The defendant claimed that the same evidence of use may not support two trademarks. However, there were no legal provision to support this claim. Multiple trademarks are often tagged on single merchandise in modern trade practices. This means that multiple trademarks may have the same evidence of use.

If two trademarks may not share the same evidence of use, that would raise additional limitations, not based on law, on trademark rights. Furthermore, the cancellation of a trademark will depend on whether the evidence has been used in prior cases rather than on the fact that the trademark has been actually used.

As a result, the defendant’s claim is inconsistent with the main purpose of the trademark system. Thus, the defendant’s claim above is unacceptable.
