"The copyright of Dark and Darker has been fully recognized, and the legal restrictions that have hung over us are coming off. This ruling closes the final chapter of a long and difficult legal journey, and it means Dark and Darker can move forward with full legal certainty, no copyright concerns, no threat of service suspension."
"Ironmace stated it never used stolen Nexon assets or code to create its game. A court ruled Ironmace did infringe on Nexon trade secrets when Ironmace CEO Choi Ju-hyun stored Nexon data on a personal server before establishing the independent studio."
Ironmace announced that development of Dark and Darker can proceed with full legal certainty following a South Korean Supreme Court ruling. The court upheld a previous ruling that found Ironmace guilty of infringing on Nexon trade secrets but not guilty of copyright infringement. Ironmace was ordered to pay damages, which were reduced on appeal. The Supreme Court's decision removes legal restrictions, allowing the game to move forward without concerns of copyright issues or service suspension.
