I&#039;d like to post my two cents, I guess there&#039;s no infringement here. Trademarks are infringed only when they have been duly registered. Or when that name aside from being registered has been a &#039;household name&#039; for that particular goods or services.
If the name is not highly intertwined nor distinctive of that product or service, and belongs to a an entirely different category, no law was violated. You must consider as well, the location, intention and resulting injury to said product or service.
I hope that helps! :)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>I&#8217;d like to post my two cents, I guess there&#8217;s no infringement here.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.macuha.com/?p=843#comment-5854</guid> <description>hi marghil. There&#039;s no problem with your above example. Puto King is as in the example above is a trademark pertaining to a restaurant, now Jane&#039;s blog post is about a person named &quot;Puto King&quot; for having eaten the most putos. If Jane has made a restaurant named &quot;Puto King&quot; then that&#039;s what illegal.
What is illegal under the Philippine Law is registering a mark that is:
Is identical with a registered mark belonging to a different proprietor or a mark with an earlier filing or priority date, in respect of:
(i) The same goods or services, or
(ii) Closely related goods or services, or
(iii) If it nearly resembles such a mark as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion.
Hindi naman confusing yung ginawang blog post ni Jane ah, Tao yung sa kanya, yung isa restaurant- a thing.. Puto King as  a person is different sa Puto King na restaurant. Besides Jane has no intention of registering say a &quot;Puto King Restaurant&quot; or kahit  anong &quot;Puto King&quot; business na still related sa Puto food. Kaya, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any problem with that..
That&#039;s just my opinion but I could be wrong..:)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi marghil. There&#8217;s no problem with your above example.
