TAPE Inc. has received from Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines the certification of renewal of registration for “Eat Bulaga” trademark, amid the production company’s ongoing legal tussle with the noontime show’s original mainstays Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, collectively known as TVJ.

The trademark registration was renewed on June 14, 2023, and is effective until June 14, 2033, with TAPE Inc. named as the registrant. A copy of the certificate was released to the media on Saturday, Aug. 5.
