ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze trends in patents related to workwear in Korea by examining the application period, applicants, application contents, application locations, and technologies involved in patents, utility models, and design rights. The goal was to provide foundational data for future research on workwear and the activation of intellectual property rights applications. The analysis showed that the highest number of patent applications occurred in the 5th columnist period for patents, the 2nd period for utility models, and there was a gradual increase in design rights applications from the 1st to the 5th period. The patents and utility models related to workwear were found to encompass technologies not only from textiles and garments but also from various other fields. However, most workwear patents and utility models were classified under A41D. The application contents of workwear patents were categorized into technologies related to the functions of workwear, sewing methods, manufacturing processes, fabrics, accessories, and more. There is a need for technological development focused on the structure, ease of movement, accessories, and body support devices tailored to various body types in workwear.
