[Trademark] Osaka High Court, Case No. 2024 (Ne) 1885
[MAJESTY] (Presiding Judge Morisaki)
<Sale of the defendant's products manufactured by another company, as they are>
The first-instance defendant Marushu purchased them from Erimu Trading with hangtags bearing the defendant's mark attached, and that sale itself does not constitute trademark infringement.
<Sale of the defendant's products manufactured by another company with packaging boxes bearing the defendant's mark added>
Because Erimu Trading had not been granted the authority to sublicense to the first-instance defendant Marushu, this constitutes trademark infringement.
