ABSTRACT

This study analyzed intellectual property (IP) data—including patents, utility models, and design rights-related to Hanbok Jeogori from 1981 to 2025 to explore industrialization strategies for traditional clothing. The findings indicate that Jeogori IP has evolved from practical improvements to appearance protection, and finally to a fusion of technology and design, marking a paradigm shift toward high-value-added assets. However, a structural limitation was identified in the heavy concentration of individual applicants (over 90%), reflecting a lack of corporate R&D. Furthermore, the results confirmed a clear geographical division between the southern region (manufacturing) and the metropolitan area (design), alongside a transition toward "technical apparel" centered on ergonomic design and process efficiency. Based on these findings, this study proposes several strategies: an "IP mix" and joint rights to protect both design and technology simultaneously, the establishment of regional clusters linking manufacturing and design hubs, digital archiving and licensing of master craftsmen's skills, and a global market entry strategy focused on "single-item" Jeogori based on the Locarno classification. This research is significant as it provides an empirical foundation for the technology-driven industrialization of traditional clothing by organically linking data analysis with strategic recommendations.
