China and South Korea have great differences in the application system and license conditions of the design patent . For example, China's appearance design patent application implements a formal review system, while South Korea's exterior design patent application is implemented with a substantial review system or non -review (also known as part of the review) system.
\u0026 nbsp;
The appearance design of China's appearance design patent protection must depend on the product, but the protection model of the Korean design patent is more flexible. In addition to protecting product design, it can also protect part of the font design and product design.
\u0026 nbsp;
In addition, South Korea also has other characteristic design systems. The appearance patent characteristics system of the patent application system in South Korea
\u0026 nbsp;
Before the design of the patent person, the design of the design or public has not yet completed the preparation of the industrial implementation, and the interests of the patent person themselves are likely to be affected by the imitation and theft of others. To this end, when South Korea formulated an application for designing design, the applicant may ask for a confidentiality of its design, and the confidentiality period does not exceed 3 years from the date of authorization (Article 43 of the \"Exterior Design Protection Law\"). This is a confidential design system. Essence Confidential design requests can only be made by the applicant.

The diverse design system of the Korean appearance patent characteristic system 123] In the non -review registration application of the design, South Korea allows a design to apply for the design of 100 items for the same product. manyEach design in the design is an independent patent, which requires transfer and failure separately.

Although the dual -track parallel system of non -review and substantial review of Korean characteristics has taken into account the requirements of different applicants for the review period, in order to better serve the applicant, the Korean design law also includes a priority review system. After the applicant submits a priority review request, the reviewer shall make a decision to give priority review within 10 days and ask for review within 45 days. Therefore, from the applicant's request for priority review, to receiving the first review opinion notice, the shortest only takes two months. \u0026 nbsp;
The related design system of the Korean appearance patent characteristic system 123]
Design owner or design applicant can get the authorization of design (hereinafter referred to as \u0026 ldquo; basic design \u0026 rdquo;) that is authorized by its authorized design or is applying for. Applications should be submitted within one year from the application date of basic design. However, it should be noted that design applications similar to authorized design or design in the application; if the basic design has an exclusive license, it is impossible to associate design applications based on basic design applications. \u0026 nbsp;
So as long as you meet the time requirements of one year, you can apply for a variety of similar designs on the basis of basic design at any time. It is impossible to apply for the embarrassing situation of other similar designs because of the previous design.
