Wemade announced on the 12th that it had secured a final victory at the court of final appeal in a lawsuit against Actoz Soft seeking an injunction and other relief for copyright infringement regarding ‘The Legend of Mir’.
On the 11th, the Supreme Court ruled to dismiss all appeals filed by Actoz Soft. The court, pursuant to the ‘Act on Special Cases Concerning Procedures for Appeals’, found no grounds such as a serious violation of law in the lower court judgment and issued a dismissal without examining the merits. With this Supreme Court ruling, the remand judgment issued by the Seoul High Court in July 2025 was affirmed as is.
Earlier, the Seoul High Court held that the succession of copyrights in China to Jeongi IP through a physical spin-off by Wemade was lawful. It also rejected the 50% claim by Actoz Soft and ruled that, under the previous court-mediated settlement between Wemade and Actoz Soft, the appropriate royalty revenue split from the ‘The Legend of Mir 2∙3’ IP licensing business is 80% for Wemade and 20% for Actoz Soft.
With the Supreme Court dismissal of the appeal, the revenue split between the two sides in the ‘The Legend of Mir 2∙3’ IP licensing business has been finally fixed at 80% for Wemade and 20% for Actoz Soft, and the company said that all legal uncertainty surrounding Wemade in relation to The Legend of Mir 2∙3 IP has been completely resolved.
A Wemade representative said, “Through the Supreme Court final ruling, the authority of Wemade over the ‘The Legend of Mir 2∙3’ IP business and the standards for royalty allocation have been clearly established,” and added, “Now that the legal dispute has concluded, we will focus more on growing the value of the Mir IP and expanding the business through cooperation with Actoz Soft, based on a stable legal position.”
