ㅡ Kang Daniel’s lawyer

We are not able to submit a trademark application in relation to Kang Daniel at the moment. This is because all of his entertainment activities have been suspended due to our dispute with Kang Daniel. ‘A’ is not a person from our side. We do not have any clue who this person is.

ㅡ LM Entertainment

 

“A” applied for 2 trademarks: class 9 (software for virtual reality games, conversational video game programs, online game programs, etc.) and class 41 (performance event business, entertainment variety service, performance planning consultation, etc.)

 

Meanwhile, Kang Daniel’s dispute with LM Entertainment is still ongoing with the interrogation date for the injunction filed by Kang Daniel having been delayed.
