Q. In
South Korea, when is the next renewal due date for a Korean Trademark
Registration?
A. The next renewal due
date for a Korean Trademark Registration is every ten (10) years from the
registration date, on the condition that the paid official fee covers the 10
years.
<Example>
If the registration fee
that covers ten (10) years is paid and registered on 20 March 2002, the next renewal
due date is 20 March 2012. If renewed by paying the official fee for another
ten (10) years, the next renewal due date is 20 March 2022.
Article 83 (Duration of Trademark Rights)(1) The duration
of trademark rights shall be 10 years from the date of registration and
establishment thereof pursuant to Article 82 (1).
(2) The duration of trademark rights may be renewed for
another 10 years by filing an application to register the renewal of the
duration.
