In the past 10 years, there have been lots of misuses of the trademark system in China. For example, some Chinese companies have registered same or similar oversea's well-known trademark as a prior rights holder, and oversea's companies lost a chance to register their own trademarks or commence cases to acquire their own trademark determination in China. So Chinese government revised Chinese Trademark Law in 2014 to remedy these mistakes. Article 30 is intended to crack down on preemptive registration and compensate for the possible unfair consequences resulted from the principle of prior registration. Under the principle of prior registration, only where the unregistered trademarks of prior use have certain influence, and where the applicant of latter applied trademark knows or should know the prior trademark and the applicant has the bad faith of obtaining unjustified interests from goodwill of such unregistered marks, it shall be curbed by Article 30. Furthermore, trademark oppositions could be filed by anybody previously. Under the revised Trademark Law Article 44, oppositions based on absolute grounds can still be filed by anyone, but oppositions based on other available grounds can only be filed by a prior rights holder or a materially-interested party with undefined but similar to the standing requirement for filing nullities under Article 41 of the old law, and likely intended to cover trademark licensees and successors.

The present study was to analyze the trend of registration of design rights in apparel products and tc point out problems of current protection law to design. The research data was total 1,850 design rights in apparel that have been registered to the Korean Patent and Trademark Office from the first design registered in March 1, 1963 through those registered in April 24, 2003. All design rights were analyzed by the year, by the type of product, and by the type of applicant. And also design rights registered under the revised design registration system(without examination) were analyzed by the trait. The results of the study were as follows: (1) Sweater & polo shirts, underpants, and the Korean traditional dress were three major single categories registered in apparel : (2) 54.3% of total design rights in apparel was registered since the legal system of design rights has been revised in March 1, 1998 : (3) Registration by individual applicant were 71.7% of total; (4) About 60% of total design rights were for aesthetic, but in some categories such as vest. brassiere, undershirts, designs for function were more frequently registered than others. And total 68 design rights for the symbol of the organization or uniform, were registered in upper outerwear and pants : (5) As problems of the current legal protection system for designs, the term of “design”(expressed in Korean), double registration of similar designs, malicious intention to register other's trademark as his/her own design. The current legal system for design rights were more used for the product that has relatively long life cycle. And the revised law has been effective in encouraging the registration of design rights. However. the current design law still has some problems to be revised to prevent design rights or trademark infringement.

전 세계적으로 온라인 상거래 시장 규모가 성장함에 따라 국제 및 국내 기업의 상표권이 침해되는 사례가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 다양한 연구 및 보고서에 따르면, 해외 기업 또는 개인이 국내 기업의 상표권을 침해한 사례와, 국내 기업 간 발생하는 상표권 분쟁 사례가 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 특허청의 보고서에 따르면 기업의 규모가 작을수록 상표보호를 위한 사전 예방활동을 수행하지 않는다고 응답한 비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 문제는 선등록 상표에 대한 사전조사 또는 자사의 상표보호를 위해 소요되는 인력과 비용이 원인인 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 국내에서 선등록상표에 대한 사전조사를 위해 상용되는 서비스를 살펴보면 상표 이미지를 활용한 검색 서비스를 제공하고 있지 않은 상황이다. 이로 인해 국내 대다수의 기업은 자사의 상표 보호 및 선등록 상표에 대한 사전조사 수행 시 방대한 양의 선등록된 상표를 수작업으로 조사해야하는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기업의 상표권 보호 및 선등록 상표에 대한 사전조사 수행 시 투입되는 인력 및 비용절감과, 국내외에서 발생하고 있는 상표권 침해 문제를 해결하기 위해 합성곱 신경망 기법을 활용한 지능형 유사 상표 검색 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 지적 재산권 전문가가 선정한 테스트 데이터를 활용하여 지능형 유사 상표 검색 모델의 정확도를 측정한 결과 ResNet V1 101의 성능이 가장 높게 나타났다. 해당 결과를 통해 이미지 분류 알고리즘이 단순한 사물 인식 분야뿐만 아니라 이미지 검색 분야에서도 높은 성능을 나타낸다는 것을 실증적으로 입증했으며, 본 연구는 실제 상표 이미지 데이터를 활용했다는 측면에서 실제 산업 환경에서 활용성이 높을 것으로 사료된다.

The intellectual properties right are becoming very critical issues in domestic fashion industries and also international trade. Although it is true that intellectual properties rights are commonly infringed in fashion industry, none of researches has been done for this matter. The present study is to analyze the patterns of infringement by case analysis, which was limited to trademark and trade dress. As a result, in case of trademarks, counterfeiting was relatively clear case, but it is generally investigated by prosecutes whereas the judgement of similar trademark has been taken by legal lawsuit. In case of industrial design(trade dress) most of disputes were related to textile design and modified Korean tradition dress. Reflecting the short history of protection of intellectual properties rights many informations and legal regulations should be established by te government and by the association of fashion related industry.

