■ "Don't let the Patent Office program installation and frequent errors drive you crazy!"
Even if you've prepared specifications meticulously in Step 1, accessing the patent via the website often leads to numerous obstacles. Installing heavy, dedicated electronic filing software exceeding 1GB may halt due to security module conflicts, or the session may expire while composing the web page, causing all entered data to vanish.
This solution guides you through a 16-step web filing process, enabling you to attach Word specifications to www.patent.go.kr using only a single Chrome browser—without Windows/Mac environment constraints. This allows you to submit applications easily and quickly, completing registration on the same day.
■ Key Features and Detailed Process by Step
-
STEP 0~2. Precise Input Verification & Official Form Acquisition
- Automatically scan the handover files (_handover/) from Step 1 to cross-verify the applicant, inventor, and number of claims.
- Secure the latest official form templates from the Patent Office (Margins: Top 40mm / Bottom 25mm / Left 25mm / Right 20mm; Font: 10pt; Line spacing: 1.6).
-
STEP 3~5. Consistency Filtering of Drafts & Automatic Assembly of Standard Word (.docx)
- Fully expand empty claim ranges in "See separate document" format into actual claims.
- Verify 1:1 alignment between citation table numbers in the text and actual captions (preventing table number mismatches).
- Remove all Markdown remnants (**, #, |, backticks) and prevent figure placement separation.
-
STEP 6. Pre-Approval and Visual Verification (Safety Gate)
- Uploaded Word documents cannot be viewed on the web until submission. A mandatory approval step is provided via PDF/Word files for human visual verification immediately before upload.
-
STEP 7~10. Patent Office Web Form Completion & Real-Time Temporary Storage
- Call the new patent application form and automatically input the invention name, applicant code, and inventor.
- Guide on strategic server temporary storage techniques to prevent data loss due to session expiration.
- Support for copying native file selection paths and pre-viewing bibliographic data for comparison.
-
STEP 11~16. Pre-Submission Duplicate Check, Safe Submission, and Post-Submission Date Management
- Mandatory verification procedure [Duplicate Submission Check] to prevent double filing.
- Guidance to avoid confusion between corporate and individual certificates, followed by final confirmation before irreversible submission.
- Generate application result sheets based on application numbers, guide payment of filing fees (due within one day of submission) via virtual accounts and cards.
- Guide for submitting proof of notification exception within 30 days, registering the 1-year domestic priority, and the 3-year examination request deadline calendar.
