Foreign companies entering the Korean market face significant challenges from counterfeiters, which can impose a heavy burden on their reputation and finances. With globalization and increasing consumer demand, the trade in counterfeit and pirated goods has been growing rapidly and is expected to continue to do so in the future. Therefore, the success of a company in Korea depends greatly on its ability to protect its intellectual property (IP) assets.
Detecting counterfeit products is difficult for consumers, and the proliferation of fraudulent goods on the internet poses an even greater business risk for IP owners. Many e-commerce platforms in Korea struggle to effectively monitor and address counterfeits, making it more challenging to enforce IP rights. To combat such crimes, it is crucial to have a coordinated and effective strategy for protecting IP rights. At DAEILPAT, our goal is to deter and prevent counterfeiters from infringing on our clients' products.
While building strong and enforceable brand IP rights is an effective approach for deterring infringement risks, it does not provide absolute immunity. Counterfeiters across various industries constantly adapt their tactics and exploit new opportunities within criminal networks. In response to these challenges, our experienced attorneys offer strategic counseling to foreign companies entering the Korean market. We provide guidance on protecting IP assets at risk and implementing preemptive measures to mitigate the impact of IP crimes on their business operations in Korea.
