In international transactions, a demand guarantee is commonly used as a so-called independent bank guarantee to protect against the other party's default under, or breach of, contract). However, there is a risk that the independence and the documentary character of the demand guarantee may be abused by the beneficiary of the guarantee, who may fall into the temptation to demand or call for payment under the guarantee by preparing documents that appear to constitute a complying demand for payment, even though the demand has no conceivable basis. In Korea, through case law, a legal rule has been developed to prevent such abusive calls for payment. This paper examines how such rule that prohibits abuse of rights is applying in the context of counter-guarantees. To this end, this paper first considers the concepts of a demand guarantee and a counter-guarantee and the basic legal principles applicable thereto. And then this paper considers abusive calls under the guarantees, that exceptionally works as grounds for refusal of payment by guarantors and counter-guarantors, further looking at some situations in which the calls amount to be abusive under counter-guarantees in particular.

Recently, a patent holder of a technology that has been selected as a standard has caused considerable difficulties in enacting and using a patent technology standard as a patent ambush act that abuses the right. Major countries in the world are preparing legal grounds to prevent patent ambush, but in Korea, legal binding is very limited. Therefore, in this study, various proposals were attempted to prepare problems and policy solutions related to patent ambush in standard patents. In particular, we investigated issues and cases related to domestic and foreign ambush patents, it is considered that it is necessary to prepare a legally available device, clear standards for abuse of FRAND patent rights, and a patent compensation system to prevent patent ambushing.

공정거래법의 실효적 집행을 위해서는 무엇보다도 공적집행을 개선하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위하여 무엇보다 합리적이고 투명한 절차운영과 이해관계인의 절차상 권리 강화, 경쟁보호라는 목적에 충실하기 위한 공정위의 독립성과 전문성 확보, 그리고 사법심사를 통한 공정위의 재량권 남용 통제의 강화 등이 이루어질 필요가 있다. 아울러 공정거래법의 실효적 집행은 절차법만의 문제가 아니라, 실체법의 문제이기도 하다는 점을 간과해서는 안 된다. 따라서 집행의 개선논의는 금지기준의 명확성, 타당성 및 목적적합성이라는 실체법적 차원에서도 아울러 접근하여야 한다. 그리고 이러한 실체법의 발전과 합리적인 법 적용이란 공정위의 준 사법 기관성에 걸맞는 경쟁법 전문가의 적극적인 활용에 크게 좌우되는 것임은 물론이다.

This study analyzed the abuse of authority among the types of power abuse in educational institutions in order to create an educational climate in which democracy and equality are respected and to create a better education and an equal society. First, we analyzed the concept and cause of power abuse through literature research, and then explored the cases of members of educational institutions according to the type of abuse of authority through qualitative research to derive implications. As a result, abuse of authority within educational institutions were found as follows: additional work without consultation, transfer of duties, coercive and unilateral instructions using status, instructions violating laws and guidelines, private instructions for personal convenience, specific institutions, personal rights, and privacy. Based on this analysis, a policy was proposed. First, an agreed standard for abuse of authority, an institutional mechanism to mediate conflicts and complaints over abuse of authority, mandatory installation and legislation of the best decision body, active and transparent disclosure of information, and a shift to open and listening administration are needed. Second, analyzing and seeking ways to reduce overuse of authority in educational institutions will be the cornerstone for leading education's democracy and equality by creating a culture of mutual respect and communication among members of the organization. Hope that follow-up studies will be carried out and that the Gap-jil in educational institutions will be reduced to create a better educational environment.

A counter-guarantee is an independent undertaking and it functions in the same way as an ordinary independent guarantee. However, the typical notion of independence which applies to the relationship between the guarantee and the underlying contract cannot be exactly transposed to the relationship between the counter-guarantee and the primary guarantee, because the primary guarantor bears its duties that derive from the mandate. In this respect, this study reviews, with some critics, a Korean appellate court's decision and argues that, in spite of the principle of independence between the counter-guarantee and the primary guarantee, the primary guarantor may not be entitled to reimbursement from the counter-guarantor, if it is objectively evident that the primary guarantor has failed to perform its duty of verifying compliance under the primary guarantor or if it is objectively evident that the primary guarantor knows that it is objectively evident that there was fraudulent calling by the beneficiary under the primary guarantee.

Such exclusion may lead to problems such as misuse and mishandling of personal information by data controllers as well as infringement upon the data subejct's right to control over their personal information. This study is to find solutions to the above problems, considering the public interests of statistics and the facilitation of the collection and the use of statistics. Ultimately, the study is to suggest recommendations for the Personal Information Protection Act to ensure the data subject's rights to request access and rectification as well as safe management of the collected personal information.

A parallel importation is a non-counterfeit product imported from another country without the permission of the intellectual property owner. It is caused by price differences between countries. Therefore parallel importation are implication in issues of international trade and intellectual property rights(hereafter referred as IPR). This paper provides parallel importation issues of Korea and China under the IPR laws such as patent, trademarks, copyright and analyzes difference between two countries. In China, patent law regulates exhaustion rights which is based theory of a parallel import for the first time unlike trademark law and copyright law. On the other hands, Korea rules parallel importing under Korean customs regulations. In conclusion, two countries have no provisions that advocate a parallel import under IPR laws. This paper suggests some improvements to overcome the limitation of current regulation system and avoid trade friction between two countries. First of all, two countries should clearly make a rule about parallel import in IPR law such as definition of parallel importation, genuine goods, permission conditions, importing proses, penalty and remedy etc. Secondly, two countries should prohibit an abuse of a exclusive import agent's rights and manage a parallel importer not to cause consumer's complain about goods to expansion parallel imports. Finally, two countries should cooperate not to cause disputes about this issue with a communication channel.

명의신탁이란 신탁자와 수탁자 간의 대내적 관계에서는 신탁자가 부동산소유권을 보유하고 신탁목적물이 부동산을 관리하고 수익 및 처분하면서 등기의 공부상 소유명의만을 수탁자로 하여 두는 제도로서 구법시대 부터 판례에 의하여 인정되어왔다. 부동산소유권과 그 밖의 물권을 실체적 권리관계에 부합하도록 실권리자 명의로 등기함으로써 부동산등기제도를 남용한 불법행위 등 반사회적 행위를 예방하고 부동산 거래의 안정화를 도모하여 국민경제의 건전한 성장에 기여함을 목적으로 1995년 제정된 부동산실명법에 의하여 원칙적으로 명의신탁이 금지될 뿐만 아니라 엄격하게 해석되어야 함에 불구하고 아직도 명의신탁은 척결되지 않고 있는 것이 사실이다. 특히 명의신탁에 있어서 부동산실명법에 의거 명의신탁약정이 무효가 된 경우에 명의신탁 대상의 부동산소유권이 누구에게 귀속되는가 등 여러 가지 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 명의신탁은 계약자유의 원칙이 지배하는 현시점에서 법률행위 논리가 반영되어야 할 것으로 본다.

It brought on diversion of rivals and depression of game market. We examine the abuse of music game patent through the case of Konami. We examine the negative influence through all music game market that creativity blocked by repetitive patent lawsuit institutes from little change of operation device and music game hardware even though it is reasonable for guarantee of new technology patent in game field which is a idea industry. We examine the lawsuit cases of abuse of music game patent in Korea, China and Japan and we analyze market change through the cases. We recommend policy for this industry development.
