In this current Fourth Industrial Revolution, technological convergence is actively changing and developing more than ever. New types of intellectual property rights are constantly created due to the accelerated and diverse developments in technology, and how companies manage and utilize these intellectual property rights have become a significant part of company business models.

Our Intellectual Property (IP) Practice Group is led by a former IP practice partner at Bae, Kim & Lee, and directs a team of experts from diverse fields of the technology industry. Based on our experience in IP law and our extensive background in these fields, we advise clients with an omnidirectional perspective on all phases of IP management, operation, and transaction. We provide specialized expert advice on technology owned and operated by ICT, IoT, entertainment (games, webtoons, etc.), healthcare (pharmaceutical, biotech), O2O, blockchain, mobility, drone, VR/AR, and other types of industries where startup companies are leading the market development. 

We also assist clients to systematically protect their intellectual property that is not patented or legally protected, to prevent employees or competitors attempting to improperly divulge or expropriate it. Furthermore, we provide customized, step-by-step solutions for clients seeking to reclaim or secure their intellectual property rights against those who have duplicated or otherwise illegally used the client’s intellectual property or products.
