한복 치마의 특허와 실용신안에 대한 실태 연구

This study is about the intellectual property of Hanbok skirts when Korean culture is popular worldwide. Despite the decrease in overall Hanbok usage, Koreans still wear it for significant life events like 100th-day and 60th-birthday parties. As the living environment in Korea has changed, Koreans have preferred to rent Hanbok rather than having it tailored, and the industrial structure of Hanbok has also changed. In addition, as the number of foreigners visiting Korea has increased, the number of opportunities to wear Hanbok has increased. Moreover, as it has become popular for young Koreans to take commemorative photos wearing Hanbok, many rental shops have also increased significantly, and as Hanbok production has become industrialized, understanding intellectual property rights is essential. This study will examine patents and utility model rights centered on Hanbok skirts. The results of this study showed that there were more utility models than patents for Hanbok skirts. Most of the patents and utility models were related to the waist of Hanbok skirts. The administrative status showed the most expired intellectual property rights because manufacturers of Hanbok skirts were mainly single-person and failed to industrialize. On the other hand, the application year of intellectual property rights showed that the more recent it was, the more it was filed, which is related to the trend of Korean culture. The most common patents and utility models for Hanbok skirts were associated with the function of the skirt. This study examined patents and utility models for Hanbok skirts, but other items related to Hanbok should also actively develop intellectual property rights when Hanbok becomes globalized. Such intellectual property can enhance Hanbok's aesthetic development and the manufacturing industry's efficiency.
