국민건강보험공단이 담배회사를 상대로 손해배상 청구소송을 진행 중에 있다. 담배회사는 전통적으로 소송 진행 과정에서 과학적 근거를 오용하거나 과학자를 포섭하여 소송을 유리한 방향으로 이끌어 가기 위한 노력을 해왔다. 본 연구는 전 세계적으로 주목 받고 있는 국민건강보험공단의 소송 과정 중 담배회사의 전략을 분석하였다. 선행연구를 통해 이미 밝혀진 담배회사의 담배소송 전략을 이해한다. 국민건강보험공단 소송 중 법원에 제출된 소장, 준비서면, 증거자료 등에 대한 내용분석을 통해 담배회사의 소송 전략을 파악한다. 국민건강보험공단의 소장 내용 중 첨가물 사용과 관련된 쟁점에 대해 담배회사는 세계보건기구의 "Tobacco: deadly in any form or disguise(2006)" 보고서 중 'American spirit'과 같은 천연담배로 광고하는 담배제품에 대한 의견을 마치 첨가물이 들어간 제품과 천연담뱃잎을 사용하는 담배제품 간 위험성이나 중독성에 차이가 없다는 내용으로 준비서면을 작성하였다. 하지만 원래 보고서 내용은 첨가제가 들어가지 않았다고 광고하는 천연담배의 위험성을 경고하는 내용이었다. 즉, 보고서의 작성 의도를 무시하고 정반대의 해석으로 과학적 근거를 오용하였다. 또한 준비서면 내 다른 해외자료들은 영문 그 자체로 참고문헌에 수록하였지만 세계보건기구 보고서는 한글로 번역하였고, 그 이유는 아마도 보고서 제목의 "deadly"가 부담스러웠던 것으로 해석된다. 또한 국민건강보험공단 소송 이전에 제기되었던 개인소송 중 담배회사가 법원에 제출한 증거자료의 일부를 분석한 결과 담배회사의 컨설턴트로 활동한 과학자의 연구결과를 증거자료로 제출한 것도 확인할 수 있었다. 국내 담배소송에서도 해외사례와 마찬가지로 담배회사의 소송전략은 유사했다. 담배소송 결과는 담배규제정책에 막대한 영향을 미친다. 성공적인 소송을 위해 보건의료분야 전문가들은 담배회사가 제출하는 방대한 분량의 의견서와 증거자료에 대한 적극적인 관심을 가져야 한다. 또한 담배회사의 과학자 포섭활동을 인지하고 세계보건기구 담배규제기본협약(Framework Convention on Tobacco Control) 제5조3항의 권고사항처럼 담배업계와의 협력을 거절해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 환경분쟁에서 주민과 기업이 각각 자신의 대리인과 조건부로 계약을 하는 대리인 모형을 설정하고, 비대칭배상 제도의 효과를 분석한다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 비대칭배상은 주민의 기대잉여를 증가시켜 환경분쟁의 빈도를 높인다. (2) 비대칭배상은 법정에서의 기대차액을 감소시켜 합리적인 분쟁당사자의 화해가능성을 높인다. (3) 이러한 화해는 총법정노력을 감소시킴으로써 사회적 비용이 감소한다. (4) 분쟁이 화해에 이르지 않고 법정소송으로 귀결되는 경우, 대리인들의 총법정노력이 증가한다. 이 경우에는 Tullock (1967, 1980)이 제시한 지대낭비의 관점에서 사회적 비용이 증가하게 된다.

Recently there are many cases on the intellectual property dispute. Among them some cases are solved through mediation and arbitration. Mediation and arbitration hold some advantage over court proceeding for intellectual property dispute. However the traditional litigation system has material limitation to settle down international intellectual property dispute. Without arbitration, litigation in court would be the only choice in case of no consensual settlement between the disputing parties. However, once being aware of the usefulness of the arbitration, people in international business widely realize that arbitration is generally preferred to litigation. Mediation is a method of settling dispute outside of court setting and many mediation committee are established since 1986 in Korea. Arbitrability has been a crucial issue in the intellectual property dispute. In most developed countries including the U.S.A. and Switzerland, arbitrability in the intellectual property dispute has been changed in recent years by law. Now in resolving the dispute with international intellectual property is needed for legal research, experience, working practices and knowledge of the intellectual property industry and so on.

