Solution Overview

Problem

The relaxation of creativity criteria in Korean copyright laws leads to unprotected original copyright holders and limited market access for secondary creative works, making it more convenient to use illegal copies rather than legal ones, as the system fails to effectively capitalize and protect creative works beyond pure art.

Innovation Solution

A creative work transaction service that registers and protects original and secondary creative works, allowing users to monetize partial views or motion graphics through online platforms, using object detection and motion graphics generation to increase accessibility and provide an intuitive payment interface, thereby promoting legal usage and expanding creator rights.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If creativity criteria are relaxed to protect more works including functional works, then the quantity of protected works increases, but original copyright holders are not effectively protected and secondary works lack market accessibility

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvequantity of protected worksVSAvoidprotection effectiveness for original copyright holders

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments creative works into original works and secondary works, applying different protection mechanisms to each. Original works receive copyright protection while secondary works are protected through a separate registration system that tracks their derivation from original works, allowing both to be protected without conflict

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a creative work providing server as an intermediary that manages both copyright-protected original works and registered secondary works. This server acts as a mediator that facilitates legitimate trading and usage, providing a platform where both types of works can coexist and be properly protected

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If secondary works are protected as individual works, then the quantity of protected works increases, but market accessibility remains limited because secondary works are rarely introduced or sold to the public

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvequantity of protected secondary worksVSAvoidmarket accessibility for secondary works

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The creative work providing server serves multiple functions: it protects original works through copyright, protects secondary works through registration, facilitates trading of both types of works, and provides usage licensing. This multi-functional platform makes the market for secondary works accessible by consolidating protection and distribution functions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables secondary work creators to self-register their works and directly access the market through the providing server. Creators can upload, register, and trade their secondary works without needing intermediaries like publishers or galleries, significantly improving market accessibility

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If a blockchain-based copyright protection system is implemented, then copyright verification is improved, but the system does not address the fundamental issue that relaxed creativity criteria make creativity irrelevant to scholarly or artistic value

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecopyright verification accuracyVSAvoidrelevance of creativity to scholarly or artistic value

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic protection system that adapts to different types of works. Rather than applying a single static copyright standard, the system dynamically registers and protects works based on their type (original or secondary) and their demonstrated value through usage and trading, making creativity relevant through market validation rather than rigid criteria

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics
