[Consultation] Legal consultation regarding copyright infringement related to virtual currency exchange homepage design.

Law firm Veat (hereinafter Veat) provided legal advice regarding design copyright infringement at the request of Company A, which operates a virtual currency exchange.

Company A requested legal advice from Veat to obtain expert opinions on legal measures against Company B, as Company B is using the same UI (User Interface) of Company A’s website.

Veat sent a certified mail to Company B stating that Company B’s operation of a virtual currency exchange and unauthorized copying of Company A’s website UI would likely cause general users to mistakenly believe that Company B’s website is the same as Company A’s website, and that this action constitutes copyright infringement and a violation of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, resulting in damages to Company A.

Veat provided legal advice on the legal measures Company A could take, both civilly and criminally, if Company B failed to comply with the requirements outlined in the certified mail and continued to use Company A’s website UI.

Thank you.
