[Copyright Infringement Case] Finding of No Case to Answer

Law Firm Changchun defended a client (the accused) in a case in which they were reported for downloading and using font files without the copyright holder's permission, and obtained a non-indictment decision.

The complainant initially demanded, as a condition of settlement, that our client buy genuine copies of the fonts, pay several million won in settlement money and purchase a perpetual licence for the font products. Law Firm Changchun emphasized that, while our client was at fault in not verifying the copyright holder when downloading and using the font files, the matter arose from simple carelessness and the complainant's actual loss was minor.

By declining the complainant's unreasonable settlement terms and defending actively, Law Firm Changchun was able to obtain a non-indictment decision.

Law Firm Changchun also responds actively and effectively for clients across the range of legal problems that arise in connection with intellectual property. On the strength of that expertise, we undertake to do our utmost to protect our clients' interests.
