Thank you all for coming out to our Fall Picnic this weekend to enjoy the food and company of others. It was great to see some of our new members including Woo Rhim who flew in from Dallas with his wife, Jun Kwon that is thriving in his second year at the AI workgroup, Jahae Kim that just passed her probationary year (congrats!), and Kim Horger that joined us with her partner. We also share the good news of our newly wedded Chanel Jhin who is currently serving as KAIPO’s secretary, and celebrate Woojoo Lee’s first picnic outing (our long time contributing member Justin Lee’s baby boy). Our guests included Hyun-suk Lim (IP attaché) and Tae Hyun Lee (PCT Korea President) who recently hosted 2023 Korea-U.S. IP Forum and PCT Roundtable at the Westin next to the USPTO campus.
Our deepest appreciation goes out to Euncha Cherry who prepared 70lbs of delicious LA galbi and all other foods for everyone to enjoy. Thank you to all our grill masters that kept the fire going and coated the galbi with the “fire” flavor. We also want to thank our senior members who came out and shared thoughtful insights to our new examiners. We raised more funds through generous sponsorship from our senior members at the picnic (Jong-Suk Lee, Minsun Harvey, Eunsook Choi, Jessica Han, Kinam Park, Chiho Lee). Thank you for your support! Lastly, our appreciation goes out to the officers and board members that planned and executed the picnic (Sisley, Jae, Seong Ah, Tom, Dae, Euncha, Tammy, James Choi, Moo, Chanel, Taelor).
Thank you again for coming out and continuing to support KAIPO. If you wish to become a member, please fill out the attached membership form and return to kaipo@uspto.gov.
