The invention patent examination system in Korea has the following characteristics: the principle of first application; The principle of early publicity; The principle of requesting review; Post-authorization objection system. Application and disclosure: after the applicant submits the application, it will be formally reviewed and will be automatically disclosed within 18 months from the application date or priority date, or within 18 months from the application date according to the applicant's requirements. Request for substantive examination: the applicant must submit a request for substantive examination within 5 years from the date of application (or the date of international application). If the applicant fails to make a request for substantive examination within the above time limit, the patent application will be deemed to have been withdrawn. Reply to the review comments: It will take about 18 to 24 months from the request for substantive review to the receipt of the first notice of review comments. The applicant must give a reply within two months from the date of receiving the notice. Applicants can request an extension of the time limit, which can be extended for one month at a time, and the number of extensions is unlimited. Patent registration procedure: if no reason for rejection is found after examination, a notice of authorization will be issued.

Objection system after authorization: After the applicant pays the fee, the Industrial Property Office will publish it in the Patent Registration Gazette, and the objection period is within 3 months from the date of publication. After the objection period, the examiner makes a decision. If the applicant refuses to accept the examiner's final rejection decision, he may appeal to the industrial property court within 30 days after receiving the notice. The lawsuit decided by the industrial property court will be tried by the patent court. If he refuses to accept the decision of the patent court, he will eventually appeal to the Supreme Court. The biggest feature of Korean utility model patent system is that it has undergone substantive examination. Considering that the technical life cycle of utility model is shorter, the protection period of utility model is shorter than that of patent right, and the applicants of utility model are mostly individuals, KIPO plans to expand the application scope of utility model for priority review, greatly relax the conditions for requesting priority application, and make it easier for more individual users to use the priority review system of utility model. According to the current system of KIPO, the time limit for obtaining the right to apply for a common utility model is 10 month from the date of application. Although the priority review procedure can shorten the authorization period to three months, the application scope of the existing priority procedure is limited to recognized applications that really need rapid authorization (such as the technology involved in the application has been or will be put into commercial operation; Or need to be authorized to prevent infringement), and the applicant must submit a separate priority review certificate. On June 5438+1 October1,2006, the new priority review system was formally implemented, which extended the scope of application to all utility model applications and stipulated that applicants who applied for general review when submitting utility model applications could reapply for priority review within two months without submitting any other additional documents. In addition, in order to help applicants save money, KIPO introduced a fixed minimum rate into the priority examination system of utility models on May 1 2006, and cancelled the surcharge that must be paid for priority examination. The fee was fixed at167,000 won (about 177 USD).
