Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal shall be borne by a claimant.

Reasons

The ground of appeal by claimant's representative is examined.

According to the reasoning of the original decision, the court below stated the composition of the original trademark in the shape of "profesta" in front, and applied for a combined trademark of Class 39 video tape or video tape presses and two kinds other than the registered trademark (registration number omitted) as designated goods on July 19, 1980, but the "profes" indicated on the upper part of the original trademark belongs to 1 alphae and indicated at the bottom of the original trademark is merely an English name, and it is nothing more than an indication of the "profes" in the original trademark in the shape of "profesta", and it is not a simple interpretation of the trademark registration number of the original trademark, and it is nothing more than an interpretation of the original trademark, which is merely a simple and common mark of the criteria for the examination of the trademark of the original trademark, and it is nothing more than an interpretation of the original trademark that does not constitute a simple interpretation of the trademark registration number of the original trademark, even if it is not clear that the trademark falls under the category 1 of the original trademark widely known in the Republic of Korea.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of the appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
