The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The summary of the grounds for appeal (i) Non-Function E Cosmetics (hereinafter “instant cosmetics”) was properly acquired by concluding a purchase contract with a limited liability company located in the United States (hereinafter “betting”) and thus, the Defendant, as the owner of the instant cosmetics, has a legitimate title to sell them in Korea.
She also held that the exclusive sales contract entered into with the victim F Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “F Co., Ltd.”) was null and void since it was concluded by G’s fraud, breach of trust, etc., and even if the contract was lawful, the F Co., Ltd. has exclusive sales right for functional E cosmetics, and it does not have exclusive sales right for the instant cosmetics. Thus, even if the Defendant sold the instant cosmetics, it does not interfere with the F Co., Ltd.’s business affairs.
Referencely, the expression "official importer" is used in the sense that it is a product purchased and imported directly from Vietnam, which is the manufacturer, so it cannot be viewed as false.
x) The pictures of the “Otension store” and “P Incheon store” that the F Company occupied were exposed to broadcasting were produced by using the pictures posted on its website at will by the advertising producer, and the Defendant was unaware of this fact.
2. Determination
A. In full view of the evidence duly admitted and examined by the lower court as to (i) whether the Defendant was authorized to sell the cosmetic of this case, the following facts can be acknowledged.
