Accumulated Work Know-How
Having carried out such tasks as international intelligence and knowledge property rights cases; particularly patents and designs; the acquisition of patent rights; filing appeals; international licensing tasks; and cancellation, invalidation suits on a court decision and confirmation of the scope of rights for a quarter of a century, we have accumulations of our own work know-how skills in regards to sensitive and complex intellectual property rights tasks as a long-term expert along with some other professional patent attorneys with such experiences.
Creative Work-the storage of leading cases
| We are producing leading cases, which have broken the applications of law and the record of precedents established in the past with our creative legal approach. We hereto introduce several representative samples of them below. |
The trademark 'Elegance' case
- Though this mark had previously been judged to be of no distinctiveness as a trademark twice by the Supreme Court, the Patent Court later became acknowledged of its distinctiveness thanks to our logical argumentation and assertion that it contained an element of distinctiveness and uniqueness by successfully establishing a secondary meaning. |
The domain names 'www.chungmongku.com,' 'www.chungmongku.net' case
- The World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) acknowledged Hyundai Motor Chairman Chung Mong Ku's name as a trademark in the context of common law. |
The trademark 'Yongshim' case
- Accepting the case of which the mark in question had been ruled to be unprotected by the Supreme Court and arguing for the mark 'Yongshim''s widespread recognition, we were later notified of the Court's decision to overturn its earlier outcome. As a result, the mark in question eventually remained registered. |
The trademark 'Hardy Amies' case
- In the non-use cancellation action, whereby we submitted an advertisement published on a foreign magazine, the very piece of evidence was accepted and acknowledged. As such, we successfully defended the mark 'Hardy Amies'. |
The trademark 'LOTS' case
- The Supreme Court overturned the outcome announced by the Patent Court of Korea that the above mark and Lotus Group's mark the 'LOTUS' were similar. The Supreme Court ruled their dissimilarity, and as such we won the case. |
The trademark 'VOV Logo' case
- In the United Kingdom, Japan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Italy, and India, Alberto-Culver Corporation asserted that the above mark was similar to its own mark-'VO5' and as such filed a trademark infringement litigation, opposition, or cancellation actions. However, we successfully defended, and the decisions in the above-mentioned states all went in favor of the mark 'VOV Logo'. |
Our dynamic international network
Through mutual exchange visits with our foreign associates and participation in various international conferences and in international organizations as a member, we help to form a dynamic international network for our mutual clients.
Applications of updated legal information
Not only do we study and apply new legal theories through various academic meetings and seminar participations, but also we use information of the most recent cases of precedents.
Organized and Structured Running of Business
All of the tasks on intellectual property rights are stored on our computer databases. We are managing the current status of cases as well as important dates and days for our clients. We rely not upon an individual level but upon our established human network system for preparation of tasks.
Client-Approaching & Client-Updating Services
Upon our discovery that a mark similar to our client's registered mark is found to be filed for registration and upon our finding that a third party is found to be in an infringement of our client's trademark or intellectual property right, we will update our clients with such information for appropriate legal action well in advance.
Highly Noted Reputation for Litigation on IP infringement
Barun Law is made up of as many as one hundred lawyers, some of who served as Supreme Court Chief Justice, Supreme Court justices and Patent Court Chief Panel Judge. Having said that, we emphasize that we can rather professionally carry out litigation on IP infringement.
