Korean file histories are available for public inspection once an application has been published. The Korean version of KIPRIS (Korea Intellectual Property Rights Service) provides direct access to the online electronic register. File histories of patent and utility model applications filed from 2000 onwards can be viewed. The service is available at: http://eng.kipris.or.kr/ An easy, step-by-step guide on how to use the online register on the Korean version of KIPRIS can be found in the EPO’s FAQ Korea section (Electronic file histories from KIPRIS) If this does not answer your question, please specify your request.