인터넷의 등장에 따른 사이버스페이스의 확장이 많은 변화를 야기하고, 특히 법 영역에서 현실세계의 법체계와 충돌하면서, '사이버스페이스와 법'에 관련된 문제는 우리나라 뿐만 아니라 세계 각지에서 21세기의 가장 중요한 이슈 가운데 하나로 부상하고 있다. 인터넷이나 컴퓨터와 관련된 기술발전의 속도가 빨라지고, 디지털화와 그 결과물인 디지털콘텐츠의 중요성이 증대되고, 전자상거래가 현실세계의 거래에 버금가는 영향력을 갖게 되면서 지적재산권 관련분야의 환경도 급변하고 있다. 특허, 상표, 저작권 등 지적재산권 이용형태의 다양화와 정보 유통형태의 혁신적 발전은 더 많은 정보의 자유로운 이용을 요구하는 이용자와 그러한 환경변화에 부응하는 보호를 요구하는 지적재산권자간의 충돌을 야기하고 있으며, 새로운 유형의 정신적 창작물에 대한 보호와 규율에 대한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이런 상황에서 세계 정치, 경제, 법률을 이끌고 있는 미국의 지적재산권관련 법제의 전개상황을 면밀히 살펴보는 것은 우리의 이익을 지키기 위하여 필수 불가결한 활동이다.

In the current digital age, most of the countries in the world recognize the electronic business to be a very prospective area in the future and plan to activate for the preoccupation of the business. As a result, this led a rapid increase of the electronic business volume. Electronic business takes place in the cyber space, using internet. However, the intellectual property rights have a high degree of possibility of being infringed as the digitalized intellectual property is easy to receive, copy and transmit in the cyber space. The language structure on the web, represented by HTML, makes easier to copy the intellectual property. And, as the internet has no national boundary, the infringement of the intellectual property rights is easier regardless of country, which could lead to the commercial disputes between the concerned countries. There are in fact many legal disputes nowadays on the infringement of the intellectual property rights in such field as computer programming, infringement of the copyright, business model patent and infringement of the trademark right on the registered name of the domain. It is, therefore, time now to prepare a new theory or legal system to protect the intellectual property rights on copyright, patent and trademark right so as to comply with the digital environment together with such a splendid growth of "electronic business." USA and Germany are nowadays making a significant movement on the legislation of the electronic business, and this study will focus on the legislative contents, judicial precedents and interpretation of law in the above countries.

Recently, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced the expansion of the number of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) beyond the current 22 gTLDs, and the gTLD Applicant Guidebook for ICANN's new gTLD program is now under consideration for approval. ICANN also introduces a "Trademark Clearinghouse" and the "Uniform Rapid Suspension (URS)" procedure to protect trademarks and expedite dispute resolution and save costs. The Trademark Clearinghouse is a central repository for information to be authenticated, stored and disseminated, pertaining to the rights of the trademark holders. Trademark holders would voluntarily provide data of their trademarks from all over the world, and it would assist a trademark watch service provided by the new gTLD registry for trademark holders and potential domain name registrants. The URS is a part of the new gTLD dispute resolution mechanisms created by ICANN to resolve cybersquatting disputes. A complainant in a URS proceeding must establish three elements that are very similar to the existing UDRP to succeed, but supposedly more expedited and cost efficient. Since the URS provides that it only protects court validated and registered trademarks, it is not clear whether unregistered marks used in commerce are protected under the URS. The URS escalates the complainant's burden of proof from a preponderance of evidence standard under the UDRP to a clear and convincing evidence standard. The notices to a respondent shall be sufficient if the URS Provider sends the notice of Complaint to the addresses listed in the Whois contact information. As registrants who wish to conceal their true identity often subscribe to the privacy/proxy service and the complainant's high rate of success in the UDRP proceeding is relevant to the respondents' default rate, the URS's simple notice requirement would deprive respondents of a fair opportunity to assert their rights over the disputed domain names.

소득증대와 고용창출의 핵심역할을 하는 지식재산권은 특히 창조경제에서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 많은 기업들은 이러한 패러다임에서 브랜드관리에 심혈을 기울이고 있는 가운데 강력한 브랜드자산을 구축함으로써 궁극적으로 이윤극대화 등 기업의 경영성과를 올리기 위한 노력이 높아지고 있다. 기술거래 및 사업화, 금융지원, 투자의 사결정, M&A, 소송, 브랜드전략 등의 목적에서 브랜드 재활성화(revitalizing)를 위한 상표권 가치의 합리적 평가는 매우 중요한 것이라 할 것이다. 그러나 이러한 중요함에도 불구하고 지식재산권에 대한 인식부족과 평가하는 역량은 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 기업상표권 가치평가를 위해 실제 상표권을 보유하고 있는 사례기업을 대상으로 원가법과 수익접근법에 의한 사례분석을 실시하여, 원가법의 205백만원에서부터 수익접근법의 변동할인율, 조정기여도를 적용한 270백만원까지 다양한 결과를 제시하였다. 하지만 단일기업을 통해 시사점을 얻은 것은 본 연구의 한계이며, 향후 규모별, 업종별 다양한 기업군의 사례분석과 적용반안에 대한 연구가 계속되어야 할 것이다.
