2. Determination as to the cause of claim
A. According to the facts of recognition as above, since the defendant violated the plaintiff's property right by using the plaintiff's computer program, which is the plaintiff's computer program work without permission, the defendant is liable to compensate the plaintiff's damage pursuant to Article 750 (1) of the Civil Code.
B. The Plaintiff is liable to compensate for damages pursuant to Article 125(2) of the Copyright Act. The Plaintiff is seeking to pay KRW 4,510,000 for usage fees stipulated in the instant letter’s license agreement, which is “an amount equivalent to the amount ordinarily entitled to receive by exercising the right” under Article 125(2) of the Copyright Act. The “amount equivalent to the amount ordinarily entitled to receive by exercising the right” refers to the amount objectively equivalent to the amount that the infringer would have paid if he had obtained permission for using the work. In the event that the copyright holder did not enter into a license agreement with respect to the work in question or receive any usage fees, if the copyright holder did not have entered into such agreement, the royalty generalized in the relevant industry may be considered as the basis for calculating the amount of damages caused by the infringement of the copyright, but the copyright owner may be deemed as the infringement
