재판기록 공개 관련 제도적 보완방안- 지적재산권 관련 사건의 판결서 공개를 중심으로 -

In this article, the author reviewed the current situation about the reading and disclosure of the judgment and reviewed measures to make the judgment more accessible. Although legislative policies differ across countries, it was confirmed that how the parties to the lawsuit are disclosed varies significantly from country to country. There have been constant demands for the reliability and transparency of the judiciary. The written judgment is the basis for a judge’s high-level judgment on legal issues. Nevertheless, the written judgment requires a procedure that could be more manageable to access from outside the court and takes time to use when it is urgently needed. The basis for non-real name processing, even for non-individuals, is weak, and the cost of non-real name processing is enormous, and it is too difficult to read the judgment. In cases where non-disclosure reasons based on personal information protection and trade secrets do not fall under both reasons, it is advisable to disclose the parties in consideration of the predictability of the lawsuit and the development of legal principles. The author hopes that the disclosure of judgments in Korea will be systematically improved and further promoted, referring to the current inconvenience of accessing the judgment and the disclosure status in excluded countries.
