Our Services

Your intellectual property (IP) is critical to conducting business - particularly in a foreign legal and business environment such as Korea. You require an IP law office with the experience and expertise needed to properly acquire , manage, and protect IP rights, as well as to provide insightful, strategic counsel on IP-matters. Lead by the former President of the Industrial Property Tribunal (IPT) and Division Director of the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) our stellar team of intellectual property attorneys has been doing just that for our growing roster of clients since 1995.

Our Approach

Our approach is not to be "all things to all people" but to strategically develop focused areas of expertise in key industries - such as the Internet, e-commerce, software & IT, bio-technologies, pharmaceuticals, and electronics - and strong competencies in the acquisition and litigation of IP, backed by rigorous research and keen analysis, within an open, responsive client-service framework. We believe that is the formula for delivering the level of excellence in services and counsel that our clients require. And as the industry leader in securing IP rights that the likes of Samsung, LG, and Hyundai have looked to protect their valuable IP assets, we believe we are on the right path.

Our Aim

Our aim is to be your trusted partner and assist you in fully leveraging your IP assets - patents, trademarks, designs, or copyrights - in Korea so that you can, ultimately, succeed in this lucrative, yet challenging, market. We are a full-service intellectual property law office servicing clients ranging from top multinationals and leaders in the Internet and e-commerce arena to small-to-midsized companies.
