B. On October 7, 2013, the Defendant asserted that the registration of the instant registered trademark should be revoked pursuant to Article 73(1)3 of the Trademark Act (No. 2013Da2689) since the instant registered trademark was not used in the Republic of Korea for at least three consecutive years without justifiable grounds against the Plaintiff on the grounds that the registered trademark of this case was not used in the Intellectual Property Tribunal for the designated goods.
On February 17, 2015, the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal rendered the instant trial ruling revoking the registration of the instant registered trademark by citing the Defendant’s request for a trial on the ground that “The fact that the instant registered trademark was used on the designated goods within three years before the date of the request for a trial is not recognized only on the basis of the name cards, carbags, contract documents, and transaction specifications submitted by the Plaintiff.”
