We live in a highly advanced society where business activities and human interactions are exceedingly complex. Globalization has brought new technology to our increasingly small world and along with it, many conflicts. Since its establishment in 1962, Central International Law Firm has been a leading pioneer in expanding the sphere of international intellectual property.
For over forty years, Central International became widely acknowledged in the international legal community as a leading Korean law firm, with extensive experience and a strong reputation for highly qualified lawyers, foreign consultants and patent attorneys. We have highly qualified professional engineers and staff members working alongside attorneys to provide advanced technical and business advice to our clients.
Recognizing the international business community's need for innovative and cost-effective legal representation, Central International is prepared to satisfy the needs of our clients as they face challenges presented by the rapidly changing business world.
Central International Law Firm is firmly committed to making positive contributions to the legal profession and society as a whole. Through the years, Central International has
set the standard that other firms have attempted to emulate. In fact, many of Korea's current law offices have been founded by former members of Central International - a fact that is both a tribute to the guiding principles of the firm and a continuing motivation to improve the quality of our services.
Central International operates in two separate but highly interactive groups: the General Legal Group and the Intellectual Property Group. This combines a well-established and highly respected corporate practice with the largest and the most successful intellectual property practice in the Republic of Korea.
The General Legal Group offers a full range of services in each of the traditional areas of legal practice as well as the newly developing areas of law. Staffed by domestic and international attorneys, we are able to provide services in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.
The Intellectual Property Group is led by experienced legal specialists who are experts in the areas of patent and trademark laws. Our IP attorneys are former examiners of the Korean Intellectual Property Office, as well as the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Our support staff is composed of fully qualified technicians who are subject matter experts in their respective fields of specialty.
Our Intellectual Property Group has gained extensive experience and expertise in procuring patents, trademarks and copyrights. We provide advice on all aspects of intellectual property laws as part of our continuing effort to help clients maximize their IP portfolios and
protect against unauthorized infringements. Central International has shepherded each patent application through to completion, from prior art searches to the examination process to registration. More importantly, Central International has experts in emerging technologies including telecommunication, e-commerce, software patents, nanotechnology, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.
Central International provides counseling in internet issues including disputes in domain names, content, web service providers and other issues that arise in the online industry. We also provide protection for trademarks, service marks and trade names for our clients against infringements in Korea and abroad.
This balanced combination of expertise gives Central International a unique form of flexible reliability; the firm is well-equipped to create a specific legal assistance packaged to meet the individual needs of our domestic and international clients.
