Proactive IP Dispute Prevention in Korea
Our primary goal is to help you avoid costly and time-consuming disputes.
- Prior Art and Trademark Searches: Thorough searches to preemptively identify potential conflicts before filing or market entry in Korea.
- Patent Mapping for Competitive Analysis: We utilize patent maps to analyze technological trends related to your field and assess competitors' IP portfolios in Korea. This allows for early identification of patents that could pose a threat to your products or services.
- Freedom to Operate (FTO) Analysis: By diagnosing potential dispute risks early through FTO analysis, we identify high-risk patents and propose invalidation or design-around strategies to minimize infringement risks in Korea. These analyses can also serve as non-infringement evidence and guide R&D.
