MBK Entertainment's trademark application for the group name T-ara gets refused

T-ara
The Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS) refused the T-ara trademark application from MBK Entertainment.�

Back in January, it was revealed that MBK Entertainment filed for the trademark rights of the group name T-ara prior to their disbandment. The agency's CEO Kim Kwang Soo�claimed in an interview that the members of T-ara cannot hold the rights to the group name.�

However, on June 27, KIPRIS announced MBK Entertainment's trademark application has been refused. According to KIPRIS, "trademark that consists of the name, title, portrait, signature, seal/stamp, literary name, pen name, stage name, of a prominent person cannot be registered," under the Trademark Act. It's additionally stated that the application can only be approved with the group members' agreement.�

The final verdict on the application will be made after further examination.�
