Kakao VX Wins Appeal in Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Golfzon

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kakao VX announced on the 19th that it won the appeal trial in the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Golfzon.

On the 15th, the Patent Court overturned the first trial ruling in the appeal trial of the patent infringement injunction lawsuit filed by Golfzon against Kakao VX and ruled in favor of Kakao VX.

The court judged that Kakao VX does not fall within the scope of Golfzon's patent rights and therefore cannot be considered to have infringed Golfzon's patent rights.

Previously, in 2016, Golfzon filed a patent infringement lawsuit claiming that Kakao VX's golf simulator infringed Golfzon's patented technology.

With the proof that Kakao VX did not infringe Golfzon's patent, Kakao VX stated that it plans to expand its business through the development of technology for 'Friends Screen'.

Moon Tae-sik, CEO of Kakao VX, said, "As a latecomer in the industry, we have devoted a long time and effort to provide innovative technology and services," adding, "This ruling proves the technological capability of Kakao VX's screen golf service."

Meanwhile, Kakao VX is expanding its presence in the domestic screen golf market through 'Friends Screen', which unifies the representative screen golf brands 'T-up Vision 2', 'T-up Vision', and 'G-Swing' under one name.
