1. The community service order under Article 62-2 of the Criminal Act;

1. Reasons for sentencing under Article 236(1) of the Trademark Act;

The basic area (referring to 10 months to 2 years) of the act of infringing on registration guidelines (referring to the scope of a recommended punishment) (referring to the case where the actual damage is insignificant (referring to the person subject to special sentencing) and the previous convictions of not less than three times;

2. Goods handled by the Defendant for a sentence are forged by forging a famous trademark widely known domestically and overseas, thereby undermining the business reputation of the owner of the trademark right and disturbing market order by distributing related goods.

Moreover, the defendant has already been punished three times for the same crime.
