Can the Defendant in an Intellectual Property Infringement Lawsuit Request the Plaintiff to Pay Attorney Fees?

Based on Clause 10, Article 2 of the Law on Insurance Business and the amended Law on Intellectual Property 2019, the provisions are as follows:

Organizations or individuals who are defendants in a case of intellectual property infringement, if concluded by the Court not to have committed the infringement, have the right to request the Court to compel the plaintiff to pay reasonable costs for hiring a lawyer or other expenses as prescribed by law.

Therefore, if the Court concludes that the defendant did not infringe upon the plaintiff's intellectual property rights, the defendant has the right to request the Court to compel the plaintiff to pay reasonable costs for hiring a lawyer. Additionally, other reasonable costs as prescribed by law can also be requested.
