Design Protection Act Amendment Soon


The Korean Intellectual Property Office recently announced proposed changes to the Enforcement Regulation of Korean Design Protection Act ("Design Protection Act"), which are likely to go into effect in October 2019.

One of the proposed changes will enable design patent applicants/registrants to correct inventor information after receipt of the Notice of Allowance. Currently, once the Notice of Allowance is issued, it is not possible to amend the application in any way, including inventor information. This means that inventorship cannot be corrected once the Notice of Allowance is issued.
