IP Criminal Defense
In criminal cases involving patent, trademark, and copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation,
we provide specialist defense across all IP-related criminal matters.
Overview
IP crimes encompass criminal cases related to intellectual property rights — including violations of the Patent Act, Trademark Act, Copyright Act, and Unfair Competition Prevention Act, and trade secret misappropriation. Civil remedies and criminal prosecution frequently proceed simultaneously, making an integrated strategy covering both sets of proceedings essential.
Through close collaboration between PYEONG AN's IP litigation team and criminal defense team, we provide comprehensive support across the entire spectrum of IP criminal matters — from strategy formulation at the complaint and referral stage, through investigation response and trial defense, to the parallel pursuit of civil litigation.
