YOU ME Patent & Law Firm is a leading IP boutique firm in Gangnam, Seoul. Powered by an international
workforce of 230+ patent, trademark, and design attorneys, paralegals, and attorneys-at-law, we bridge the gap between IP prosecution and litigation to align the protection of client IP assets with coordinated strategies that maintain long-term value and support business growth.

We represent domestic and international clients ranging from household names in electronics and healthcare to SMEs, educational institutions, and individuals, all of whom trust us to protect their creations with maximum efficiency and long-term profitably. To date, we have protected client IP in over 135 jurisdictions, established a strong network of over 780 international associates, and remain committed to extending our legal footprint.

Our multidisciplinary team of patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law provides comprehensive pre- and -post-grant prosecution services. They draft complex specifications, translate applications fluidly across Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese, and secure proper IP documentation to build highly defensible portfolios. Beyond daily representation before the Ministry of Intellectual Property Office (MOIP) and Patent Courts in reissue, reexamination, validity, and opposition proceedings, they excel at mitigating early risk. Through meticulous planning and experience, they implement strategic maneuvers that minimize costs, optimize timelines, and meet client commercial needs.

Our trademark attorneys are experts in all areas of trademark, design, and copyright matters. They file and prosecute applications before the MOIP, while representing clients in opposition, invalidation, and cancellation proceedings. Supported by the firm’s attorneys-at-law, our professionals protect high-value assets ranging from software to works of art and literary creations, and initiate and defend high-stakes infringement suits through every level of the judiciary, including the Supreme Court.

By prioritizing the long-term global impact of new innovations, our firm is dedicated to protecting and preserving all client IP through creatively tailored legal and strategic mechanisms.
