특허권의 중요성이 새삼 부각되고 있다. 발명으로 발생하는 권리는 국제적 성격을 띠어 세계 각국에서 특허를 취득하므로 최근 삼성-애플 특허분쟁에서와 같이 세계 각국에서의 법정에서 다발적으로 싸움이 벌어지는 것이다. 특허분쟁에서는 강력한 특허가 있어야 하며 강력한 특허는 종업원 발명자의 창의적 노력으로부터 가능하다. 강력한 특허는 곧 가치가 큰 직무발명을 말한다. 강력한 특허를 위해선 직무발명자에게 발명의욕을 고취하는 직무발명보상제도를 잘 활용할 필요가 있다.

In 2013 a new era for EU patent law system was launched. The creation of the EU patent with unitary effect and the establishment of the Unified Patent Court established a new legal framework on substantive patent protection and patent litigation in Europe. This year the EU Patent Package would become a reality. It includes a regulation on a unitary patent, a regulation on the translation regime and an international Agreement on the Unitary Patent Court. In contrast to the classical European patent, the post-grant life of unitary patent will be governed by the newly created unified patent court and it will have unitary effect. In this article, I highlight the effect of the unitary patent and the jurisdiction of the unified patent court over unitary patents (and 'traditional' patents granted under the EPC that are not opted-out) for actions in relation to patent infringement or to revocation of a European patent and to licences of right. This article explores on the one hand the relation between national patent, the classical European patent and EU patent with unitary effect and on the other hand the relation of unified patent court to the Brussels $I^{bis}$ Regulation. Particular attention is paid to the institutional changes created by the unitary patent package abd the new supplementary forum that enables the UPC to hear disputes involving defendants from third States that relate to an infringement of a European patent and give rise to damage inside as well as outside the Union. Furthermore on the perspective North-east Asia this essay examines the lessons from the experiences of EU patent package.

현대사회의 제품생산과 기업활동에서 소프트웨어의 중요성과 그 가치가 날로 높아져 가는 가운데 소프트웨어 기술혁신은 과거 소프트웨어 산업 영역에 국한되었던 비교적 작은 구조에서 이제는 다양한 산업 영역에서 다발적으로 일어나는 보다 넓은 구조로 변모하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 한국 출원인이 포함된 약 270만 건의 특허 메타데이터와 기업정보 데이터를 활용한 패널데이터를 구축하여 한국 산업계 전반에 걸쳐 일어나고 있는 소프트웨어 기술혁신의 구조 변동 현상을 밝혀내고, 이를 토대로 정부의 소프트웨어 산업 정책에 관한 함의를 도출하고자 한다. 이 연구는 다음의 네 부분으로 구성이 된다. 첫째, 최근 여러 분야에서 일어나고 있는 소프트웨어와 타 산업 간의 융합 현상과 이에 대한 이론적 논의를 전개한다. 둘째, 연구에 활용 할 데이터와 실증분석 방법론에 관하여 논의한다. 셋째, 패널분석을 기초로 한 실증분석을 수행하고, 그 결과를 제시한다. 넷째, 한국정부의 소프트웨어 산업 정책을 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 실증분석 결과가 지니는 함의에 관하여 논의한다.

As creative economy gets attention, the capabilities of transforming creative ideas into intellectual property and utilizing it commercially have become important than ever before. Korea is lack of the capabilities of utilizing intellectual property compared to those of accumulating it. This paper focuses on the strategic implication of an injunctive relief, which has a far-reaching impact on firms' business strategies as well as national industrial competitiveness because losers in lawsuits are expelled from markets. It analyzes the Samsung-Apple global IP lawsuits about smartphones and tablet PCs, which have expanded into 9 countries since 2011 when the Apple filed the IP lawsuit against Samsung in the US for the first time. In particular, this paper analyzes the requirements to get the permanent injunctive relief in the lawsuits of intellectual property from reviewing the ruling in the court of the US in 2012 and draws some implications from the perspective of business/industrial strategies. This paper has some limitations in that the lawsuit are still ongoing and it is the first attempt to find out the clue that connects legal and strategic issues in the rulings. Regardless of the limitations, however, this paper expects to contribute to raising the issues as to the importance of harmonizing the capabilities of managing technology with law, in order to survive under the era of creative economy.
