So SOBENU existed before SBENU and also made shoes? how was this not a red flag straight away? I dunno Korean law, but in the US UK and Australia, if i tried to launch a company called NIKEY who sold shoes, the government would be telling me i need a new name before Nike even noticed... Doesn't seem to be true that SOBENU existed before SBENU. And even if so, why SOBENU started to talk publicly about the copied name and logo only now? Also wikipedia page has a description of how SBENU brand name was formed (info from SBENU website). SBENU took S for Shoes and combined it with the ancient Egyptian deity Bennu, which is thought to be the inspiration for the Phoenix in Greek mythology.[2] This is supposed to hold in the meaning that these shoes will be immortal. SBENU shoes are very famous for concealing their high insoles that help increase height. Regardless of whether or not Sobenu complained about it, or how genuine and original Sonic's idea of Sbenu was, he probably did think of the name, he can't get the trademark because the names are too similiar. I can't think of a good example, but it's back in the day and the next town over started the first McDonalds. You don't know that, but you start going into your own restaurant business, it can be a burger, hot dog stand, or a seafood restaurant. It doesn't matter. And Let's say YOUR name is MacDonald. You come up with the name MacDonald because its your own goddam name, and you should be able to use it? But wait, McDonald's was already granted a trademark for using that name for restaurants. So even if you show the work, on how you got the name MacDonald's for your restaurant. Ultimately, they're going to reject your claim because it's too similar to an existing trademark. The irony is that this happened in real life, except McDonald's lost. http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19960816&slug=2344437
Maybe it was a shit example, rofl. God Bless, I feel like everytime I make an analogy, a simile, a parable, a metaphor, it ALWAYS backfires!
But I think this is incredibly different, in that it's not family names, it's fashion trademarks. And yeah, even if it was related, at the end of the day, a fashion company without a trademark is COMPLETELY worthless. You can make an exact same material, design, aesthetic, packaging, as a Nike or a Rebok or whatever, but it's the Swoosh/symbols that allow fashion companies to stop you.

So that's supposedly $7.1 mil out of 30mil, where's the rest?
EDIT: he basically said haiki (middleman) stole $7.1 mil and that sbenu only owes 2.7 mil. The factories however claim he owes ~30 million.

If middleman tried to appropriate money, there`s no reason not to paying manufactures, because keep defalcating is more profitable.
