The banner contains contents that can reduce the market price and reputation of the apartment of this case, such as the fact that it was constructed as a material containing carcides, and there was a considerable period of time until the conclusion is obtained by filing a civil lawsuit for the removal of banner. On the contrary, bad question about the apartment of this case will spread to the inserted time. As such, the defendant's act of removing the banner in order to protect the reputation of the apartment of this case and the property value of the resident, has the balance between the legitimacy of motive and purpose, the reasonableness of means or methods, the protection interest and the infringement interest.
