[가처분이의신청사건][하집1994(1),435]

Main Issues

(a) The validity of an agreement that the translation copyright belongs to the publishing company upon the completion of the translation;

(b) The effects of trademark rights, where the title of the book is registered as a trademark;

Summary of Judgment

A. The agreement that the translation copyright belongs to publishing company upon the completion of the translation is null and void in violation of the Copyright Act that allows the copyright of the work to be attached to the author's identity at the same time as the author's work is written.

B. When the title of a book is registered as a trademark, if this word is used as the same title of the same book, it indicates the name or content of the said work as a creative production, and a person wishing to publish, produce and sell such creative production should use it unless it is contrary to the Copyright Act. Thus, this does not affect trademark rights because it has the same character as an ordinary name or an official trademark indicating quality under Article 51 of the Trademark Act.

Thus, the applicant's application of this case is revoked and all of the applications of this case are dismissed. It is decided as per Disposition by applying Article 89 of the Civil Procedure Act and Article 199 of the provisional execution declaration as to the burden of litigation costs.
