On behalf of our client, Company H, a top 3 global automotive group, LIN(Attorney, In Chul Kang) obtained a dismissal on appeal from the Korean Intellectual Property Court in a case in which our client was accused of leaking technical data under the Fair Transactions in Subcontracting Act (the “Subcontracting Act”) and violating the Fair Trade Act, among others.
On behalf of our client, we proved that the products claimed by the plaintiff (the other party) did not constitute goods subject to manufacturing entrustment under the Subcontracting Act and that the materials at issue were not technical data under the Subcontracting Act. In September 2019, the court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal and rejected the plaintiff's request for a change of mind on appeal, finding that the plaintiff's products were general purpose products, not specialized products, and that there was no violation of the Subcontracting Act and the Fair Trade Act.
The opposing party filed an appeal; however, on June 1, 2023, the court issued a ruling dismissing the appeal, stating that all the grounds raised were without merit.
In addition to our mobility industry experts, this case was successfully handled by our lawyers who have extensive experience in the field of the Subcontracting Act, as well as experts who are familiar with antitrust law and subcontracting transactions, including a former advisor to the Subcontracting Division of the Korea Fair Trade Commission, demonstrating the firm's excellent collaborative capabilities.
LIN will continue to offer comprehensive legal services by collaborating with industry experts who are familiar with the practices of each relevant industry and field to provide optimal solutions tailored to each specific case.
