jr, the upper outline of the pig does appear to be taken from the Zubuchon pig logo, as the proportions appear nearly identical. And the gradient of red color is likewise familiar. But I am not an IPO lawyer so I am not sure if this is sufficiently different to be able to get it properly registered with the authorities. If they do use the logo, I would probably file a complaint with the IPO but not sure how well it would do. I lament the fact that folks just can’t get away from imitation or copying. It didn’t cost much nor take that long for an artist to create our logo, and it is terrible that others just simply choose to copy it… for now, I would have to refer this to the lawyers to see what they say. As an update on the chicharon, they have taken down all logos on the internet and they verbally promised to cease and desist in the use of the copied pig logo…

lack of creative minds :) copying is the easiest way to cut short on the creative process…

Uh oh. Stealing MM’s logo is a big mistake. The last business that did it failed miserably. The ultimate prito place is gone and I think a carinderia has replaced it.

I have noticed that some pinoys tend to copy stuff if they think that they wont be caught or if its not considered cheating. Ikaw pang mali pag di ka sumakay sa gawain ng grupo.

Poor Ultimate Prito Experience, na-prito sa sariling experience :)

Maybe, in a few months, we shall see the karmic result on this carcar chicharon…

Sad state of affairs indeed. MM, theft of this type – intellectual property – relates to your previous discussion of speeches lifted from the internet, et al.

Please keep us up to date on this. It’s really pathetic how people here seem to think that theft (of all kinds) is acceptable.
