This paper studied Reverse Payment Settlement Agreement in Pharmaceutical Industry. As Korea-US FTA is signed, Approval-Patent Linkage System has been transplanted into our legal system. The topic of Reverse Payment Settlement Agreement has boosted up some important discussion in the recent years. While the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) in the United States thinks Reverse Payment Settlement Agreement is a kind of strong competition threatening in the pharmaceutical industry. The United States courts have rather flexible position in case of specific issues. South Korea has also similar case related to Reverse Payment Settlement Agreement. South Korea Supreme Court regulated it using competition law. As Pharmaceuticals also have the benefit of the public, it is important to find a suitable method in the process of regulate this issue. To reach the proper approach to regulate this issue, not only competition law and patent law can be adapted. Patent law itself relies on patent abuse principle to regulate this. Thus this study suggests 3 reasonable approaches. This paper aims to suggest a reasonable standard to deal with interest of patent owner and public interest.

R&D 활성화를 위한 국가과학기술종합정보서비스 (NTIS:National Technology Information System) 활용 방안

정연덕 경북대학교 IT와 법연구소 2010 IT와 법 연구 Vol.0 No.4

The purpose of this study is to develop legal standards in the field of Korean NTIS(national technology information system). NITS is the central resource for government-funded scientific, technical, engineering,and business related information. Korean government invest lots of resource in R&D(Research and Development). However, outcome of these investment does not spread to companies. These days patent licensing strategy is dramatically changing. Thus "Invention Capital"buys not only patent but also immature idea. After they process these idea they make strong patent portfolio. This paper aims to suggest a standard to deal with NTIS and Invention Capital. Usually university professor's research idea funded by government should be protected and developed. Using the information provide from NTIS, the public would be served by having ready access with licensing conditions to a greater amount of proprietary subject matter. Finally, it will address the need to consider issues for R&D enterprises and distribution of royalties and incentives to develop a legal frmework to deal with this problem.

The purpose of this study is to develop legal standards in the field of Korean Patent Trust System. Many new technologies are developed based on patents from university research. Korean government invest lots of resource in R&D(Research and Development). However, outcome of these investment does not spread and transferred to small and medium sized companies or venture companies. Thus Government changed technology transfer act to deal with patent trust. It Expands the scope of eligible property in trust business to include IP rights. Before that Eligible property in trust business was limited cash, securities and real estate. Also KIAT(Korea Institute Advanced Technology) started management of trusted patents owned by University and Institutes. It is still uncertain how often IP trust scheme would be used in the future. However patent trust would more useful for companies to deal with patent related business. Trust could be useful tool for small and medium-sized companies or venture companies. It is desirable to bring up trustees specializing in IP. Using the patent trust system, the public would be served by having ready access with licensing conditions to a greater amount of proprietary subject matter. In order for the smooth operation of licensing activities on intellectual property, it is necessary to enhance develope legal scheme to transfer intellectual property. Finally, it will address the need to consider issues for specializing and outsourcing problem to develop a legal framework to deal with this problem. 현재 특허신탁제도가 2009년에 도입되어 실행중이다. 우리나라의 국가연구개발 성과인 특허는 증가하고 있으나 기술이전이나 사업화는 잘 되고 있지 못하다. 또한 미활용 특허들이 다수 존재하고 있다. 이를 활용하는 방안은 이러한 특허들을 타사에 매각하거나, 라이센스하는 방법이 있지만. 미활용 특허는 다수의 기술보유주체 또는 기술이전 조직 등에 분산되어있어 탐색 및 거래비용이 크다. 또한 기술보유주체가 직접 수요자를 찾아 거래하거나, 제3자가 단순히 중개․알선하는 기술거래방식의 비효율성을 개선하는 것이 필요하다. 특허 신탁의 장점으로 권리자는 연구 활동에 전념하고, 권리의 취득ㆍ유지ㆍ홍보, 권리의 사업화 내지 상업화, 이용계약의 체결과 사용료의 징수, 침해행위의 방지 및 구제 등을 위한 노력을 신탁기관이 대신하고 보다 연구에 집중할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 이용자는 필요로 하는 기술과 특허에 대한 관련 정보를 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 특허신탁기관은 그가 관리하는 권리의 홍보를 위하여 관련된 각종의 정보를 이용자에게 제공하고, 관련된 계약비용을 절감할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문은 우리나라의 신탁법제와 특허신탁법제와의 차이점과 지적재산권 신탁제도와 특허 신탁의 관계 및 차이점을 검토하고, 국외의 관련 제도를 비교하였다. 이를 통해 현재 초기 단계인 특허 신탁제도의 발전 방안을 마련하고자 일본의 관리형, 자금 조달형, 유동형 신탁과 우리의 현황을 비교 분석하고, 향후 우리 특허신탁이 발전하기 위하여는 우수한 특허를 확보하는 것이 필요하고, 특허신탁기관의 역할이 전문화 되고 미흡한 부분은 아웃소싱을 통하여 보완하는 방안을 검토하였다.

In order to protect the creators of art and culture such as writers and performers, collective management of copyright association effectively enforce the copyrights and distribute royalty transparently. Especially the importance of protecting intellectual property of works distributed in digital media is emphasized. Fair compensation for the authors will aid their work of creation through the fair legal system. In this paper, I suggest solution not only to facilitate the distribution of royalty but also to reduce illegal download problem. Chapter Ⅱ demonstrate the illegal download problem, Chapter Ⅲreview current status and problems in the management of the distribution of copyright royalty, Chapter Ⅳ suggest ICN(integrate copyright number)system to solve these problems. If the distribution of digital content using ICN is effective, copyright owners will identify the number of works. This system will helps not only reduce copyright infringement but also increase the royalty of copyright owners.

This is study about the right of publicity which is generally defined as an individual’s right to control and profit from the commercial use of his/her name. In America, there is no uniform federal law which protect the individual’s right of publicity but either common law or statutory law protect the right of publicity. In Germany personality rights are protected under the German civil code. In Japan protection for the right of publicity is protected as an outgrowth of general tort law. The right of publicity is recognized as both a moral right and an economic right. In Korea, there has been many cases where celebrities and sports stars claim their right of publicity against various types of unauthorised commercial use of their identity. This study suggest the protection of the right of publicity by amending Unfair Competition Law. As every situation varies depending cases, ruling by general provision would be a good solution to deals with this kind of dispute.

특허권의 남용과 이에 대한 방안 : Patent Troll을 중심으로

정연덕 한국지식재산학회 2007 産業財産權 Vol.- No.22

A patent troll is "somebody who tries to make a lot of money off a patent that they are not practicing and have no intention of practicing and in most cases never practiced." The topic of patten trolls has boosted up same important discussion in the recent year. Trolls tend to target internet retailers, service, information and news providers who are the end users of the patented technology. In May, 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court said in its unanimous verdict in eBay Inc, et al. v. MercExchange, No. 05-130. There is no such rule, patent owners do not have an automatic right to an injunction that could cripple the business of an infringer. The proper approach to the question of whether to award a permanent injunction is to apply a four-paint test. In Korea, controlling patent abuse is also an emerging issue. To regulate patent abuse in patent trolling, we can rely an the principle of faith or Trust Act Article 7. Just acquisition of patent for litigation would not be allowed. Also, PIT(Patent Investment Trust) PUBPAT(Public Patent Roundation) would be helpful to salve these patent troll problem.
