ZICO IP

ZICO IP is recognised for its patent and trade mark registration work in Thailand. The regional IP practice was previously part of ZICO Law, a network of independent law firms in Southeast Asia. In December 2022, ZICO Law entered into an agreement to join KPMG. In a press release, the global professional services firm said the ZICO Law network of firms will either join KPMG or become member firms of KPMG. However, ZICO IP was carved out to operate as a separate, independent regional practice managed by a new Malaysian firm, LindaWang Su & Boo.

Patent specialist Kamolchanok (Kamolchanok Punjad) Sinhaseni, Paramee Kerativitayanan and Pawarisa Fon Suwannachote, who was ranked as a Rising Star in 2022, are key contacts in the firm.

"They are familiar with local laws and regulations, and can always give prompt response to the clients' requirement."

In 2022, the firm welcomed Pawarisa Fon Suwannachote from Schmitt & Orlov; Paramee Kerativitayanan from SCL Nishimura & Asahi; and Kamolchanok (Kamolchanok Punjad) Sinhaseni from Rouse. Kerativitayanan and Suwannachote were promoted to partner in 2023. 

Case studies show the firm advised Yamato Holdings on trade mark protection and the National Innovation Agency on a copyright dispute. In 2022, Nuttaphol Arammuang left to head up Rajah & Tann's IP practice while Titirat Wattanachewanopakorn joined ILCT.
