Joon S. Song, Ph.D., LL.M., Esq.
Patent Attorney
BIO
I have graduated from Korea University in 2002 with a Ph.D. degree majoring in Medical Biotechnology. After receiving my Ph.D. degree,
I have engaged in post-doctoral research for five years at the University
of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and gradually shifted my career goals into the Intellectual Property field. During this transition, I have passed the patent bar of the USPTO and earned a master's degree in Intellectual Property Law at the Graduate School of Legal Studies, Korea University. After my Post-doc. course, I have worked for the companies such as SeeGene, Landon IP, and Samsung Electronics. Recently, I have passed the Palau bar, and now I am running on my own law office in Palau.
