- VeryDarkMan (VDM) challenges claims of trademark ownership by Blord regarding the term “Ratel.”
- VDM emphasizes that true ownership is based on originality rather than legal documentation.
- He asserts that being the “ratel” is unique and cannot be claimed by multiple parties.
VeryDarkMan (VDM) has addressed claims that Blord has legally trademarked “Ratel,” saying that true ownership is about originality, not paperwork.
“Being the ratel goes beyond trademark, son. There can only be one ratel. Only the person with the real ratel is the ratel. There’s only one ratel,” VDM said while interacting with a live ratel, using the animal’s uniqueness as a metaphor for his brand.
His remarks come amid online debates about the commercialization and registration of personal and cultural trademarks.
VDM stressed that genuine spirit and originality hold more weight than formal legal recognition for certain identities.
Social media reactions were mixed: some fans praised his focus on authenticity, while others questioned how his stance fits within intellectual property laws.
In related news… Controversial tech entrepreneur and cryptocurrency figure, Blord, has issued a stern warning to social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), over the continued use of the name “RATEL.”
In a strongly worded statement, Blord disclosed that he has instructed his Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to issue a cease-and-desist letter to VDM, demanding that he immediately stop using the name “RATEL,” which Blord claims is now legally associated with his brand.
“I have directed my SAN to issue a cease-and-desist letter to VDM, instructing him to stop using my brand name, RATEL. He will have to get my approval henceforth before using the name RATEL,” Blord stated.
According to Blord, the name “RATEL” has become part of his brand identity and commercial interests, and its continued use by VDM without authorization amounts to brand infringement. He insisted that any future use of the name must receive his explicit consent.
As of the time of filing this report, VeryDarkMan has not publicly responded to Blord’s claim or the reported legal action. The situation is expected to generate further debate, especially among VDM’s supporters, who see “RATEL” as a platform linked to activism and public accountability.
