Bo K. Moon

Professional Summary — Bo K. Moon

Specialty / focus areas. Bo K. Moon (Bo Kyoung Moon) is a patent and technology litigator whose practice centers on patent infringement and trade-secret disputes, per her firm and directory profiles. Her docket skews heavily to electronics and software-adjacent hardware: semiconductor fabrication, near-field communications, LCD displays, optical disc drives, ceramic capacitors, thermal printers, and (less commonly) biotech (recombinant Factor VIII therapy). She has a technical/design background predating law — software analyst at Siemens AG and industrial designer at LG Electronics Design Technologies and Solid Technologies — which tracks the consumer-electronics-heavy caseload.

Side preference. Overwhelmingly defense-side. Her sole tracked appearance is a defendant-side matter where she served as former counsel (0 plaintiff-side appearances tracked). That pattern matches her public docket: she has defended global consumer electronics companies against patent assertion entities (e.g., a NFC-related suit in the Eastern District of Texas) and in ITC Section 337 investigations, with some assertion work for technology clients. She works primarily for operating companies, not NPE monetization.

Firm context. She is an IP litigation attorney at O'Melveny & Myers LLP in Newport Beach, California (Martindale lists her as a partner). Her pre-law roles at Siemens and LG were technical, not law-firm, positions; no prior law firm is sourced.

Notable cases / outcomes. The tracked case in the supplied list is unnamed, so no case name can be verified from that source. From web sources, her most prominent verifiable appearance is for **Apple Inc. as defendant in Maxell, Ltd. v. Apple Inc., No. 5:19-cv-00036 (E.D. Tex.)**, where she appeared pro hac vice as O'Melveny counsel. Her profiles also cite an LCD patent suit in the Western District of Wisconsin resolved by favorable settlement and two ITC Section 337 investigations (optical disc drives; ceramic capacitors).

PTAB / IPR experience. I found no evidence of a regular IPR/PGR practice; her docket appears concentrated in district court and ITC litigation.

Bar / education. California bar (2009, No. 268481); admitted C.D., N.D., and S.D. California. J.D., UCLA (Order of the Coif); M.A., Purdue University (Industrial Design); B.S., KAIST. Note: practice descriptions above derive from LawTally/Martindale directory profiles rather than O'Melveny's current website bio, which I could not directly retrieve; core credentials are confirmed via the California State Bar and court filings.
