The following are a sample of representative cases (per year) that HANA has successfully litigated in the past few years:

When Hansol CSN acquired a business model patent for its "associate programs", HANA & Co. brought and won its an invalidation suit on behalf of Korea's 10 leading owners of shopping malls, including the Samsung Corp., Hyundai Home Shopping, Lotte.com, SK DtoD, and GS Home Shopping.

Representing 11 of Korea's largest distribution companies, including Samsung Corp., CJ Home Shopping, GS Home Shopping, and Lotte.com, HANA & Co. successfully litigated its invalidation of trademark case against the owner of the mark, "Ki-Nopee".

The beverage-maker Daesang brought a suit against Jinro, claiming the addition of the ingredient, asparagine, to its flagship product, Cham-Isul, violated Daesang's patent. HANA & Co. successfully defended Jinro, resulting in an invalidation judgment of Daesang's "asparagine" patent.

In response to the Internet Auction Corp.'s (a Korean eBay subsidiary) successful procurement of a patent for the commonly used "escrow" method, HANA successfully litigated to cancel Auction's patent on behalf of other major domestic online marketplace/auction sites.
