The Korean Patent Act protects the rights of inventors and regulates the legal use of patented inventions. It defines the requirements for patent protection, application procedures, examination processes, the rights and obligations of patent holders, the term of protection, and procedures for addressing infringement. The Act also includes mechanisms for dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration. The latest amendments aim to strengthen patent protection in emerging technologies and new industries.
