発行： 日本デザイン学会 発行年月：2022年4月24日
Abstract After the end of the Chosun Dynasty, Japanese colonial rule and the United States Army Military Government in Korea, the first law regarding design was enacted in 1961 in the Republic of Korea (South Korea)—the Design Act of 1961. Over the past 60 years, there have been three full revisions and close to 40 partial revisions of theAct, culminating in the current Design Protection Act. In order to keep pace with, and effectively protect, industrial development in South Korea, these revisions have included the introduction of a partially examined registration system and stricter registration requirements, and the gradual extension of the term of the design right. This chapter sets out the history of South Korean design law, focusing on the unique features of the South Korean system for design protection.
