Korean IP outbound routes require a pre-commitment plan for legal motherhood, nationality, overseas birth reporting, family registration, recognition, and adoption or parent-child status proceedings. Korean Supreme Court authority treats the person who gives birth as the mother and does not treat a foreign surrogacy arrangement as automatically resolving Korean status.
