The defendant B, under the agreement, supplied the defendant company with the product to which the used mark was affixed and the products were displayed and sold in many shops. And, the appearance of “ ” that is the registered trademark is the identical or similar to “ ”, “ ” and “ ” that are indicated on the defendants’ products in that they both are composite trademarks that combined “24” which is an Arabic number and “HRS” which is the English abbreviation for ‘hours’ in uppercase. Also, their marks are identical or similar, because their sounds and meanings are identical in that both of them are referred to as the “24 HRS” or “twenty four hours” and deliver the meaning of “24 hours”. Also, the registered trademark sets various clothing and hats, such as jeans, mountain-climbing clothes, etc. as its designated goods. Since the defendants used their marks on their clothing and hats, the designated goods of the registered trademark are also identical to the products on which the defendants used their marks. Thus, the defendants infringed the trademark rights of the registered trademark by using the marks similar or identical to the registered trademark on clothing and hats that were the designated goods of the registered trademark.
