HomeAbout Us
Many IP services end at registration.
But business begins after registration.
[Patent] Adding value. KONG & YOU Patent & Trademark Law Firm pursues the growth of our clients and the happiness of our people.
Our goal is not
simply to create rights.
Designing IP that works in business —
that is our role.
A patent registration is only the beginning. We stay with you after registration so that registered rights lead to certification, market access, transactions and investment.
Several patent attorneys review each matter together, we carry rights through to certification and commercialization after registration, and we work closely with content and brand rights.
Joint review
We never rely on a single judgment. On every matter, our attorneys put their heads together to find the best solution.
Certification & Commercialization
Drawing on our experience on the evaluation panels for PPS Excellent Procurement Products and NEP/NET certification, we help registered rights lead to certification and new markets.
Content & Brands
We handle the IP of Sandbox Network and Line Games, and represented a trademark opposition concerning first-generation K-pop group NRG, which was upheld.
We have built our practice over many years in the field.
Every matter entrusted to us is handled by two or more patent attorneys who put their heads together to deliver the best solution. We have grown our skills together and share a passion for becoming the best patent firm we can be. We focus on our clients. We focus on the substance of each matter. We aim not only to satisfy our clients but to move them.
We will guide you so that the specialized field of intellectual property feels easy and approachable.
We enjoy our work. Sometimes we take a loss, and sometimes we give our talents freely. We strive for the happiness of the people we live alongside.
