PROFILES

Bong-Gu Kim specializes in patent prosecution and prior art search in the semiconductor and material industries, and works with both domestic and international clients. As a former engineer at a major Korean electronics company, he still remembers his first day at Kasan, when he first started work that was not engineering. Writing his first court appraisal in infringement litigation, Bong-gu saw for himself the ways in which a registered patent can be utilized. That special moment and the sense of fulfillment stay with him to this day, motivating him to continue providing valuable IP related service to clients. He is a diligent, hardworking patent attorney who stands fast amidst external influences, and is a trusted professional who is always there to help. He is a trusted patent attorney at work and a cool, friendly dad to his three children at home.
