The Supreme Court rules against one of the original incorporators of Gloria Maris who registered the trademark in his name instead of under the company

Lim, an engineer, was one of the original incorporators of Gloria Maris when it took over an ordinary Chinese restaurant in the Cultural Center of the Philippines complex in Pasay City 31 years ago and had it registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1994. However, despite the company being incorporated in 1994, Lim registered the trademark only in 2005 or over 10 years later. Not only that, he also franchised the concept to several companies.
“The ODG found that Gloria Maris had been using the name ‘Gloria Maris’ as part of its corporate name and business identity for more than 10 years before Lim’s registration with the IPO,” the SC said in a press release on its decision. “It was bad faith on Lim’s part to reap the fruits of the goodwill built by the Gloria Maris brand when he registered the subject marks in his own name. Obviously, it was the corporation as a whole that built and established the brand,” the SC said in the ruling penned by Associate Justice Maria Filomena Singh.
“Bad faith in the context of trademark registration means that the applicant has knowledge of prior creation, use, and/or registration by another of an identical or similar trademark.” Gloria Maris serves “authentic Chinese cuisine,” such as braised shark’s fin in various soup dishes and braised abalone.
