Korea has added exporting an invention to the list of what constitutes “practicing an invention”. This means patent holders can claim damages from overseas sales more actively.
Korea has also introduced two limitations on patent term extensions: a patent term can’t be extended over 14 years from the date of receipt of marketing approval, and only one patent becomes eligible for patent term extension per approval.
In trademark litigation, the Korean Supreme Court has clarified standards for consumer surveys, used as evidence of consumer recognition or perception.
