Global commerce is apparently here to bind Korean firms as well as Koreans. The advertising, buying and selling of goods and services recognizes no borders. As a result, enforcing territorially based trademark rights has become ever more challenging. Remote trademark owners who peacefully coexisted in a time before the internet and increasing globalism are now bumping heads. The internet also has made it easier for unscrupulous operators to deceive consumers and divert customers from established businesses by misappropriating trademarks on web-sites and in domain names. U.S. federal courts have been willing to help American businesses halt trademark infringements that reaches outside the United States. This is particularly true for e-business, via the internet, and the trend toward enforcement seems to be in favor of the trademark owner. This article discusses this trend as well as the extraterritorial enforcement of trademark rights by U.S. courts under the Lanham Act. It also offers suggestions for protecting valuable trademark rights worldwide. This paper will contribute to global Korean firms and Koreans who carefully read arguments in this valuable literature.

With the development of internet technology, a lot of content is produced, and the demand for it is increasing. Accordingly, the number of contents in circulation is increasing, while the number of distributing illegal copies that infringe on copyright is also increasing. The Korea Copyright Protection Agency operates a illegal content obstruction program based on substring matching, and it is difficult to accurately search because a large number of noises are inserted to bypass this. Recently, researches using natural language processing and AI deep learning technologies to remove noise and various blockchain technologies for copyright protection are being studied, but there are limitations. In this paper, noise is removed from data collected online, and keyword-based illegal copies are searched. In addition, the same heavy uploader is estimated through profiling analysis for heavy uploaders. In the future, it is expected that copyright damage will be minimized if the illegal copy search technology and blocking and response technology are combined based on the results of profiling analysis for heavy uploaders.

The problem of the cases of Soribada and Winny is their duplexity that they could be used legally and illegally. The issue called 'The crime of aiding through the neutral behavior' is about whether the program developer who shared the file sharing program letting unspecified public infringe the copyright could be punished or not. Many theories about limiting the traditional scope of punishment of aider have been maintained. However, it is questionable whether it is possible to limit the scope of punishment following the former cases and theories even for the action that is causal and facilitates the principal's criminal conduct, like the aid through the neutral action which is hard to perceive as illegal aid because of its characteristics. Therefore, using the case of Soribada in Korea and the case of Winny in Japan as the examples of illegal aid through neutral behavior case, this paper examines the characteristics and problems of aid through existing theories and cases, and suggests new scope of punishment limitation standard through the elaboration of the action of aid and judgment of degree.

With the development of the IT industry and the increase of cultural activities, the demand for works increases, and they can be used easily and conveniently in an online environment. Accordingly, copyright infringement is seriously occurring due to the ease of copying and distribution of works. Some special types of Online Service Providers (OSP) use filtering-based technology to protect copyrights, but they can easily bypass them, and there are limits to blocking all illegal works, making it increasingly difficult to protect copyrights. Recently, most of the distributors of illegal works are a certain minority, and profits are obtained by distributing illegal works through many OSP and majority ID. In this paper, we propose a profiling technique for heavy uploader, which is a major analysis target based on illegal works. Creates a feature containing information on overall illegal works and identifies major heavy uploader. Among these, clustering technology is used to identify heavy uploader that are presumed to be the same person. In addition, heavy uploaders with high priority can be analyzed through illegal work Distributor tracking and behavior analysis. In the future, it is expected that copyright damage will be minimized by identifying and blocking heavy uploader that distribute a large amount of illegal works.

인터넷과 멀티미디어 기술의 발달은 우리에게 다양한 콘텐츠를 손쉽게 접할 수 있는 환경을 제공하였다. 그러나 멀티미디어 콘텐츠의 무분별한 복제와 불법유통으로 인한 저작권 침해는 심각한 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 정부는 저작권법을 전면 개정하면서 강력한 대응책을 마련하고 있다. 특히 개정 저작권법은 동영상, 음악, 게임 등 다양한 콘텐츠에 대한 불법 유통을 방지하고자 특수한 유형의 온라인서비스제공자들의 기술적 조치(필터링)를 의무화하고 있다. 이에 따라 필터링기술에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 해당 온라인서비스사업자(OSP)들은 필터링 기술의 적용을 준비하고 있으며, 기술개발업체들은 법적 기준을 충족시킬 수 있는 필터링 기술의 개발을 위해 노력하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 상황의 배경과 필터링 기술의 개요와 국내외 동향 및 향후 전망을 제시한다.

