The legendary trio of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon has joined forces with TAPE Inc. co-founder Tony Tuviera to own the “Eat Bulaga!” trademark after parting ways with the Jalosjos-owned production firm.
A Twitter user learned that Tuviera filed an application to own the “Eat Bulaga!” trademark last February with the Intellectual Property Office while De Leon formally made a similar request in March.
TAPE’s ownership of the trademark is set to expire on June 14, so there’s basis for the applications filed by Tuviera and De Leon.
TVJ announced on Wednesday (May 31) their exit from TAPE after a falling out with the Jalosjos family. The trio has been hosting the show for over four decades.
The Sotto brothers and De Leon are close to Tuviera, whom they describes as not just a close friend but like family.
The trademark of Eat Bulaga will be interesting since Tape Inc still has the Eat Bulaga and EB Logo. But will expire on June 14 2023.
