Grounds for sentencing
The crime of this case is detrimental to the sound distribution order of agricultural products, and it is very poor in the quality of the crime. In particular, the Defendant’s sales of the Defendant is a specialized brand for school meal services, and even if the Defendant committed the crime, the domestic and foreign grain was boomed in the school meal boomcheon, and the Defendant could not be aware of it. Although the Defendant had been punished for committing the same offense as in this case while running the business with the trade name of “▽ Food,” he then changed the trade name to “△△△△△△” and subsequently committed a second offense while running the business. In this case, in order to encourage consumers to believe that the agricultural products sold by the Defendant are domestically in Korea, the Criminal Act is very poor in that it manufactured and used the packaging boxes indicated by the Defendant’s registered trademark, thereby committing the act of infringement of trademark rights. In this respect, the Defendant’s punishment may not be strictly held liable for the Defendant by sentenceing the Defendant, taking into account the following circumstances: the Defendant’s age, age, and condition of the criminal act.
