Daeryun Law Firm, MOU with Human Works… “Strengthening global IP protection and legal advice”

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 4th that it signed an MOU with Humanworks, a leading digital content and e-commerce company, to provide corporate legal advice and strengthen global capabilities.

The agreement ceremony held at the headquarters of Human Works Co., Ltd. on the 27th of last month was attended by key officials from both companies, including CEO Daeryun Kim Kuk-il, lawyers Kim Min-soo and Jeong Hong-cheol, Human Works CEO Park Min-gyu, general manager Kim Hyung-kwang, and team leader Kim Hyun-gu.
 

Established in 2006, Humanworks is an IT company that supplies its high-quality HTML5 games to global big tech platforms such as Samsung, MSN, and Facebook. In addition, it is leading domestic technology trends by operating IT specialized shopping mall ‘App Story Mall’, smart small home appliance brand FIX, and membership ticket reservation platform Casting.

Through this agreement, the two companies plan to preemptively prevent copyright disputes that may arise in overseas markets and strongly protect their core IP in line with the global expansion of Humanworks' HTML5-based gamification business.

Specific details of cooperation include △review of multinational platform publishing contracts and establishment of customized IP protection strategies for each country, △consulting on game content rating classification and response to IT-related regulations, △customized legal advice for all business areas, including data compliance related to the newly established AX (AI Transformation) Research Institute, and △support for legal consulting services for executives and employees.

Park Min-gyu, CEO of Humanworks, said, “Domestic IT companies often face unexpected IP disputes or local regulations in the process of expanding into the global market,” and added, “Based on the legal system of large law firms and global networks such as New York, we expect that this will be a great help to Humanworks’ sustainable growth.”

CEO of Daeryun Kim Kook-il said, “We are happy to be a reliable legal partner of Humanworks, which is achieving remarkable results on the global stage. We will mobilize our IP specialist group and global legal capabilities to overcome the regulatory wall faced by IT companies and build a stable legal environment where executives and employees can focus only on their work.”

Meanwhile, Daeryun is accelerating the expansion of cross-border legal services connecting domestically and internationally by opening an office in New York, USA last year and solidifying its collaboration system with local patent law firms, and plans to further strengthen its expertise in the IT and content fields through this agreement.
