The 2015 Korea-EU IPR Conference was held in Seoul on October 22, 2015. Hosted by the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK) and co-hosted by the European Patent Office (EPO), the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), and the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), this year's conference featured sessions on anti-counterfeiting, trademarks and industrial designs, and patents. As a sponsoring firm, six attorneys from Kim & Chang's IP Group actively took part in the conference.

In the "Anti-Counterfeiting" session, Duck-Soon Chang participated as a moderator, and Jason J. Lee and Seung-Hee Lee presented on "Legal measures against counterfeits in Korea." In the "Trademark and Industrial Design" session, Seong-Soo Lee participated as a moderator, and Nayoung Kim and Joo-Young Moon presented on "Practical tips on protecting your trademark and design rights."

Now in its third year, the 2015 Korea-EU IPR Conference once again served as an exceptional platform for information exchange and networking among Korean and European IP experts.
