This article is devoted to review and clarify some legal sentences and terms in Korean Intellectual Property Acts including Copyright, Trademark and Patent. It is possible to understand what his or her rights and duties are clearly, when he or she reads Korean Acts by recognizing that the legal expressions are in keeping with the Korean Grammar and correct. And it is reasonable and rightful that the Koreans could understand the same legal object in the same meaning by the reading the Korean legal sentences or words. Some legal expressions in the field of Intellectual Property Acts are grammatically incorrect and do not match to other legal terms of property law, in my opinion, and that reason has been caused by the indirect influences of Japanese Grammar. The phrase ‘general succession’ in Korean Intellectual Property Acts is a typical example. I believe that the one of the academic duties left to the Korean Intellectual Scholars and Practitioners is to fully consider the unnatural legal expressions and make Koreans understand the meaning of legal sentences and their rights easily.
