온라인게임프로그램의 통합퍼블리싱계약에 관한 법리

Abstract

Generally there is three types of contracts, contract for investment development, contract for publishing, license agreement, on On-line Game-program development and distribution. But as game industry to be brought up, they take shape of new type of contract, the unified publishing contract, for on-line game-program development and distribution. The unified publishing contract unify the investment development and publishing and license agreement. The publisher is charged with game development. And he get an exclusive contract with game developer on game program development project(now or future) and game program upgrade and publishing and license. There is growing tendency in a publisher-dominated game industry. So I focused that the legal nature of the unified publishing contract, is no less under-taking than partnership contract, involves the possibility of unjust and unfair. Because this contract live together with specially blanket contract and change of circumstances, necessaries is not only justice and fairness of contract but also the rationality of clausula rebus sic stantibus and principle of faithfulness and sincerity.
