NAM & NAM Successful in Patent Infringement Suits
We have achieved a successful result in patent infringement lawsuits (civil proceedings and criminal proceedings), representing a world leading manufacturer of ship equipment.
We represented a defendant (“A”) against the plaintiff (“B”) in civil and criminal patent infringement proceedings. To effectively defend the client, the proceedings of the Fair Trade Commission were also utilized.
In the civil suit, B’s claim was dismissed by the District Court in April 2018 after several oral proceedings. In the oral proceedings, NAM&NAM attorneys led the witness testimony to prove that the main argument for infringement provided by the plaintiff is legally void.
In the criminal suit, the police and Prosecutor’s Office made a non-prosecution disposition in January 2018, which means the prosecution found no substantive suspicion of patent infringement, violation of unfair competition law, or fraud or interference of business activities by the CEO of A and other Korean representatives.
