The Seoul High Court ruled in favor of LG Display, stating that a Japanese ex-employee of LG Display, Danaka Sakashi, must transfer the rights to patents registered under his name to LG Display.
Mr. Sakashi served as a technical adviser to LG Display from 1991 to 1998. He registered a patent under his name based on the technology and knowledge he acquired during his employment at LG Display.
LG Display ruled that their technology has been emanated through Mr. Sakashi¡¯s patent registration and filed suit against Mr. Sakashi in 2006.
An LG Display spokesperson stated that the ruling was a fair decision, protecting the intellectual property of a corporation.
