Legal Victory: Jaman Products Inc. vs. Eurobrass Products Inc.
Overview
Jaman Products Inc. has successfully defended its trademark rights against Eurobrass Products Inc. in an inter partes case (IPC No. 14-2015-00433) decided by the Bureau of Legal Affairs. The decision affirmed Jaman's exclusive rights over its brand and product designs, reinforcing its position in the market. This victory underscores Jaman's commitment to protecting its intellectual property and ensuring the integrity of its products in the industry.
Background
This legal dispute centers on the cancellation of Eurobrass's trademark registration for the brand name "Jaman." Jaman Products, Inc. (JPI) filed a petition seeking the cancellation of Eurobrass's trademark registration, arguing that Eurobrass had no right to use the "Jaman" name. JPI contended that the "Jaman" brand was exclusively owned by Manuel Ang, Jr., who had founded Eurobrass but later left the company. After his departure, Ang established Jaman Products, Inc., which continued to use the "Jaman" brand.
Decision
The Bureau of Legal Affairs ruled in favor of Jaman Products, Inc., ordering the cancellation of Eurobrass's trademark registration for "Jaman." The decision was based on the finding that Eurobrass had no right to use the "Jaman" name, as it was exclusively owned by Manuel Ang, Jr., and subsequently by Jaman Products, Inc.
Implications
This case underscores the importance of trademark ownership and the legal protections afforded to brand names in the Philippines. It highlights the need for companies to ensure that their trademarks are properly registered and that they have the legal right to use the names associated with their brands.
