  • Korean Traditional Food: Status, Prospects and Vision for Globalization
    KOREAN TRADITIONAL FOOD: STATUS, PROSPECTS AND VISION FOR GLOBALIZATION Dong-Hwa Shin Faculty of Biotechnology Chonbuk National University 664-14 Dukjin-Dong, Jeonju 561-756 Korea ABSTRACT This Bulletin describes the unique properties and diversity of Korean traditional food, as well as some prospects and directions for its future development as an industry. Traditional foods are prepared with the use of ingredients unique to a particular area and people. They are considered as historic food, and are transferred from generation to generation with some local variations. Korean traditional food can be classified based on the ingredients used: rice products as staple food, beverages, vegetables, fish, and fruits. Traditional foods using meat are very limited. Other classifications are based on production methods, such as steamed foods (almost all of the grain products), puffed foods, brined foods, and fermented foods. Traditional foods are used more as seasonal and banquet food or for religious ceremonies rather than as staple food, but it has become popular as a delicacy food in recent years. Korean traditional foods have not been given enough attention for a long time, but recent domestic consumption has gradually increased in view of people’s recognition and consciousness of such products as health foods. The food culture of Korea has also caught the interest of other countries through the export of traditional food. Traditional food has been developed on the basis of unique techniques from each country, and efforts to export them are now expanding. Hence, it is now considered a competitive product, what with its unique materials and production techniques.

  • Trade Marks Inter Partes Decision O/327/19
    O-327-19 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION NO. 3281046 BY EVANS GROUP HOLDING COMPANY LIMITED TO REGISTER THE TRADE MARK: Lord Nelson FOR GOODS AND SERVICES IN CLASSES 32 and 33 AND IN THE MATTER OF OPPOSITION TO ITS REGISTRATION UNDER NO. 412571 BY HEAVEN HILL DISTILLERIES, INC. Background and pleadings 1) On 8 January 2018 Clare Joanne Evans applied to register the following trade mark for goods and services in Classes 32 and 33: Lord Nelson The application was published for opposition purposes on 2 February 2018. During the course of these proceedings an amendment to the specification in Class 32 was accepted, so that the specification of the opposed mark in Classes 32 and 33 now stands as shown in the Annex to this decision. 2) The application is opposed by Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. (“the Opponent”). The opposition, which is directed against all the goods applied for, is based upon section 5(2)(b) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (“the Act”), for the purposes of which the Opponent relies upon the following EU trade mark registrations for the following respective marks and goods: EU 16756652 ADMIRAL NELSON’S Class 33: Spirits; rum. EU 14329254 2 Class 33: Spirits; rum. 3) EU 16756652 was filed on 22 May 2017 and registered on 5 September 2017. EU 14329254 was filed on 02 July 2015 and registered on 15 October 2015. The significance of these respective dates is that (1) both the Opponent’s marks constitute earlier marks in accordance with section 6 of the Act, and (2) they are not subject to the proof of use conditions contained in section 6A of the Act, their respective registration procedures having been completed less than five years before the publication of the Applicant’s mark.

  • The Rise of Soju 燒酒: the Transfer of Distillation Technology from “China” to Korea During the Mongol Period (1206–1368)*
    The Rise of Soju 燒酒: The Transfer of Distillation Technology from “China” to Korea during the Mongol Period (1206–1368)* Hyunhee PARK 朴賢熙** Introduction Since 2012, Paul Buell has examined the key role that the Mongols played, dur- ing the age of their massive empire (early 13th to late 14th century), in improv- ing on a pre-existing Chinese technology through producing an easily portable apparatus for distillation. He argues that the Mongols, at a key early stage in the history of globalization, did two important things: not only did they dissemi- nate this improved technology widely, but they also created an environment in which a variety of cultures could produce their own distilled liquors using local ingredients.1 I adopted this theme in turn and applied it to Korea, in order to * I was able to finalize this paper thanks to the support of the CUNY John Jay sabbatical leave fellowship, PSC-CUNY 46 grant, a Eurasia Pacific Uninet grant, and the SNU Central Eura- sian Studies Institute.

  • 1 the ROLE of ALCOHOL in BUSINESS NEGOTIATIONS in EAST ASIA Martha Hunter
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UT Digital Repository THE ROLE OF ALCOHOL IN BUSINESS NEGOTIATIONS IN EAST ASIA Martha Hunter Albritton TC660 H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin Dr. Chien-hsin Tsai Asian Studies Supervising Professor Dr. Deirdre Mendez Marketing Second Reader 1 ABSTRACT Author: Martha Hunter Albritton Title: The Role of Alcohol in Business Negotiations in East Asia Supervising Professors: Dr. Chien-Hsin Tsai, Dr. Deirdre Mendez In the absence of a legal structure that legitimizes contracts, loose, flexible written or verbal agreements between two parties who share a social bond are the common in East Asia. Modern alcohol use in the region is heavily colored by the lasting influence of Confucianism. The forming of social bonds that are developed within rigid hierarchies in the family, the workplace, and really all facets of daily life, are based on respect of filial piety—honoring one’s “superiors” in relationships. Today, alcohol’s ancient use as a tool for expressing respect, facilitating social interactions, and maintaining relationships remains intact in social structures in East Asia—especially in business. The rigid social rules, hierarchal structure, and collectivist culture in the three countries create social barriers in which rigid behavioral rules restrict interactions between employees in different hierarchal positions. These rules are broken down after work at office wide drinking parties in order to achieve the group harmony that is considered necessary to the function of business. I sought to examine the specific functions that alcohol plays in each of the three countries in order to evaluate the necessity of participation.
