Daeryun selected as an excellent law firm in the trademark litigation field at the ABLJ ‘2025 Korean Law Firm Awards’

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 23rd that it was selected as an excellent law firm in the field of trademark litigation at the 'Korea Law Firm Awards 2025' hosted by Asia Business Law Journal (ABLJ), a legal magazine in Asia.

ABLJ, a leading legal media in the Asia-Pacific region headquartered in Hong Kong, conducts an in-depth survey of in-house lawyers, law firm lawyers, and legal experts around the world every year and selects and announces outstanding law firms that have achieved remarkable results in each field during the year.

At this award, Daeryun was recognized for his expertise by winning in the trademark litigation category, which is the core of the intellectual property (IP) field. Daeryun has shown outstanding performance by securing excellent winning cases in trademark infringement disputes between companies and cases of violation of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, which have recently rapidly increased.

As background for the selection, ABLJ focused on Daeryun's success in leading a difficult trademark dispute in which 'fair use by prior use' became an issue. ABLJ evaluated that “Daeryun reflected the normal practices of the market in its legal principles and was recognized by the court as a pre-user business profit.”

Daeryun Intellectual Property Group has formed a dedicated team led by veterans in the IP field, including attorney Lee Da-woo, a former patent court judge, and attorney Min-woo Cho, a patent attorney, to provide one-stop legal services ranging from trademark application and registration to trials and litigation. Based on this, it is evaluated that the client's rights were successfully defended through strong legal action against the use of similar trademarks in industries where disputes are frequent, such as franchises and e-commerce.

CEO of Daeryun Kim Kook-il said of the award, "This ABLJ award is the result of external recognition of the know-how and capabilities that Daeryun has steadily accumulated in the field of intellectual property rights," and added, "We will continue to do our best to provide the optimal legal solution for protecting intellectual property rights so that companies can focus on management with peace of mind."
