What Is the Korea Patent, Utility Model, Design, and Trademark Registration Cost Calculator?

This calculator estimates Korean IP filing, examination, registration, annual-fee, agent-fee, reduction, and priority-examination cost for patents, utility models, designs, and trademarks.

The English page calls the same Korean registration-cost function. It keeps official-fee differences by right type, electronic versus paper filing, claim count, design count, trademark class count, goods count, annual maintenance years, agent level, fee reduction, and priority examination.

Important Note

Registration cost is only one part of IP strategy. Search, office-action response, claim drafting, trademark goods classification, design drawings, and overseas priority strategy can materially change total cost.

Right Types Covered

Right type	Cost drivers	Typical planning issue
Patent	Claims, examination, registration, annual fees, priority examination	Claim count and response work can dominate cost
Utility model	Technical idea protection with different cost profile	Useful for shorter-life technical improvements
Design	Design count and full or partial examination	Drawings and similarity scope matter
Trademark	Class count, goods count, full payment or installment, renewal planning	Classification and refusal risk are central

Fee Components

Official Korean filing and registration fees are separated from optional agent fees.
Electronic filing is modeled differently from paper filing because official fee schedules differ.
Patent claim count and trademark class count are primary multipliers in the Korean model.
Reduction programs and priority examination are represented as explicit inputs rather than hidden assumptions.

Using the Estimate

A low official fee does not mean the application is low risk. Prior-art search, office-action response, amendment drafting, and refusal appeals can add cost later.

For trademarks, goods per class should be checked carefully. Overbroad goods can increase refusal risk, while too narrow a specification may fail to cover the business model.

FAQ

Does the estimate include office-action responses?

The calculator focuses on filing, examination, registration, maintenance, and selected agent-fee assumptions. Complex refusal or amendment work may require separate budgeting.

Why do trademark classes matter?

Korean trademark official fees and agent work often scale by class and goods scope. One brand can need multiple classes if the business spans different goods or services.
