The new trend

PATENT YOUR NAME. Following the ruckus that resulted after a restaurant revealed it had a patent for the term “tuslob buwa”. People are now worried some of the more common food terms will also be patented by others.

“Ayaw lang intawn ‘nang buwad, bagoong, og barbecue i-patent, kay morag lisod na,” a netizen said.

Another said he was patenting his name because it was so common.
