How a case runs
Instruct by email or online
Send the international application number, or the mark or design, by email or through the online order form. Online, upload the WIPO publication: the form reads the bibliographic data, counts the claims and works out the Korean deadline.
Quote and invoice first
You see our fees, the translation and the KIPO official fees before anything is filed, and receive an invoice in US dollars.
Applicant code and power of attorney
We obtain the KIPO applicant code for your client and send the power of attorney. A signed scan is enough; no notarisation.
