Kim & Chang’s German IP Practice Team is dedicated to providing its German-speaking clients (including clients in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland) with one-stop legal services. 

Our German IP Practice Team is comprised of experts in patent, trademark, design, litigation, licensing and other IP-related matters.  Many of our attorneys and specialists have law and/or technical degrees from Germany and/or have worked in IP departments of major Central European corporations in various industries.  Thus, our wide knowledge and diverse experiences enable us to better understand and provide efficient solutions for all of our clients’ intellectual property needs.

German Fluency

We understand the need for clear and effective communication with our clients. We are able to communicate with our German-speaking clients in German when handling complex or highly technical issues, both written and verbally.  Indeed, the multilingual capabilities of our professionals allow us to assist our clients in a best-suited manner.

One-Stop Services

We advise our clients throughout all stages of IP management, from strategy/portfolio planning to prosecution, prior art search, enforcement, licensing negotiations, and portfolio management.  Our German IP Practice Team also benefits from close working-relationships with our other practices including corporate, M&A, fair trade, and labor, enabling us to provide expert advice on all legal issues, IP-related or otherwise, that our clients may encounter in Korea.

Quality Service Tailored For Each Client

We strive to provide each client with customized services to meet their particular needs by considering all appropriate and creative options.  Importantly, because of our German IP Practice Team’s extensive education and work experience in Germany and other Central European Countries, we are able to provide our services with a first-hand appreciation of our client’s needs and perspectives. We assign a professional and dedicated team for each client to deliver advice aligned to our client’s specific needs and goals
