Zoku Wins Korean Trademark Office Ruling Over International Intellectual Property Rights

Zoku has won a ruling by the Korean Trademark Office that enforces the company’s intellectual property rights for its award-winning and patented Quick Pop Maker. The Korean Trademark Office refused the registration of an imitative mark, stating it did not qualify for registration under Article 7(1)(12) of the Korean Trademark Act.

“We are satisfied with the outcome of this ruling,” said Ken Zorovich, president of Hoboken, N.J.-based Zoku. “Protecting our patents and trademarks has always been an imperative part of our strategy, and we will continue to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights to protect our products, brand, and reputation.”

Zoku holds 25 U.S. and international patents on its technology and designs, and has many patents pending. 

A contemporary new product design collective, Zoku made its debut in 2009 with the introduction of one of the most successful new products in kitchenware, the patented Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Zoku has received global recognition for its originality and innovation through multiple U.S. and international design awards, as well as global media exposure.
