VDM Insists True Ownership Of “Ratel” Comes From Authenticity, Not Trademark
VeryDarkMan (VDM) has responded to claims that Blord secured the legal trademark for “Ratel,” insisting that true ownership comes from authenticity, not legal documents.
“Being the ratel goes beyond trademark, son. There can only be one ratel. Only the person with the real ratel is the ratel. There’s only one ratel,” VDM said while interacting with a live ratel, highlighting the animal’s uniqueness as a reflection of his brand.
His comments come amid online debates over the commercialization and registration of personal and cultural trademarks, with VDM arguing that genuine originality matters more than formal recognition.
Fans on social media reacted with mixed opinions—some applauded his emphasis on authenticity, while others questioned how his perspective aligns with intellectual property laws.
