"User agreement and copyright contract, legal consulting services from the startup advisory team"

Law firm Veat reviewed legal risks that may arise during the import of alcoholic beverages from a domestic customer (“client”) by A Company, a foreign alcoholic beverage manufacturer, into Korea.

The Law firm Veat Startup Advisory Team conducted a legal review to determine if the client’s import of alcoholic beverages from a foreign alcoholic beverage manufacturer was in violation of the Alcoholic Beverage License Act’s prohibition of rebates when a beverage manufacturer or seller provides money or receives it in relation to the transaction of alcoholic beverages.

The Law firm Veat Startup Advisory Team meticulously analyzed the client’s transaction details to determine if it violated the Alcoholic Beverage License Act, and then provided detailed guidance to the client regarding the results.

Considering the client’s services, the Startup Advisory Team recognized that label design copyright issues were important during alcoholic beverage imports, so they reviewed copyright permission agreement contracts with domestic artists and revised problems related to copyright assignment within the contract content to align with the purpose of the permission agreement.

Utilization Agreement (License) – necessary for Startup’s Business Expansion and Partnerships

For alcoholic beverage importers, one of the key legal matters to be particularly careful about is the Alcoholic Beverage License Act, which regulates various activities related to the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. Therefore, importing foreign alcoholic beverages into Korea requires considering multiple legal issues.

The Law firm Veat Startup Advisory Team possesses professional knowledge and experience in various areas of law, including the Alcoholic Beverage License Act.

Especially, Utilization Agreement (License) related issues often emerge as important issues when startups or small and medium-sized enterprises expand their business or form partnerships.

A Company reached a settlement agreement and a license agreement regarding copyright issues. However, the company later expressed its intention to assign the game business to a third party or to provide the service in a publishing manner.

Therefore, the Law firm Veat Startup Advisory Team meticulously analyzed the existing agreement and Utilization Agreement (License), focusing on the possibility of transferring the license and the conditions for re-granting the license, and then provided comprehensive guidance to the client regarding the possibility of providing services for the transfer of the game service and the publishing manner.
