Park represents foreign and domestic clients in a multi-disciplinary practice that focuses on international transactions, U.S. corporate law, and intellectual property counseling, prosecution, enforcement, and litigation. His work on behalf of electronics companies, automobile manufacturers, cosmetics companies, chemicals companies, and companies in other industries concern global intellectual property protection, licensing, and enforcement, as well as corporate counseling in such areas as Hart-Scott-Rodino filings, anti-trust, and anti-dumping/countervailing duties.
Mr. Park served as Chair of the Intellectual Property Rights Committee of the American Chamber of Commerce. In this role, he advised officials from the U.S. Department of State, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. Embassy in Korea, and other public officials and multi-national corporations.
