A goldfish that jumped from a bowl to jump into the sea of painting. A tragedy after a few seconds can be predicted.

Gross Domestic Product is a renovated place that was originally a carpet store, but you can only view the display from outside without entering the store. Furniture and interior accessories will be sold from an online shop that will be released soon.

Banksy opened the store not for art but for the “trademark” battle. A greeting card company is in a trademark dispute with Banksy, and if Banksy loses, the greeting card company will be able to sell “fake Banksy products”.

According to Mark Stephens, a lawyer who is well-versed in art litigation, “Banksy is in a very difficult position. He doesn't sell goods. If the trademark owner doesn't use the mark, the person who uses it The mark may be transferred to '. In other words, Banksy has to open a Gross Domestic Product because it needs to actually open a store and sell the product in order to maintain the trademark. Banksy says he will use the proceeds from the sale of the product to purchase a boat for migrant rescue.
