Topics: "Author of a Remake Recognized as the Copyright Holder of the Remake", "Licensing Dispute Cases in and Outside of Korea That Involve Films"

Films and series are often based on original screenplays, but they’re also frequently adapted from original works such as webtoons, web novels, and literary pieces through publication rights contracts.The importance of original works continues to grow, with rising expectations and interest each year. Consequently, demand for copyright contracts from original authors is also increasing significantly. This seminar will take a look at the legal issues these contracts present, explore reasonable solutions, and provide insights into the future from a lawyer’s perspective.

* This seminar is co-hosted by BIFF, Asian Contents & Film Market and KOREA ENTERTAINMENT LAW SOCIETY.
