The Japanese characters in this mark transliterate to The two calligraphic Japanese kanji characters exist by themselves in the Japanese language, but are not used together as they are in this mark. Their combination was invented by Korin and its agents for use as a trademark, because when the characters are spoken together, they sound like the word "KORIN", the arbitrary name that was invented by Korin for use as a trademark in connection with the knives and company name (see Korin's separate trademark of "KORIN", serial number 88240730). The mark has no use as a word or proper name in Japanese or English, other than the use as a trademark for which it was invented. Accordingly, it has no significance in the relevant trade or industry, or as applied to the goods listed in the application, and no geographical significance. Rather, it is a totally arbitrary designation with no actual significance in the relevant trade or industry outside its use as a trademark for the goods listed in this application and this has no meaning in a foreign language.
