Korean patent practice — what differs from the EPC?

EPC experience is a valuable starting point, but Korean prosecution requires its own translation, examination and amendment strategy.

The Korean text is substantive

The Korean specification and claims must preserve the technical meaning and support later examination and amendment. Literal translation alone is not enough.

Korean procedure needs its own strategy

Arguments that worked before the EPO should be reassessed against MOIP examination standards, available amendment scope, family status and business priorities.
