Fox Rothschild

Wan-Mo Kang is a Corporate Partner in our Princeton, NJ office. Through his work with major Korean companies, he has helped grow the firm’s International Practice Group. Born in Buyeo, South Korea, Wan-Mo came to the United States as a graduate student to study political science. Prior to his career in law, he was a reporter for a Korean-language newspaper and a labor organizer in New York. “Since I was raised in Korea, I knew the language and the culture. When I first came to the U.S., Asian American and Pacific Islander people were very underrepresented. There weren’t many lawyers who could help the community, whether with labor matters, immigration or other legal issues,” he said. “There was an opportunity for me to offer the support they needed.” Wan-Mo has passion for grassroots advocacy. He was a founding member of several flourishing community organizations, including the MinKwon Center for Community Action, the National Korean American Service & Education Consortium (NAKASEC), the International Association of Korean Lawyers and the Korean Community Center of Greater Princeton. “My background is very community-focused. I know that means a lot to my clients and I’m grateful to Fox Rothschild for supporting my work with these organizations over the years,” he said.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has overruled a decades-old test for obviousness of design patents. With design patents becoming increasingly valuable, this decision could significantly undermine the validity of existing design patents and make it more difficult to patent new designs. Dianna (Goldenson) El Hioum and Bradley Edgington explain the potential impact in this alert. #patentattorney #patentlaw #intellectualproperty

The DEA formally proposed rescheduling cannabis nationwide, and Pennsylvania’s legislature is eyeing legalizing for adult recreational use. Descheduling marijuana could incentivize investment in the industry and allow banks to support businesses that have been operating in a financial gray area. “The hope is that banks will get in the space and provide more banking services,” Joshua Horn tells The Legal Intelligencer. #cannabisattorney #cannabislaw #cannabisnews
