The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of Hana Bank, Korea’s fourth-largest bank, in a trademark dispute originally brought by a California company with a similar name.

In its Nov. 22 decision, the court said it agreed with a previous federal jury verdict that Hana Bank’s name and logo were used commercially in the United States prior to that of Los Angeles-based Hana Financial Inc. (HFI).
