Legal Review of the possibility of lawsuits by overseas entities against domestic companies for copyright infringement. Law firm Veat

Law firm Veat conducted a legal review for an IT company ("client") regarding the possibility and targets of civil and criminal lawsuits related to copyright infringement that a foreign subsidiary could bring, including whether domestic entities and employees are included.

The Copyright Act treats the works of foreigners differently from the works of Korean nationals, and stipulates that protection is only granted on the premise of fulfilling certain requirements. Law firm Veat provided specific legal advice to the client based on the Copyright Act, laws related to the legal capacity of foreign subsidiaries, and similar cases.

Law firm Veat operates an “TIP(Technology·Intellectual Property) team” with outstanding expertise in copyright, IT technology, and intellectual property, and has been providing legal support to the client.
