Professor Lim was recently co-consultant on a Supreme Court of the United States Brief Amici Curiae filed by the American Antitrust Institute in Vernon Hugh Bowman v. Monsanto Co. (U.S., 2012), a case involving patented seed traits. In 2013 he was appointed a peer reviewer for the Max Planck Institute’s International Review of IP and Competition Law (IIC), one of about thirty reviewers worldwide in recognition of his “knowledge and skill in the field.” His views on current IP developments have been featured in legal publications including the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin and the Daily Journal (California), as well as mainstream media sources such as the ABC News website, Yahoo! News and the Digital Journal.
Professor Lim has graduate law degrees from Stanford University and the National University of Singapore (NUS). He also has an undergraduate degree in law from NUS, as well as a degree in economics and management from the University of London (London School of Economics) which he pursued concurrently with his law degrees at NUS. At Stanford Law School, he received the Franklin Family Fellowship, and was awarded a Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Research Grant. He served as an intern at the chambers of Chief Judge Randall R. Rader at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and for Commissioner William E. Kovacic at the Federal Trade Commission. Prior to coming to John Marshall, Professor Lim was the Inaugural Microsoft Teaching and Research Fellow at the Fordham University School of Law.
Professor Lim was an associate at Allen & Gledhill LLP, Singapore's largest law firm and consistently voted as a leading IP practice there. He worked on litigation and arbitration matters as well as advised clients on IP and technology issues.
