"I think Darae Law & IP Firm is one of the best firms in Korea," says a client in the semiconductor industry. "It has excellent lawyers and patent attorneys who know how to solve an IP case. Jeong Youl Yoon always tries to find prior art to develop a new strategy when our position is very weak."

The group boasts a strong domestic client base that includes E-Land Group, a large retailer in Korea, Woori Finance Holdings, Samsung affiliate Cheil Industries, Kumho Petrochemical Company, Korea Electronics Technology Institute and Rinnai Korea Corporation, a gas boiler manufacturer.

"They were very good," says a client who sought the firm's expertise on domestic and foreign applications. "Darae Law & IP Firm has many experts with experience in various fields. Seung Moon Park has expert knowledge in IP."

Park and his team acted for Yuyu Pharma, who was accused of patent infringement by LG Life Science. The group successfully argued that the independent claims of the opponent lacked novelty.

In another victory for the group, Myung Gyu Lee and Jung Ryul Hwang advised Foxnet as a defendant in a patent infringement case that involved systems and methods of online stock exchanges and mortgages. The legal advisers were able to establish a difference between the compositions and effects of Foxnet's system from that of the plaintiff's.
