Patents, utility models and designs, trademarks, and industrial designs are rights KIPO bestows through
registrations procedures. Registration services are thought to form the foundation of all other IP services
since effective protection of IP rights cannot be expected from mishandled registration applications.
This requires a combination of registration strategies for effective utilization of IP rights guided by crucial
experiences in legal proceedings, a profound and thorough understanding of the technology involved
and first-hand experiences with KIPO examination proceedings.
Our skilled patent and trademark attorneys assist our clients in enjoying the best protection of their IP rights.
Combined with our team of experienced IP support professionals we have an extensive record of
achievements in the fields of: electronics, mobile communications, semiconductors, computers and networks,
machines, automobiles, materials engineering, Polymer chemistry, and bio engineering.
We conduct prior art searches and create patent maps to help identify the direction and developments
of domestic and foreign technologies and R&D to assist our clients in finding the right kind of technologies
and information they need to determine the course their R&D should take through the classification and
analysis of vast amounts of patents, relevant technologies, and dates. Through educational specialization
and experience in each of the respective fields, our IP team is well poised to provide sophisticated,
quality prior art search and patent map design services.
As IP disputes often involve both court litigation and KIPO trials, strength in both proceedings are required to
maintain a competitive edge. Our IP attorneys together with our attorneys-at-law have earned
YOON & YANG recognition as one of South Korea's foremost IP practice groups with respect to
court proceedings covering all types of IP disputes including patent and trademark infringement,
Patent Court proceedings, and KIPO trials. Our proven track record is testament to our confidence
in our ability to thoroughly and successfully protect our clients' IP rights in any kind of dispute.
We assist our clients in maximizing the value of their IP rights and ensure that they are duly recognized and
compensated for their value through transfer and licensing agreements. Our services encompass not only
the basics such as transfer of technologies and preparations of license agreements, but also a comprehensive
spectrum of important services needed in the course of designing technology transfer and licensing strategies,
and selecting appropriate targets and negotiating terms. YOON & YANG has been continually
recognized for its successful negotiations with foreign companies on behalf of local companies.
As well as identifying and turning our client's core technologies and know-how into exclusive IP rights,
we offer comprehensive service packages for the maintenance, administration and future strategy planning
for these IP rights. We frequently supplement our clients' IP departments by assisting them in gaining an
upper hand over the competition with our services in investigations and analysis on their competitors'
intellectual properties, formulating strategies to prevent and respond to potential disputes, consultation
on development strategies, as well as designing and maintaining IP portfolios.
YOON & YANG offers a full range of legal services with respect to the broadcasting and the
information and communications fields. As well, we provide valuable legal consultation on industry
standards and international trade regulations in these areas.
A foreign applicant must have a presence in South Korea prior to applying for registration of ".kr"
domain names (the Korean top-level domain). It is vital to remember that domain names are obtained on
a "first come, first served" basis. As cyber-squatters target valuable trademarks at various domain levels in
many jurisdictions, the old adage "prevention is better than cure" holds true in the cyber-arena.
We have extensive experience in handling and solving various domain name problems and have
obtained many successful decisions from the Korean Domain Name Arbitration Committee and courts
on behalf of foreign companies.
In addition to helping our clients secure copyrights for their literary works, we provide portfolio
maintenance of all types of copyrights including comprehensive consulting services to prevent
infringement on copyrights. Our experience and knowledge acquired from handling numerous copyright
litigations over the years have enabled us to provide optimum legal advice and services to our clients.
Moreover, we also provide reliable consultation and litigation services to protect our clients' business
reputation and trade secrets.