Mediation is one of several alternatives to litigation or arbitration. It is the most informal of the alternatives and the only one that gives the parties control over the outcome. The mediator in mediation is there to help the parties persuade each other that it is in their best interests to settle. As several advantages of mediation, it is considered as the fastest way to resolve a dispute because procedures associated with litigation are not imported into the process. In mediation, the client's resources are focused on resolving the dispute as opposed to building armaments of evidence to buttress legal and factual positions. The AAA commercial mediation rules and operations in the USA are very successful owing to professional training for mediators and simple procedures for mediation to the public. Comparison with USA mediation, KCAB mediation system has several weak points. KCAB mainly deals with administrative matters related to Foreign Trade Law. Therefore, it is necessary for KCAB to come up with more improved international commercial mediation. For example, mediation should be promoted to the public as who easily rely on litigation or arbitration. Second, Setting a rule for easy access to mediation is needed by bench marking AAA's mediation guidelines and operations. Third, professional mediators should be developed by establishing relevant ADR course in law schools. This article investigated some differences of mediation system between KCAB in Korea and AAA in USA, and present some suggestions in order to promote International commercial mediation in KCAB.

ADR has recently been expanded, making it possible to solve traffic accident disputes, which is a matter of urgency for parties to avoid. This point serves as an important procedural element. Such disputes are an area that requires a quick resolution. To try to solve any dispute that occurs in the complex environment of modern times one-by-one through litigation does not make sense. It gives an undue burden on the judicial body and the investigation agency. Like litigation, today's arbitration system, should have effective conflict resolution. The arbitration of automobile traffic accident disputes can be seen as roughly adjusted through the insurance company, the Dispute Coordinating Committee, and the Crime Victims Protection Act. It consists of experts mainly, and the resolution of automobile traffic accident disputes can be resolved through the Sajonsa and workers insurance company. However, adjustments to failure incident mostly need attention. Most of a company's compensation insurance indemnity needs to be processed in practice. In addition, a vicious cycle of litigation and delay period is repeated if a lawyer is appointed. There are unreasonable adjustment systems in the midst of these. Avoiding traffic accidents allows parties to resolve disputes better. Arbitration of disputes in automobile traffic accidents handled by arbitration institutions is desirable. It is determined that the handling of a case by a village attorney is efficient.

This paper analyzes how injunctions relate to patent hold-up problems. To this end, we present a simple model of licensing negotiations between a patent holder and a downstream firm in the shadow of litigation. More specifically, we consider the situation in which an injunction is granted as a matter of course if a patent is found valid and infringed upon in litigation, but the patent holder may be under-compensated due to aspects of the patent remedy system other than injunctions. We show that if the downstream user is unaware of the patent before any investment in initially designing its product, the patent hold-up problems created by injunction threats are worrisome when (i) the redesign process is costly, (ii) the degree of patent protection (by aspects of the patent remedy system other than injunctions) is sufficiently strong and (iii) the injunction is requested not to practice the patented technology exclusively but to collect excessive patent royalties. Even if the downstream user is aware of the patent before the initial investment, the patent hold-up problems do not disappear. The findings here imply that a discretionary approach is required towards denying injunctions against patent infringement. If the degree of patent protection is not sufficiently strong, denying injunctions can exacerbate the under-compensation problem. However, once patent protection improves enough (not necessarily perfectly), we may see a surge of patent hold-up problems, and it would be better to apply alternative patent remedies in place of injunctions when necessary. Lastly, we discuss several possible alternatives to injunctions and their pros and cons.

Smart Car market has been experiencing continuous growth to drive leading companies in automotive and IT industries to focus on advancing related technologies. As the IT technologies fuse into automotive technologies, the patent litigation has been showing changes. One of the prominent changes in patent litigation pattern of Smart Car field is the increased activities of the Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs), whose main field has been the IT area. However, the automotive companies have been mainly focusing on preventing patent disputes against competitors through trend analysis, which caused them to become relatively vulnerable to the attacks from NPEs. In this study, we developed a methodology for monitoring and analyzing the activities of NPEs using network analysis tools to suggest effective strategies for manufacturing companies to fortify their ability to respond against unanticipated attacks. Our methodology, which is developed for the Smart Car field, can also be useful for other fields such as IT and electronics.
