Prabjote Busdee
Domnern Somgiat & Boonma, known across the profession as DS&B, was named Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences Law Firm of the Year in Thailand at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. The Bangkok intellectual property house counts patent attorney Prabjote Busdee among its partners, whose blend of legal and technical expertise supports the firm's work for innovators in the pharmaceutical and life sciences fields.
Established in 1947 and based on Si Phraya Road in the Bangrak district of Bangkok, DS&B is one of Thailand's longest-standing intellectual property firms. Named after its founding partners, it has focused exclusively on intellectual property for more than seven decades, offering both prosecution and enforcement services. The firm's conviction that intellectual property is a valuable asset only when placed in the right hands underpins the diligence it applies to technically demanding sectors such as pharmaceuticals and life sciences.
The Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences Law Firm of the Year award recognises the specialist knowledge required to protect innovation in these highly regulated industries, where patent strategy, scientific complexity and regulatory considerations intersect. DS&B's core patent practice, alongside its trademark, copyright and enforcement capabilities, equips it to advise pharmaceutical companies, research organisations and life sciences businesses on securing and defending their rights in the Thai market. The firm's recognised strength in handling patent applications filed by foreign parties is especially relevant to a sector dominated by international innovators.
Prabjote Busdee brings a legal qualification together with a technical background, and is well respected for her experience in patent matters including prosecution and infringement work. That dual grounding is central to life sciences practice, where understanding the underlying science is essential to drafting, prosecuting and enforcing robust patents. Her expertise helps clients navigate the detailed and often cross-border demands of protecting pharmaceutical and biotechnology inventions in Thailand.
DS&B's reputation rests on decades of specialist focus, continuity and a consistent standard of quality maintained since the mid-twentieth century. For pharmaceutical and life sciences organisations seeking dependable intellectual property counsel in Thailand, the firm offers a dedicated team with the scientific fluency and procedural knowledge such work requires. Its recognition as Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences Law Firm of the Year in Thailand at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards affirms the depth of that capability and the trust placed in partners such as Prabjote Busdee.
