Article 6(1)3 and 4 of the Trademark Act provides that “The Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal shall file a petition with the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal for an appeal against the foregoing decision of refusal, and the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal shall examine the petition for appeal to the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal.” On April 1, 2013, the registered service mark of this case falls under Article 6(1)3 and 4 of the Trademark Act, but the registered service mark acquired distinctiveness by the use of Article 6(2) of the Trademark Act.

The designated service business in this case is collectively referred to as the “designated service business”. The designated service business in this case is referred to as the “a cafeteria business, etc. using the Dodo Do Hado Do Hado Do Do Do Do Do Do Do naco.” (Evidence 2). The Plaintiffs are recognized as having used the registered service mark in this case against the Defendant, who is the holder of the registered service mark in this case, and the registered service mark in this case constitutes the “registered service business” under Article 16(1)4(1)6(1) of the former Trademark Act and Article 16(2)15(1) of the former Trademark Act.
