SMEs have difficulty in responding to technical disputes due to lengthy litigation procedures and costs. In this regard, it is more effective to settle disputes through “ADR” rather than court action. Korea has an ADR system in the Industrial Technology Protection Act(ITPA), SMEs Technology Protection Act(STPA), and the Invention Promotion Act(IPA). However, there are problems of underutilization of ADR, effectiveness, and administration of the institutional system. To increase the utilization of the ADR system, It should expand the subject of dispute. Besides, the introduction of the ODR should be reviewed. Above all, it is essential to raise awareness through PR to SMEs. To increase the effectiveness of ADR, the following improvements are needed. ITPA and STPA should amended investigation can be conducted to confirm the facts of the dispute. In the case of ITPA and IPA, a review of the introduction of the “arbitration system” is required. The U.S. provides for arbitration in the Patent Act, and Japan established JIPAC and IACT. In addition to the administrative ADR, a review of the court-annexed ADR system is also needed to expand the options for various dispute resolution as U.S. court-annexed ADR system, EU, China, and Japan.
