C. On October 16, 2014, the examiner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office rendered a decision to refuse the registration of the applied trademark of this case on the ground that “the trademark of this case is similar to the trademark of this case in comparison with the prior registered trademark and the designated goods fall under Article 7(1)7 of the Trademark Act, and thus cannot obtain trademark registration.” (2) The Plaintiff requested the Intellectual Property Tribunal to seek revocation of the said decision of refusal.

After examining the above case of appeal as 2014 won7070, the Korean Intellectual Property Trial and Appeal Board held on July 2, 2015, where the trademark of this case is named as “common” and the prior registered trademark is named as “enmonmon” on July 2, 2015, both trademarks are similar as “enmonmon”.

Although the trademark applied in this case is different in terms of appearance and concept in comparison with the prior registered trademark, the two marks are similar in terms of name.
