For over 30 years, FirstLaw has been operating a team dedicated to handling intellectual property matters for our U.S. clients, consisting of members who are either U.S. attorneys or hold a U.S. law degree. With unparalleled expertise accumulated through years of experience in Korea and the U.S., our U.S. team offers a comprehensive range of legal services in all areas of intellectual property (IP), including procurement services to secure the clients’ IP rights through all stages of prosecution and dispute resolution through trial and litigation proceedings.

“We stay up to date with all of the changes and developments in the field of IP and arm ourselves
with the resources to provide optimal IP solutions to leading companies in the U.S.”

Through our in-house seminars, overseas education program, and secondments, our U.S. team continues to study up on the latest IP issues around the world and gain insights that can be applied to both Korean and U.S. practice. This way, we stay up to date with all of the changes and developments in the field of IP and arm ourselves with the resources to provide optimal IP solutions to leading companies in the U.S. Additionally, we publish a quarterly newsletter, FirstLaw IP News, which covers recent court decisions, updates and revisions to the Korean Patent Act, along with noteworthy developments in Korean IP practice, in order to support our U.S. clients in successfully building their IP portfolio.
