Legal Q&A

I need an administrative appeal against a business suspension.

I run a restaurant, and I recently received a business suspension disposition for a violation. Since my shop has not violated any law, I feel very wronged right now. I am curious whether, if I file an administrative appeal against the business suspension, the disposition can be canceled or reduced, and how I should proceed. Please tell me about the procedure and method for filing an administrative appeal.

Patent attorney, how long does the term of a patent right last?

Our company holds a patent, and it is approaching 10 years since we received the decision to grant it. However, I only recently learned that the effect of a patent right is subject to a term of duration. I also heard that the term of a patent right can be extended. If a patent attorney is available, could you explain the term of a patent right in detail?

Military disciplinary action attorney, among military disciplinary actions, is the confinement (yeongchang) system still in effect?

I am curious whether the confinement system is still in effect. I heard that in the past it was used as a military disciplinary action and was a system in which soldiers were locked up in confinement. However, there is also talk that it was recently abolished, so I am confused. Military disciplinary action attorney, please answer whether other methods are being used for military discipline or punishment, or whether the confinement system still remains.

Attorney, please tell me about the types and methods of drug testing.

How is drug testing usually conducted? From the news, I hear that testing is done using urine or hair... I am not sure exactly what types exist and how each one differs. I am also curious about when the results usually come out after testing... Could an attorney who is well versed in drug cases answer this?

Anyang industrial accident attorney, I would appreciate your answer.

This time, the company laid off many employees, saying it would shut down due to worsening management. I was saddened that a company I had worked at for a long time was closing, and then I received notice that I was one of those to be laid off. What am I to do now? What about my family, who depend only on me? Anyang industrial accident attorney, please tell me the requirements for unfair dismissal and the methods of remedy.

Can non-regular and daily-wage workers also be covered by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act?

At the worksite, they said there was no need for safety devices, so I just worked up high, and due to a fall accident my shoulder was fractured and my leg was diagnosed as disabled, so I have ended up in a situation where I must rest at home. So I asked them to cover the medical expenses, consolation money, and industrial accident compensation, but instead the work foreman got angry and told me not to say ridiculous things. I understand that taking care of an injured person is a matter of course under the law. Would it be possible now to bring a lawsuit, with an industrial accident attorney, for a violation of the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act regarding a daily-wage worker's industrial accident?

What should I be careful about when reviewing contracts while drafting employment rules?

As my company has grown, I had a contract review related to employment carried out and belatedly realized that drafting employment rules is necessary. However, employment rules are not something the employer decides and writes alone. Could you tell me what I should be mindful of when creating or amending employment rules?

In military assault, is the level of punishment different for assaulting a superior and assaulting a sentry?

I am asking because I do not know much about the military or the law. In the context of military assault, I have heard the terms assault of a superior and assault of a sentry, but I am not sure what the difference between the two is. The act of assault is the same, so I am curious whether there is a difference in how the two are punished or in the sentence. I would appreciate a detailed explanation. Thank you!

Attorney specializing in inheritance, my father said during his lifetime that he would leave his property only to my older brother, so does that mean I cannot receive any inheritance if there is no will?

Hello, attorney specializing in inheritance. My father always said during his lifetime that he would leave his property only to my older brother. But when my father actually passed away, he did not leave any particular will. I am curious whether what he said during his lifetime is legally valid.
