The latest and most important case of copyright dispute in Taiwan Judicial practice is about the Exhaustion Doctrine. There are some discussions of Exhaustion Doctrine and introduction of the latest precedent of Federal Supreme Court and two cases of Taiwan Intellectual Property Court in this thesis. The goal of this thesis is not to affect the overcome of that case which the judgment is not still made by Taipei District Court yet.
