FAQ
- Is the official court name Patent Court?
- The official English site now uses Intellectual Property High Court of Korea. This page also uses Patent Court language because foreign counsel commonly search for Korean patent court litigation under that term.
- Can technical evidence from foreign litigation be used?
- It may be useful, but relevance, translation, admissibility, and consistency with Korean issues should be reviewed before use.
- Should IPTAB and court strategies be coordinated?
- Yes. The arguments should be coordinated, while recognizing that each forum may require a distinct procedural and evidentiary approach.
