Prince Harry, Meghan Markle nagreklamo sa Filipino deodorant maker

Prince Harry Meghan Markle
MANILA, Philippines – Kinukwestyon ng Royal couple na sina Prince Harry at Meghan Markle ang legalidad ng trademark na ginamit ng isang may-ari ng negosyong Pilipino.
Ang Cobblestone Lane LLC, isang nilalang na kumakatawan sa Duke at Duchess of Sussex, ay gumagawa ng ligal na aksyon laban sa negosyanteng Pilipino na si Victor Martin Soriano para sa paggamit ng term na “Archewell Harvatera” – ang pangalan ng kanyang tatak na tawas deodorants.
“Opposer (Cobblestone Lane LLC) intends to file an opposition to the above-identified trademark application,” read the motion filed July 8, 2020.
Sa kabila ng ligal na hamon, ang opisyal na kanta ng tema ng produkto at ang koreograpia nito ay nai-post sa online.https://youtu.be/iItyR1rIClA

Ang pangalang “Archewell” ay ibinahagi sa samahang itinatag nina Harry at Meghan na kasalukuyang may kasamang Archewell Foundation, Archewell Audio at Archewell Productions.

“At Archewell, we unleash the power of compassion to drive systemic cultural change,” reads a post on the organization’s official website.

Ngunit sa profile sa Twitter na tila pagmamay-ari ni Victor na natagpuan ng World Trademark Review, ang negosyante ay lilitaw na hindi nababagabag at hindi nabalisa sa mga kaganapan.

Sa ligal na labanan na ito, nililinaw niya na di siya nababagabag.

ARCHEWELL is now a registered trademark in the Philippines (And it’s not a former British colony). English laws don’t work here. pic.twitter.com/tGR0prkHDy
