Delighted to convene and moderate Practising Law Institute (PLI)‘s Global IP Spotlight episode on South Korea.

South Korea occupies a uniquely important position in the global innovation ecosystem, combining technological leadership with increasing influence in intellectual property, artificial intelligence governance, and cross-border technology disputes. Our discussion explored how Korea’s IP and technology frameworks operate in practice and what global companies and practitioners should understand when engaging with this dynamic jurisdiction.

My thanks to Hyun-Seok Lim, Judge Jiyoung Yi, Jaewoo Kwak, YoungJoo Song, Sangchul Park, and Seong-Soo Park for their thoughtful insights, and to Kenneth Min, Lisa Garcia, and the PLI team for their excellent coordination.
