Design
Korea Design Registration
Use this when customers or competitors can copy the look: product shape, surface pattern, packaging appearance, screen layout, or other visible features.
South Korea patent and design filing rules, filing steps, and fees vary by country. Review the service details and process below before you file.
For Amazon sellers and global brands
If you are already paying for 3D modeling, tooling, supplier samples, or inventory, it is time to decide the patent path. KOKOIP turns product photos, drawings, supplier files, and plain-language notes into a filing plan before the product becomes fully exposed.
Patent filing should be planned before product modeling, tooling, supplier sampling, inventory purchase, and Amazon launch.
KOKOIP helps you choose the right filing path, organize product materials, and understand what happens after checkout.
Design
Use this when customers or competitors can copy the look: product shape, surface pattern, packaging appearance, screen layout, or other visible features.
Invention
Use this when competitors can copy how the product works: structure, mechanism, electronics, material changes, software-enabled functions, or manufacturing methods.
Some products need both: protect the visible product shape with Design, and protect the working mechanism or technical improvement with Invention.
Use Korea filing when Korea is a sales market, an electronics or beauty category target, or part of your supplier chain. Design protects appearance. Invention filing protects the technical solution.

Step 1
We check the selected country, patent type, applicant details, product name, and uploaded materials.
Step 2
We confirm whether the filing route matches the product goal and the materials you currently have.
Step 3
If drawings, descriptions, priority details, or applicant information are missing, we ask for them before filing work continues.
Step 4
Once scope and materials are ready, the case moves into document preparation, local filing coordination, and post-filing updates.
Once a product is shown to factories, posted online, or listed on Amazon, the filing conversation gets harder. Start while you still control the drawings, samples, and launch timing.
You choose the country and patent type, pay the service fee, and give us the product basics. We review the materials and tell you what is missing before filing work moves forward.
Use Design for the look customers can copy. Use Invention for the structure, function, method, or improvement competitors can copy.
If you sell in more than one country, combine supported countries in one checkout so applicant details, product files, and filing scope stay connected.
Patent filing depends on the product, drawings, applicant details, and local rules. We confirm the filing route and missing materials before submission work starts.
