These days, generation, utilization, and legal protection of intellectual property have become a principal source for competition reinforcement of nations and corporations. This study aims at providing the basic materials to revitalize the field of Korean costume of hanbok and register the related proprietary right, dealing with a trend analysis about patent, utility model, and design right in hanbok listed in Korean Intellectual Property Office. For the methodology and range in work, KIPRIS was used as search service available at Korean Intellectual Property Office. The coverage was patents, utility models and design rights of hanbok registered in this organization from 1971 through 2013 and analysis was performed about yearly application trend, registerer's characteristic, item nature, and development contents. Analytic results are as follows. Registration for patent and utility model were 65 cases. In terms of IPC classification, A41D was 56 cases, A41H with 7 and A41B with 2, respectively. The largest part in development method was about the way of production process or drawing. With regard to the beneficial aspects, functional characteristic and practical characteristic took the most. According to the design classification code, B1-10A(hanbok) took the largest number as 393 applications. Also, registered items turned out to be various in kind. The upper suit jeogori was 103 cases and the variated type of jeogori, kind of a modified hanbok, was 71 cases. In the registered cases of hanbok, jeogori took the biggest portion. In development, more weight was given to the creative designs focused on an aesthetic feature than those with a specific utility. If the ongoing analysis continues regarding the trend, the results will be used as meaningful materials not only in the hanbok-related industrial field but also in the relevant industrial research.
