무한 사이버 공간인 인터넷의 발달과 함께 인터넷의 사용이 크게 늘어 거의 대부분이 인터넷을 이용하고 있다. 이러한 인터넷에서의 정보와 지식은 누구나가 어떠한 환경에서도 사용가능해야 한다. 장애인, 노인, 어린이, 약시 등을 고려한 웹 개발이 절실하다. 국내에서는 2008년 4월 11일 "장애인차별금지 및 권리구제 등에 관한 법률" 동법시행령(제14조)에 웹 접근성 의무화 조항 마련을 마련하여 복지 분야 뿐 아니라 인터넷에서도 장애인에 대한 평등을 강화하였다. 매년 웹 접근성 실태조사를 하고 있는 중앙행정기관의 웹 접근성 평균 점수는 2005년 72.3점, 2006년 81.8점, 2007년 88.2점, 2008년 90.6점이고, 광역지자체는 2005년 71.6점, 2006년 81.8점, 2007년 86.8점, 91.6점으로 해마다 향상되고 있는 것으로 나타났다(한국정보화진흥원 웹접근성연구소, 2009). 이와 비교해 볼 때, 민간기업의 웹사이트는 웹 접근성 준수율이 많이 낮으므로 본 연구에서는 한국 미국 일본 50대 기업의 웹 접근성 및 사용성에 대해 나라별, 기업별로 실증 평가 분석하여 문제점을 도출하고 개선안을 제시하여 민간기업의 웹 접근성, 사용성 수준을 향상시키는데 다소라도 기여하고자 하며 향후 IPTV, 휴대폰 등 다양한 웹 접근성 연구 분야에 대해 제시했다.

The purpose of this paper is to review the small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) safety policy promoted by the United States(US) government. Therefore, in this paper, along with sUAS risk factors, the risk factors of sUAS that the US government is interested in are described. In addition, the risk factors were classified into physical and non-physical factors, and provisions mentioned in the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) Relicensing Act were reviewed. Other risk scenarios were analyzed focusing on target scenario items that the FAA is interested in, such as flight operation disruption, infrastructure damage, and facility trespassing. Of course, we looked at the risk management principles promoted by the US FAA. In this paper, as a research method, the direction and contents of the FAA's sUAS policy were studied and reviewed from the analysis of major foreign journals and policy. In the research result of this paper, by analyzing the FAA sUAS safety risk management policy, the integrated operation and safety policy, physical risk management policy, operation and safety regulation, and sUAS policy and technology direction necessary for establishing the sUAS safety risk management guide in Korea are presented. The contribution of this study is to identify the leading US sUAS safety policy direction, and it can be used as basic data for deriving future domestic policy directions from this. Based on the research results presented in the future, policy studies are needed to derive detailed implementation plans.

The separability of an arbitration clause is generally recognized throughout the world, but there are no provisions of it under the Federal Arbitration Act(FAA) of the United States. As such, the controversy over the recognition of separability has developed with the rise of certain cases. The Supreme Court recognized this separability based on section 4 of the FAA in the decision of the Prima Paint case. The Court ruled that courts must decide the claim about the fraudulent inducement of an arbitration agreement itself, but they must not decide the claim about the fraudulent inducement of a contract involving a broad arbitration clause, and they have to proceed with the arbitration. The Court said that the subject of an arbitral award is set by the agreement of the parties, and thereby arbitrators can decide the issues about the fraudulent inducement of a contract on the basis of the arbitration clause when it is broad to the point of including the issues. Many courts have extended the separability beyond the fraud context to include other defenses to contract formation in the federal courts such as the occurrence of mistake, illegality, and frustration of purpose. In interpreting the parties' intention of ensuring arbitrator competence, the Supreme Court has treated differently the issues about whether the arbitration agreement exists or not and the issues about whether the preconditions for dispute resolution by a valid arbitration agreement is fulfilled or not. The Court holds that the federal policy in favor of arbitration does not apply to the former issues, and arbitrators can decide theses issues only when parties assign them clearly and unmistakably to them. However, the later issues receive a presumption in favor of arbitration; i.e., when the interpretation of a valid arbitration clause is contested, the arbitrators can decide these issues. In the First Options case, the former issue was questioned. The question of the separability of an arbitration clause is where the validity of the main contract involving the arbitration clause is contested. Therefore, the doctrine of separability did not operate in the First Options case in which the validity of the arbitration clause itself was questioned, and the decision in the First Options was irrelevant to the separability. I think that the Prima Paint case and the First Options case have different issues, and there is no tension between them.

