OUR FIRM

Since 1988, we have been unwavering in our mission to be the standard bearer of professional excellence in the IP industry.

Awards and Distinctions

FIRSTLAW P.C. has been consistently recognized as the premier IP boutique firm in Korea, and while we are particularly recognized in the areas of patent and trademark prosecution, our expertise involves all services related to IP. We firmly believe that the acknowledgement of our longstanding clients – many who we have represented for over 30 years – are the most important measurement of the quality of our work, but we are truly appreciative that our commitment to providing our clients with the highest quality of services has earned us recognition across many prominent publications.
