A wholesale and retail trade is already recognized as service in foreign countries such as US, UK, and EU(OHIM), etc., which is in line with the 9th edition of NICE international classification coming into effect in 2007
However, such recognition has not been made in South Korea, especially in examination practices.
Non-recognition of a wholesale and retail trade as service under the Trademark Act prevents people from filing an application for specified service. In practices, applicants are led to file an application and register a wholesale and retail trade for specified service which is considered similar to what they want to register. And applicants are forced to endure inconveniences and disadvantages caused by this situation.
Therefore, this study focuses on the necessity to recognize a wholesale and retail trade as service under the Trademark Act, its expected effects, and problems and their suggested solutions in the case of recognition.
