On the 19th, Kakao VX (CEO Tae-sik Moon) announced that it had won the appeal decision on the patent infringement litigation filed by Golfzon.
In the afternoon of January 15, the Patent Court overturned the ruling of the first trial in the appeal of a claim lawsuit against Kakao VX by Golfzon on the afternoon of January 15, and raised the hand of Kakao VX. The court judged that Kakao VX could not be considered to infringe the golf zone’s patent right because it did not fall within the scope of the golf zone patent.
Golfzone filed a patent infringement lawsuit in 2016, claiming that Kakao VX’s golf simulator infringed on Golfzone’s patented technology. According to the judgment of the second trial court, it has been proven that Kakao VX has not infringed the patent of Golf Zone, and plans to expand the business through the technology development of’Friends Screen’ in the future.
“Kakao VX is a latecomer in the industry and has put a long time and effort to provide innovative technologies and services,” said Moon Tae-sik, CEO of Kakao VX. “This ruling proves the technical capabilities of Kakao VX’s screen golf service.” .
On the other hand, Kakao VX strengthens brand competitiveness through’Friends Screen’, which has changed the representative screen golf brands’Tee-up Vision 2′,’T-Up Vision’, and’G-Swing’ to one name. It is expanding its presence.
