KIPO operates a ‘first to file’ principle. If two people apply for a patent on an identical invention, the first one to file the application will be awarded the patent. You will not need an address in South Korea in order to apply for a patent. However, if you do not have a residential or business address in South Korea, you must appoint a patent attorney with a residential or business address in South Korea to act on your behalf for all patent-related procedures. Because direct applications must be made in Korean, you must ensure that your patent application is translated accurately.
