Ideal for aesthetic differentiation with legal efficiency |
02 | Non-Substantive Examination Categories |
Korean design law allows expedited filings for certain products — including food, apparel, packaging, textiles, and jewelry. • Quicker registrations through limited examination • Objections can still arise — strategy remains critical • BLT helps you file smart and fast, without legal compromise |
