I have been reporting that I was asked to pay more than 1 million won from the copyright holder because of the font written on the shop guide.



Reporter Lee Hyun-jung covered whether such copyright disputes occur frequently, but whether there is a solution.



<Reporter> A



dog kindergarten opened in Gangseo-gu, Seoul earlier this month. Mr. Jung, the president, received a certificate of content from a law firm within ten days of starting business.



I took a picture of the inside of the store to promote it and posted it on my blog, but the notice on the wall was a problem.



[Jung Mo's / self-employed: (downed doing) To use this font, while talking as we have that font is font that gotta copyright register made available precautions must copyrights (used) Registration



in the legal dispute When Mr. Jung, who was surprised that he might be caught up in it, contacted this law firm, he was instructed to register for use with the company that owns the font copyright.



[Mr. Jung - Law Office Call: (Can I remove this (information)?) (Use of copyright) You need to register to solve it.]



When I ask the company for the registration procedure, it asks for more than 1 million won.



[Copyright registrar (Mr. Jeong - copyright registrar currency): The price is 1.8 million won for the most recent case, exclusive of VAT, 1.5 million won for the one a year ago, without VAT, and 1.2 million won for the case two years ago ( You can register to use it.)]



It is said that he felt embarrassed that he had to pay such a fee just because he put up a guide.



[Mr. Jung/Self-Employed: If I knew that (copyright) was registered, I would not use it while paying such a fee.]



However, according to court precedents, it is difficult to hold Mr. Jung responsible for copyright.



This is because the 'typeface file', not the 'typeface' itself, is regarded as a work, and the 'typeface file', that is, the company that directly uses the work is responsible.



Nevertheless, some copyright holders and their legal representatives often sue for settlement money.



[Hong Seung-gi / Professor, Inha University Law School: (Excessive copyright claims) I think it is an abuse of rights. This actually comes not a favorable judgment by him the owner (copyright registered company) when I went to the or the court criminal complaint to the investigating authorities.]



This is how to respond to conflict through the mediation process of the Korea Copyright Commission if you receive such a fee request There is.
