Associate Dean Daryl Lim invited by Korea High IP High Court to discuss global IP litigation

CARLISLE, PA—Daryl Lim, H. Laddie Montague Jr. Chair in Law and associate dean for research and strategic partnerships, will participate as the special guest in the IP High Court of Korea’s International Intellectual Property Law Research Center 2026 Special Seminar on June 18, 2026. The program will focus on current issues and litigation practices in international IP forums and the future of IP practice in Korea.

Lim will join a moderated discussion with High Court Judge Jiyoung Yi and Director/Presiding Judge Young Gi Kim on global IP forums, comparative IP litigation, the Unified Patent Court, Korean IP litigation practice, and the relationship between antitrust expertise and the future of patent law.

The engagement connects directly to Lim’s teaching, scholarship, and service in intellectual property, antitrust, innovation law, and comparative legal institutions and reflects Penn State Dickinson Law’s growing role in international conversations on IP law and policy.

The International Intellectual Property Law Research Center was established under the IP High Court of Korea in 2017. The IP High Court is Korea’s exclusive appellate-level court specializing in intellectual property, and the Center supports comparative legal research and global exchange on IP adjudication and practice. The seminar audience is expected to include IP High Court judges, judges from other courts, IP lawyers, patent lawyers, and IP professors.
