법무법인(유한) 율촌 | Yulchon LLC

Yulchon is honored once again to be selected as a Gold Tier law firm by IAM Patent 1000 for Intellectual Property Litigation. We have received the ranking organization’s highest rank for six consecutive years. IAM Patent 1000 noted that “Yulchon LLC is an IP litigation firm rich in legal prowess. Its partners have a combined 66 years’ service on the bench, which means that the practice’s clients receive not only access to a deep well of litigation expertise, but also unique insight into how judges perceive the issues at hand.”

IAM Patent also said that “Yulchon is ‘the best of the best’ – a firm capable of ‘understanding clients’ exact needs and providing totally optimised services” with litigators who “pinpoint the commercial aspects of technical issues quickly and accurately, especially in the pharmaceutical, semiconductor and mechanical fields.”

The IP Group was also commended for a number of individual achievements of the IP Group. Jeong Yeol Choe, the Head of Yulchon’s IP Practice Group, recently ascended to the presidency of KIPLA and is leading both the firm’s IP group and the wider Korean IP community. The fact that he has “two decades of experience on the judiciary” – a qualification he shares with colleague Cheol Hwan Kim - was highly noted. US attorney Samuel SungMok Lee was recognized as a professional “replete with in-house experience at Shell Oil, Samsung and Proctor & Gamble” and a client praised him, saying “we enjoy working with him as if he was our own in-house team member, because of his pleasant character and professional expertise”.

Since its formation in 2003, IAM Patent 1000 offers recommendations about law firm IP practices, as well as leading individuals in the practice, based on interviews, feedback from peers and clients, and thorough reviews of contentious matters.
