  • ??Legal advisory on copyright law issues for a service providing summaries and translations of foreign articles??

    Taelim Law Firm provided legal advisory to a company planning to launch a service that summarizes and translates foreign newspaper articles related to stocks and provides them to domestic financial companies. Taelim reviewed whether the service would violate the Copyright Act and proposed improvements and alternatives to enhance regulatory compliance.

    Attorneys Sunha Kim and Sunrye Kwon compared the original works with the texts targeted by the client??s service and comprehensively reviewed substantial similarity and the possibility that the service texts could substitute for the original works. Taelim assessed whether the service texts infringed the right to create derivative works in the original works. Taelim also presented various requirements under which the service texts could become independent works, proposed alternatives, and explained the scope within which free use of copyrighted works may be permitted, providing comprehensive legal advice on ways to lawfully provide the service.
