STATEMENT OF IPOPHL ON TAPE’S EAT BULAGA RENEWAL

August 22, 2023

On queries from various quarters about the renewal of the EAT BULAGA trademark of Television and Production Exponents, Inc., IPOPHL confirms the approval on June 14, 2023 of the request to extend the term of registration over EAT BULAGA AND EB covered by TM Reg. No. 42011005951, for Nice Classes 16, 18, 21 and 25 for another 10 years.

The renewal process strictly observes an ex-parte nature prescribed by Republic Act 8293 or the Intellectual Property Code. Under the law, requests for renewal should be granted primarily if the registrant can prove the actual and continuous use of the mark.

Moreover, as the renewal requests and other pending applications at the Bureau of Trademark (BOT) are separate from the trademark cancellation case at the Bureau of Legal Affairs (BLA), they do not affect the BLA’s disposition of the merits of the trademark cancellation case.
