Supreme Court of Korea

“ In conclusion, we hold the view that the trademark of this case and the conflicting trademark No.1, as a whole, are difficult to be seen as similar to each other, and it is hard to find similarities as a whole between two trademarks to the extent of finding that they trigger consumer misconception ∙ confusion as to their product origins even if we further take their appearances and concepts into consideration. ”

“ Therefore, the court below's decision is reversed, and the case is remanded for a new trial ∙ determination to the court below. It is decided as per Disposition by the assent of all Justices who heard the case. ”
