Masan attorney | Defends a client for violation of the Trademark Act and successfully prevents imprisonment

The Masan attorney examined exactly what unlawful conduct the client had committed under the Trademark Act and what punishment he would face.

Trademark Act Article 230 (Infringement Offense)

A person who has committed an act of infringing a trademark right or exclusive license shall be punished by imprisonment with labor for not more than 7 years or by a fine not exceeding 100 million won.

Under Article 230 of the Trademark Act, the client could be subject to imprisonment with labor for not more than 7 years or a fine not exceeding 100 million won.

The client had been defrauded by a business partner. Afterward, having no particular source of income, the client barely covered living expenses and the like with income earned by working odd day-labor jobs from time to time.

As time passed, he found himself in very difficult economic circumstances, and in order to make up for insufficient living expenses he came to purchase bonded goods at the market and sell them with a markup added, thereby committing the offense in this case.

The client is, with his income alone, effectively responsible for the livelihood of a five-person household, supporting not only his wife and children but also his elderly parents.

Immediately after this case, the client succeeded in finding employment and is working more diligently than anyone to support his family.

There is no risk whatsoever that the client will repeat a wrong such as the one in this case.

Since the client personally visited the market and purchased the goods entirely with cash payments to sell them, the actual profit the client earned can be regarded as comparatively small.

Immediately after this case, the client closed the online shopping mall and actively cooperated with the investigation.

In addition, whatever the reasons may have been, he is deeply repenting and reflecting on his wrongdoing and is firmly resolved never to commit an unlawful act again.
