2. Determination on the cause of the claim

A. The question of who the party to the contract for the instant goods transaction is the party involved in the contract is the interpretation of the intent of the party.

In this case where no disposal document, such as a contract, is written between the Plaintiff and the Defendants, in order to determine who is the party to the instant goods delivery contract, the objective content of the document should be examined, focusing on the data prepared in the process of performing the said delivery contract, and the objective meaning that the parties agreed to indicate should be reasonably interpreted.

As seen earlier, Defendant B was registered as the representative of “E”, and the fact that Defendant B applied for trademark (G) attached to the instant goods is identical to that of “E”.
