U.S. intellectual property firm Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner is set to launch an office in Seoul after getting the go-ahead from the South Korean government in April.

The new office, which is scheduled to open this summer, will be headed by U.S. patent litigation specialist Charles Suh.

The office will focus on advising Korean-based companies on their U.S.-related patent litigation cases and other IP matters.

“Finnegan’s physical presence in Seoul permits us to become an even more integral part of the Korean IP community and to offer the full breadth and depth of the firm’s expertise and experience on a real-time basis,” said Suh in a statement.

“The resulting convenience and increased efficiency of our Korea-specific client services will be particularly valuable to Korean companies involved in litigations in U.S. courts and proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.”

In addition to Seoul, Finnegan also has offices in Shanghai, Tokyo and Taipei.
