Two attorneys from Kim & Chang's IP Practice – Sun-Young Park (a trademark attorney) and Flora Qiqiao Zhang (a Chinese attorney at law/ patent attorney) – were invited to speak at Kangxin's "Trademark and Patent Overseas Intellectual Property Seminar," which was held in Shenzhen, China on September 13-14, 2018. Ms. Park presented on "Overview of the Korean Trademark System," sharing her expertise on trademark protection strategies against counterfeiting trademarks and several landmark cases, along with the introduction of recent UCPA cases on protecting trade dress in Korea, while Ms. Zhang presented on the "Korean Patent Litigation and Invalidation Practice," highlighting recent developments, case studies, and unique practical aspects.
