It has been found that cases of theft of similar trademarks of ‘Kimgane’, a famous domestic kimbap and snack franchise, are increasing in overseas countries such as the United States, Canada, and Thailand.
On its website, Kimgane said, “Recently, cases of stealing similar trademarks of Kimgane have been increasing in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand and Vietnam, and North America, such as the United States and Canada.” “Kimgane has never entered the region, and there are no local franchises.” It was announced.
He also said, “We hope that overseas travelers and locals will not have any problems using the service.”
In fact, there are many posts on blogs and other social media (SNS) saying that they ate Kimgane kimbap in places such as Nha Trang, Vietnam.
Kimgane is a kimbap and snack food franchise that started in Daehakro in 1992.
It is known that founder and Chairman Kim Yong-man holds more than 99% of the shares.