본 연구의 목적은 정부출연연구소에서 연구개발된 기술이 민간부문에서 충분히 활용되지 못하고 있다는 문제의식으로부터 출발하여, 원천, 핵심기술의 확보가 국가경쟁력을 좌우하는 첨단기술경제시대에 막대한 국가자금으로 연구개발된 우수한 기술의 사장을 방지하고 궁극적으로 국가경제발전을 위한 전략적 기술이전 촉진 방안을 모색하는 것이다. 현재 국무총리산하 기초, 산업, 공공기술 연구회로 분류 조직되어 있는 3개 연구회 총 1개 정부출연연구소의 지난 10년간(1992-2001)의 연구예산규모, 보유특허수, 기술이전건수, 기술징수액, 기술실시계약서를 방문 조사하고 각 연구소의 기술이전전담조직의 실무자를 대상으로 설문 조사하여 설문 및 통계분석 결과를 토대로 기술이전관련 문제점 파악 및 기술이전 촉진을 위한 전략적 개선방안을 모색해 보았다. 먼저 기술이전 현황을 살펴보면 기술이전건수는 보유특허수의 3%미만, 기술료 징수액은 연구예산규모의 2%미만으로 기술이전 및 기술상업화율이 상당히 저조하다. 설문 및 통계분석 결과로부터 TLO 조직의 비효율적인 운영, 비전문성, 열악한 운영인력, 적극적인 기술이전을 위한 동기부족, 정부의 제도적인 지원부족, 기술실시계약서 조항들의 경직성 등을 기술이전 관련 문제점으로 도출해 낼 수 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고 기술이전 촉진을 위한 개선방안으로는 첫째, TLO 조직을 전략으로 개편해야 한다. 즉 기술이전 전담인력을 변리사, 전문 협상가, 연구원 둥 전문가들로 구성하여 지적재산권 관리, 기술평가, 시장조사, 기술마케팅, 사후관리 등을 효율적으로 수행해야 한다. 둘째, 정부의 정책적인 지원이 필요하다. 기술이전 전담조직에 대한 인센티브 시스템 기술이전을 위한 특별예산 편성 등을 정책적, 제도적으로 도입하는 등의 적극적인 지원이 요구된다. 셋째, 기술실시계약서 조항들을 기술실시자의 실질적인 기술 상업화에 도움이 되고 기술 유출 및 기술사장화를 방지하는 방향으로 개선하여야 한다. 특히, 전용실시권과 실시대가, 기술실시 및 지적재산권 관리와 관련된 제반 비용의 부담비율 등을 보다 유연하게 개선하여야 한다. 본 연구는 정부출연연구소에서 민간부문으로의 기술이전만을 고려하여 기술이전의 중요한 요소인 민간부문에 대한 고려가 전혀 없다. 따라서 보다 실질적이고 체계적인 결과를 도출하기 위해 민간부문을 고려한 연구가 진행되어야 한다고 생각한다.

This study reviews international discussions about the trade-labor linkage and examines the labor chapters of FTAs enforced by the US and the EU from a comparative perspective. Since early 1990s, starting from the NAFTA, the US has included forceable labor provisions in its FTAs and this trend continues to the TPP which was concluded in October 2015. On the other hand, the EU's labor provisions in its FTAs have been composed of promotional elements on labor rights based on cooperations and dialogues. These different features of labor provisions in the US and European FTAs are mainly due to the motives of the FTAs of the US and the EU respectively as well as their domestic situations with regards to domestic law and institutional set-ups. The coordination of labor provisions involves a long-term institutional as well as regulatory convergence which triggers not only economic but also social changes, compared to a relatively short-term effect of tariff elimination. For Korea which has been a FTA partner country both with the US and the EU, it is significant to keep the different characteristics in the labor provisions in mind, particularly in the process of its implementation. Concerning the implementation of Korea-US FTA, it might be problematic if Korean law and its regulatory practice on labor-management relations do not comply with that of the US. The Korea-EU FTA case can also have an indirect impact on Korea's labor laws since it stipulates in its provisions that both parties should have discussions not only within each government but also with the civil communities including NGOs. Thus, Korea should pay more attention to the true meaning in labor provisions of both FTAs in order to promote its firms to be equipped with the right labor-management system in their operations abroad.

After the establishment of the Korean Product Liability Act, a new clause on the burden of proof has been added and is being revised to meet the purpose of consumer protection. Article 3(2) of the new clause stipulates a provision for estimating a causal relationship when proving indirect facts to alleviate burden of proof. While consumer rights are increasing and public attention is drawn to consumer issues, problems are still emerging. In order to solve the problem, the U.S. Product Liability Act, which has strong consumer rights, was examined to describe the direction in which Korea's Product Liability Act should proceed in terms of consumer protection. The results of the comparative analysis show that the US has expanded the concept of strict liability in terms of rigorous liability, consumer dispute resolution, provable possibility, and litigation accessibility, The consumer dispute settlement system has thoroughly protected consumers by operating educational and systemic consumer ADR system. As for the possibility of proving, Korea has three provenances, and the United States has one. In the United States, where consumer lawsuits are frequent, lawsuits are more accessible than those in Korea, where the party responsible for proving is turned into a manufacturer and responsible for proving the case. This study focuses on consumer protection and provides implications for Korean product liability law.

Numerous discussions on the KORUS FTA has been centered around issues on trade in goods, services, or dispute settlement mechanisms. On the other hand, little attention has been given to Chpater 21 of the KORUS FTA on transparency, especially Article 21.6 which states about anti-corruption. Article 21.6 and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act shares the common purpose to prevent corruptive business practice, and they show similarities in many aspects. The FCPA enforcement has dramatically increased over the past ten years by the U.S. Department of Justice and Securities Exchange Commission stretching its jurisdiction to foreign nationals and companies. Korean business professionals and corporations are exposed to both Article 21.6 and the FCPA on corruption issues. Thus, it is imperative to understand Article 21.6 to be equipped with anti-corruption compliance programs. This paper examines the FCPA and Article 21.6 through comparative analysis and proposes appropriate measures for Korea to take.
