The Supreme Court declared unlawful the registration of the Gloria Maris trademark under one of the company’s incorporators.

In a Decision written by Associate Justice Maria Filomena D. Singh, the Supreme Court’s Third Division ordered the cancellation of the Certificates of Registration over the Gloria Maris trademark, consisting of the words “Gloria Maris” with a shark’s fin enclosed in a plate of an irregular shape (Gloria Maris trademark), in the name of Pacifico Q. Lim (Lim).

The Court ruled that a trademark registered in bad faith may be canceled for being unfair competition under the Intellectual Property Code.

Bad faith in the context of trademark registration means that the applicant has knowledge of prior creation, use and/or registration by another of an identical or similar trademark.

In this case, Lim knew that Gloria Maris Shark’s Fin Restaurant, Inc. (Gloria Maris) had been using the mark and name “Gloria Maris” for more than 10 years. He was also the company's incorporator and director and remained a shareholder even after registering the trademark

It was also bad faith on Lim’s part to benefit from the goodwill built by the Gloria Maris brand when the company as a whole built and established the brand.
