2. The parties' assertion

A. Plaintiff 1) The Plaintiff’s service mark and the Defendant’s Defendant’s mark are similar to the appearance of the same person in English scrap metal “TIMF SALE”, and the name is also identical to “TIMF SALE”, and both are generally related to shopping, thereby recognizing similarity of concepts. Both are likely to cause mistake and confusion as to the source of trade service. Accordingly, the Defendant’s use of the Defendant’s mark constitutes an infringement of the right to use the service mark, and thus, the Defendant sought prohibition of infringement of the right to use the service mark, such as the written claim against the Defendant.

B. Defendant 1) The Defendant did not use the Defendant’s mark for the purpose of indicating the source of service business. 2) The Plaintiff’s service mark falls under Article 51(1)2 of the Trademark Act and thus does not have the effect of the right to use the service mark.

3. Determination

A. According to the facts as to whether the Defendant’s use of the Defendant’s mark constitutes the use of the service mark, the Defendant’s Defendant’s use of the mark is used.
