FAQ
Does the quote include official fees?
Yes — the first-class application official fee, Korean agent fee and our service fee. The registration-stage fee is collected separately at the official rate, itemized before signing.
Do materials need Korean?
No. Application documents are prepared by the Korean byeollisa firm; you only provide Chinese materials and the trademark image.
Do Chinese-character marks work in Korea?
Registrable, yes — but the Korean market mainly uses Korean and English. The search report flags similar-sounding conflicts; when needed we advise registering a Korean brand name in parallel.
What if opposed during publication?
Others may oppose within the 30-day publication; on receipt we give response advice within 48 hours. Defense is quoted separately and confirmed upfront.
