Of course your father can demand reimbursement of expenses minus reasonable rentals, if there are no more receipts expenses can be established through proper valuation by independent party.. my advise is dont move out until there is a decision for you to vacate from the court. in otherwords let your Lola file an ejectment suit. (kaya nyo kaya makipag laban sa korte sa lola mo?) pag dating sa mana the law provides how a forced heir may be disinherited... kukuha na kayo ng abugado niyan...

Thank u, sir butsoy. Ano naman kaya ang magiging laban namin sa kanila? Since kanila nman talaga yung bahy. Will it not be useless to fight them in court if talo din namn kami in the end?? Also, u mean dadaan pa sa law ung disinheritance (may word bang ganyan) ng papa ko before sya madisinherit?

 

Salamat ulet.

Hi i would like to seek help regarding the authenticity of a secret marriage. The relationship has gone bad and before thinking of annulment, we would like to have our marriage certificate checked first and see if the marriage is valid. I have doubts regarding the solemnizer of the marriage and maybe this would be the cause of the invalidation of the secret marriage. Who can we contact for this service of checking the authenticity of the solemnizer? It's a rev. and we don't know what religious org it was and none of the married couple are members of that religious org whatever that is.

 

when did you get married? If prior to August 31, 1988, you'll be covered by the Civil Code. If after, teh Family Code. Under the Civil Code, if the person performing the marriage had no authority to do so, the marriage is void. Under the Fanily Code, even if the solemnizing officer is not authorized, the marriage would be valid if either or both parties believe in good faith in his authority to solemnize the marriage.

the first place to start is the NSO. if there is a certified copy of the marriage contract then it is pressumed to be authentic. If there is one on record, then look for the marriage license number. chances are, if it is a "secret marriage" then it is usually a fictitious license number. go check the place where it was supposedly issued and verify if such license exists.

Does the place of marriage have any effect as to the authenticity?

 

Yes, this is a secret marriage. In QC hall, where can i verify there if the license exists?

the license number as well as the place where it was issued is indicated in the marriage certificate.

Is there anyone familiar with the regulation regarding the intellectual Property in the Philippines?

 

I have been planning to start the "BOX" shop in the Philippines. The concept of this store is that I sub-lease the space of my shop on the basic of per cubic foot by putting display showcase (cabinet) which consist many partition (or small box which is 1'x 1' x 1' each). This is very popular in Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan for the last 10 years.

 

However, when I am looking for a good location for my shop, I found out someone started same kind of store this week. and they have web page http://funboxph.multiply.com

 

Which is exactly the same theme as my store.

 

Unfortunately, they claim that "The "box store concept" of Funbox has been patented. Please report sightings of other stores using the same concept".

 

I check the IPO Philippines, they have pending registration of the trademark but i am not sure if they really patented the concept.

 

Per my limited knowledge of patent, I don't think this kind of simple "store concept" can be patented. But I am not sure about it.

 

IS THERE ANYONE CAN HELP ME ABOUT THIS?

 

THANKS.

We'll have to get a bit technical here. Under out Intellectual Property Code, any technical solution of a problem in any field of human activity which is new, involves an inventive step and is industrially applicable shall be Patentable. It may be, or may relate to, a product, or process, or an improvement of any of the foregoing. Specifically excluded from patent protection are schemes, rules and methods of doing business.

 

Simply put, i don't think they can patent the concept of leasing out boxes where the lessees can advertise and place their products. If you need help, send me a pm.

I also think that they can register FUNBOX as their trademark relating to their business activity that is based on sub-lease the space in their store and display the item of their lessees in the 1'x1'x1' square displaying area.

Their store concept is not a technical or industrial invention, so it cannot be patented di ba?

if the mark funbox is available, they can register it.

 

yup. i don't it can be registered. however, it doesn't preclude them from filing a application. just don't think it'll be granted.

of happy married life, nagkaron ng madameng problema,

nambababae ang asawa nya, may ibinahay,

nalaman nalang nya, may anak na pala ang asawa nya sa iba..

itinago un sakanya ng 3years.. until dumating ung time na

nakita nya sa isang mall ung asawa niya with the other woman

and the baby boy.

 

anu anung laban nya run at pwede nya makuhang support since may

anak din sila?

at kung may ikakaso siya sa asawa nya, anu-ano un?

 

after rin nung pangyayari, nakamove on na siya, and nagkanya2 na sila

at may boyfriend na siya ulit ilang years na.

 

kung hindi rin dadaan ng annulment ang kasal nila,

gaano katagal bago ma void ang marriage nila at

paano ang conditions para ma void un since gusto nila

magkasal..? may narinig kasi ako na pag ilang years

hindi magkasama o wala nang communication, nagiging void

ang kasal.. how is that?

 

can someone clear this issue? thanks
