The old sources of competitive edge and value added were land, labor, and capital. In today's knowledge-based economy in the 21st century, technology is attracting attention as a new engine of growth. That paradigm shift of world economy has resulted in the global spread of technology transfer and the gradual increase of trade of intangible goods including patents and know-how as well as tangible goods in international trade. An international license agreement is a representative form of technology transfer. In license agreements, the providers of technology keep their ownership of technology, allow the implementation of technology to the users of technology only for a certain period of time, and receive loyalty as a reward. Economic profit through such technology trade can be realized with the smooth implementation and termination of agreement. International license agreements are different from sales contracts, which represent international business transaction based on mutual obligation, in many aspects in that they target intangible goods of technology and aim for rent for a certain period of time. This study thus set out to examine issues that could be controversial in the main and individual obligation of the parties in international license agreements and provide implications helpful for the prevention of disputes in advance.

유엔에서 협약한 국제거래법규는 국가간의 물품매매 계약시에 지대한 영향을 행사하며 앞으로의 국제거래법에서 중요한 표준규범이 되리라 전망된다. 특히 국제거래법규는 영미법의 표준거래규범과 유사한 점이 많지만 세부적으로 살펴보면 상이점 또한 지대하다고 하겠다. 본 연구는 국제거래법규의 형성과정을 영미법을 근간으로 하고 있는 표준거래규범의 측면과 대륙법적 측면에 대한 이론적 구성을 계약형성과정을 통하여 세부적으로 검토하고자 한다. 아울러 국제거래법규의 입법취지의 이해를 돕고자 유엔에서 협약했던 유사한 국제거래규범들의 입법에 관한 역사를 연대순으로 정리하였다. 본 연구의 결론은 계약형성과정에서의 이론적 구성이 대륙법적 측면보다 영미법의 표준거래규범 측면에 있다는 것이다. 그러므로 본 연구는 영미법의 표준거래규범(U.C.C)과 더불어서 물품거래 계약시에 지대한 영향을 미치는 국제거래법규(CISG)에 대해서 근접적인 접근방식으로 고찰하였다.

블록체인 기술체계의 핵심 중 하나로 스마트 계약이 각광받고 있다. 이에 따라 국제적으로 스마트 계약과 관련된 표준안 또는 기술 규격을 마련하고자 하는 시도가 이어지고 있다. 본고에서는 국제표준화기구(ISO)의 TC 307(블록체인/분산원장기술위원회)에서 작성되어 간행을 앞두고 있는 TR(기술리포트) 23455의 주요 내용을 리뷰하여, 스마트 계약과 관련된 국제 표준 분석의 기초를 제공하고자 한다.

It is the most critical issue in recent international intellectual property licence disputes to decide the applicable laws to the license contracts. As Korea and the European Union(EU) reached free trade agreement(FTA), and the EU-Korea FTA entered into force on July 1, 2011, the FTA has boosted social, economic, cultural exchanges between the two. As a result of the increased transactions in those sectors, legal disputes are also expected to grow. This situation calls for extensive research and understanding of the choice of law principles applicable to international intellectual property license contracts in the EU. To decide the laws applicable to issues arising from international intellectual property license contracts disputes, the characterization of those issues is necessary for the purpose of applying private international law principles to them. In terms of characterization, intellectual property license contracts fall within contractual matters. In the EU, the primary rule of choice of law principles in contractual obligations is the Rome I Regulation. Because the choice of law rules, such as private international law principles, the Rome Convention(1980), and the Rome I Regulation, differ in the time of application, it is essential to clarify the time factor of related contracts. For example, the Rome I Regulation applies to contracts which were concluded as from December 17, 2009. Although party autonomy in international contracts disputes is generally allowed, if there is no choice of law agreement between the parties to the contracts, the objective test rule of private international law doctrine could be the best option. Following this doctrine, the Rome I Regulation Article 4, Paragraph 1 provides the governing law rules based on the types of contracts, but there is no room for intellectual property license contracts. After all, as the rule for governing law of those contracts, the Rome I Regulation Article 4, Paragraph 2 should be applied and if there are countries which are more closely connected to the contracts under the Rome I Regulation Article 4, Paragraph 3, the laws of those countries become the governing laws of the contracts. Nevertheless, if it is not possible to decide the applicable laws to the license contracts, the Rome I Regulation Article 4, Paragraph 4 should be applied in the last resort and the laws of the countries which are the most closely connected to the contracts govern the license contracts. Therefore, this research on the laws applicable to intellectual property license contracts under the Rome I Regulation suggests more systematic and effective solutions for future disputes in which Korea and the EU countries play the significant role as the connecting factors in the conflict of laws rules. Moreover, it helps to establish comprehensive and theoretical understanding of applying the Korean Private International Law to multifarious choice-of-law cases.

This paper investigates the difference of writing requirements between the UCC2. and the UN convention on international sales of goods (CISG). To do it, the U.S writing requirement by statute of frauds was introduced by two sources of laws including common law and UCC${\S}$2-201. Although the U.S. statute of frauds requires some contract to be written with formalities, the way the requirement is satisfied is quite flexible in terms of its formalities. The UCC is more flexible than the common law in its formalities. The CISG does not require the sales contract to be written with any format, which is totally different from the U.S statue of frauds. Such differences between the U.S laws and CISG in writing requirement were investigated in the context of conflicts of laws.

1997년 외환위기 이후 국내 부실기업의 해외매각을 빠른 속도로 진행하여 매각과정에서 협상력 부재로 인해 기업가치를 제대로 평가받지 못하였을 뿐만 아니라 계약조건 부분에 있어서도 협상성과는 매우 낮은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 또한, 부실한 계약조건으로 인해 계약이행이 종료되지 못하고 소송이나 중재와 같은 분쟁발생이 급격이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 문제인식 하에 본 논문은 부실기업 매각협상 사례중 국제중재와 관련된 한보철강 매각의 사례를 통해 매각시 국제중재를 통해 분쟁을 해결하는 과정을 상세하게 설명함으로써 향후 매각협상 과정뿐만 아니라 매각이후 분쟁이 실제로 발생한다면 이에 대한 정확한 대처와 중재 대처 전략을 수립할 수 있도록 하기 위함이다. 중재는 소송과 달리 단심제로서 중재기간이 상대적으로 짧다고 볼 수 있으나 단심제의 특성을 감안하여 최대한 유리한 증거와 증인확보 등 보다 더 적극적인 자세로 임해야 할 것이다. 본 사례연구에서 중요한 시사점은 국내 협상자들이 협상시 매각가격에만 중요성을 부여하며 기타 계약조건 특히, 준거법 및 관할권에 대해 소홀히 취급하는 경향이 있다는 점이다. 본 한보 중재에서도 승리의 결정적인 원인은 바로 계약서에 준거법을 한국법이라고 명시하였기 때문에 가능했던 것이다 이러한 점은 향후 국제협상시 중요하게 다루어져야 할 사항이라고 판단된다.

International arbitration is the important field of applying CISG and the backbone of uniform law developed by CISG. Now CIETAC tribunals like courts of contracting states apply CISG precisely, which is beneficial to improving the quality and the credit of arbitral cases. Arbitration has the characters of independence and the non-government. the legal foundation of arbitral tribunal's applying CISG are the national arbitral law, the applicable arbitral procedures and usages of arbitration, not for performing international obligations under the CISG. CIETAC mainly use China Contract Law and CISG over the cases of sale of goods. Because of no provisions on recovery of differential price loss (equal to article 75 and 76 of CISG) Chinese tribunals have more discretion in determining the sum of damages under the China Contract Law. Applying China Contract Law may not beneficial to aggrieved party.
