Substantive requirements
(1) Positive requirement
The most important function of a trademark is to distinguish one's goods from those of another. For registration, the trademark must have a distinctive feature that enables traders and consumers to distinguish the goods from others. Article 33(1) of the Trademark Act restricts registration of a trademark under the following cases:
(2) Passive requirement (denial of registration)
Even if a trademark has distinctiveness, when it grants an exclusive license, or when it infringes public good or another person's profit, the trademark registration needs to be excluded. The denial of registration is restrictively enumerated in Article 34 of the Trademark Act.
