From May 2018, new
International Panels for patent lawsuits will be established and foreign
parties may submit documents in English and argue their case in English before
the courts. That means that briefs in English may be submitted and oral hearings
may be conducted in English. The specialised panels will be in the Patent Court
and the lower court for the 1st instance lawsuit.
The Korean Patent Court
had a trial on June 28 2017 for an oral hearing in English. The case was an
appeal to the IPTAB decision on a patent application of 3M Innovative
Properties Company.