디지털 정보의 생성과 배포의 용이성은 디지털화된 동영상의 제작을 증가시키고 있다. 그러나 디지털 콘텐츠는 복제가 쉽고 누구나 접근이 가능한 인터넷을 통해 전달될 수 있으므로 저작권 침해가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 문제점은 특히 사용자의 PC에 저장되어 재생되는 동영상에 주로 발생하였으며, 종래에는 사용자의 PC에 저장된 동영상 파일의 보호를 위해 동영상 파일의 전체를 암호화한 후 적법한 사용자에게만 암호화된 동영상 파일을 복호화 할 수 있는 정보를 제공하는 방법을 사용하였다. 사용자의 PC에 저장되어 재생되는 동영상에 비하여 스트리밍 서비스를 통하여 재생되는 동영상은 사용자의 PC에 저장되지 않도록 함으로써 불법 복제등의 문제를 해결하였다. 하지만 근래 스트리밍을 통하여 서비스되는 동영상을 저장할 수 있는 프로그램이 속속 등장하면서 스트리밍을 통하여 서비스되는 동영상에 대한 보호 방안도 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 스트리밍 컨텐츠로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 마이크로소프트의 멀티미디어 파일 포맷인 ASF를 기반으로한 스트리밍 시스템에 DRM을 적용하는 방안에 대하여 설명한다.

In this paper, we studied on the building models of open educational resource service system for download or upload their own educational content to be shared with the others without worrying about copyright infringement. We first analyzed the building models of the international OER(Open Educational Resource) service sites. And then, based on these results, we present the new service models suitable to be built the open educational resource service system in phases. The proposed models have the flexibility to accommodate the needs of users and have the advantage that the copyright-related issues of the existing 'National Educational Information Sharing System' could be solved step by step.

With the broader range of information and communications technology, of which fashion is a foundational medium, to analyze fashion as an information technology in order to better understand the industry's desire for intellectual property protection, popular resistance to such protection, and the most efficacious balance between them in terms of creative expression. It is, therefore to be focused on cultural and historical reasons for the limited degree of intellectual property protection extended in the past to certain categories of human creativity, including fashion design. So, the question of why some tension still exists between creators and consumers of fashion, how information theory can contribute to an explanation for that tension, and what role law can play in its resolution with Louboutin case and Levi case. Consumers and designers alike are better served by promotion of fair competition, lower litigation costs, and the inventive synergy of the fashion industry. Louboutin shows the comfortable, respectful limits of trademark law, while Levi illustrates the dangerous, overreaching deference that a few circuits have granted to famous marks. The Supreme Court could clarify the standard for dilution claims, requiring that a junior mark be "identical or nearly identical" or even "significantly similar" to a senior mark. Courts should need a deference in making dilution determinations and can choose to make this factor quite subjective with the highest degree of similarity.

In recently, thanks to the development of computer and internet, and reinforcement of digital media literacy of ordinary people, many users of comics and animations recombine contents into various ways, including UCCs. In a glance, it seems these outputs violates the copyrights of contents. But in reality, they helps the growth of the ecosystem of contents market, with increase of contents users. The reason of these reproductions inclines the characteristics of animation media. Animation, which are constituted by plastic symbols, auditory symbols, and narrative symbols, and Comic, which supports stories of Animations, affects as 'Imaginary signifier'. These signifiers helps users of contents to dismantle and reassemble stories. These aspects are seen in doujin culture, animation soundtrack fandom, and voice actor fandom. But In this article, we will concentrate into cosplay culture. Cosplay culture shows more active appearances than another fandoms. In especially, cosplay stage and daily cafe show more active reproductions of characters and communications. However, they are done by youth fans, which has not enough financial abilities: therefore, events are not sustainable and discontinued. And they have another limits, like lack of opportunity of performance. In the reality of Korean society, which needs of community making by community member, and hybrid culture, comics and animation productions in Korea are in need of access positively and encourage reproductions of active receivers of animations.
