“Being the ratel goes beyond trademark, there can only be one real ratel — VeryDarkMan challenges trademark claim

VeryDarkMan (VDM) has responded to recent claims that someone else had trademarked “Ratel,” insisting that true ownership comes from authenticity rather than legal paperwork.

“Being the ratel goes beyond trademark, son. There can only be one ratel. It’s only the person with the real ratel that can be the ratel. There’s only one ratel,” VDM said while interacting with a live ratel, highlighting the uniqueness of the animal as a metaphor for his brand.
