Attorney/s...hope you can help us with this..

May pumasok na katulong samin for 10 days lang kasi she found a job elsewhere...At that time nawalan ng 2 silver necklace yung wife ko after a month may nkapagsabi na nakita nila yung necklace based dun sa description ng wife ko na may nagsanla daw..yung nagsanla is the MOTHER nung namasukan samin.Pinuntahan nmin yung pinagsanlaan and we found out n yun nga yung neckclase na nawawala.Isinanla daw sa kanya ng P400...we confronted them..pero they denied it..and sometimes nadudulas sila at pamali-mali kung san galing yung necklace.Pumunta kami sa barangay hall to settle pero wala nagyari..My question is..IF WE CAN CHARGE THE GIRL WITH QUALIFIED THEFT? THE MOTHER WITH FENCING?

AND WHERELSE CAN WE GO TO FILE A COMPLIENT KASI SABI NG TAGA BARANGAY HALL NA MALIIT NA VALUE LANG YUNG NINAKAW PARA MAGSAMPA KAMI NG COMPLAINT SA POLICE STATION DAHIL SA BARANGAY HALL DIN DAW ITUTURO YUNG CASE.AND HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT

 

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SIR/S.

 

Yes, the crime constitutes qualified theft. You may opt not to course it through with the barangay anymore because qualified theft has a higher penalty, hence, no longer covered by the katarungang pambarangay. you may file your complaint with the prosecutor's office.

 

don't worry about the liablity of the mother. just state all the facts in your complaint and it's up to the prosecutor if he will indict the mother as a principal conspiratory, or merely accomplice.

Kunwari, nabuntis po aq pero di pa aq ksal sa lalaki . . . Ang dadalhin po bng last name ng anak q un sa nkabuntis saken?

Ordinarily, the child should carry your surname. However, should the father recognized the child, then the child may use the surname of the father. When the registering the birth of the child before the civil registry, just have the father sign at the back of the Certificate of Live Birth.

mga expert, need your help. mag papautang sana ako ng pera sa friend ko. gusto ko sana igawa ng kasulatan na pwede gamitin sa legal na paraan kapag nde nagka bayaran. bigyan nyo naman ako ng sample. thanks in advance.

 

You can require your friend to issue a postdated check the amount and date of which correspond to the amount and term of the loan. When the term of the loan ends, encash the check. Once the check bounced, sue your friend for violation of bouncing checks. Since what you filed is a criminal case, surely you will recover the amount of the loan; but not the friendship.

Just wany to ask may nakukulong pa ba sa BP22??

 

YES; but the courts now has the policy to just impose fine and require the accused to pay the amount of the check. Note, however, that one could still be imprisoned for failure to pay the fine.

Clarification, iba ang tradename or business name sa trademark....

 

Tradename is what a single proprietorshop goes around doing business. Note, tradename's are registered with the DTI and is interfaced with the SEC registry of corporations, so that names of corporation's and businesses are not confusingly similar. If its the tradename you are referring to, malamang magka-problema pag ni-register mo ang name dahil similar ang reference nyo to the word "runner". Kung ganon nga, suggestion ko lagyan mo ng number or letter sa unahan nong ni-reregister mo na trade name, like AAA Runner Machines.

 

Pero as a trademark which is "a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, business organization, or other legal entity to identify that the products or services to consumers with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities." Pwede na marami ang gumamit ng Runner basta hindi closely similar ang itsura nong logo or sign. Example distinctive yong logo ng Philippine Rabbit, distinctive yon to them. . . pero nong ginamit nila si bugs bunny sa bus nila, malamang magka-problema sila don kasi may copyright ang Warner Bros. kay Bugs Bunny. So if distinct naman ang logo and appearance ng name na gamit mo, runner machines, pwede yon. Mag-TM Search ka sa Intellectual Property of the Philippines website, use this link http://www.ipophil.gov.ph/tmsearch3/ Tignan mo kung magkahawig yong trademark na gusto mo.

Dagdag ko lang, ang computation nong fine is double the face value of the bounced check. And the "double the fine" is for the first offense of the accused, pag in-aver na paulit-ulit ginagawa, the Court is directed to impose the and/or prison term under BP22.

Thanks po. May followup question lang po ako. What if ang nakatrademark na brand name is RUNNER TECHNOLOGIES, then i decided to market a similar product with the brand name RUNNER only (without the TECHNOLOGIES), may habol pa ba sila sa akin? Thanks in advance!

 

Thanks po! May follow up question po ako. What if ang trinademark ng isang company ang name na RUNNER TECHNOLOGIES, di po ba di ko pwede gamitin yun. Pero what if i used the name RUNNER only (without the TECHNOLOGIES), may habol pa ba sila sa akin?

I don't think there is a prohibition as to patenting recipes. Pero ang tanong ganon ba talaga ka-unique, novel and hindi obvious ang recipe mo, para ma-satisfy yong patentability requirement. Tipong may literature ka na kakaiba ang proseso mo para magawa mo yong yucan cake mo, eh baka pwede i-aprove. Pero kung ang ginawa mo lang is change the ingredients and still used the generic process of making a cake, eh malamang hindi lumusot yon.

Do you have a written proof of the loan? makakatulong yon. Kasi kung wala, you word against your friends word. although pwede naman ma-prove ang loan through witnesses and other people who has direct knowledge of the loan. If you can get your friend to sign a promissory note before even instituting any case against him/her, mas maganda. kahit ngayon lang yong document atleast may proof ka na.

 

There is a new small claims court instituted by the Supreme Court for small claims, claims less than P100,000.00 pwede mo sya i-demanda don. here's a copy of the rules http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/rulesofcourt/20...2008-8-7-SC.pdf.

 

NOTE, hindi ka pwede i-represent ng abogado, kayo-kayo lang talaga yan.
