Controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan has intensified the ongoing drama with entrepreneur Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, after declaring that he is the one who officially registered the “Blord” trademark.
Speaking in a video shared today, VDM claimed he secured the legal rights to the brand name, insisting that the trademark is registered under his control. The statement immediately triggered widespread reactions online, with many questioning how the move could impact Blord’s business identity and brand operations.
The “Blord” name has long been associated with Linus Williams’ tech ventures, cryptocurrency activities, and digital investment platforms. Over the years, the brand has become central to his public image and commercial presence.
VDM’s claim suggests a legal twist that could potentially open the door to a broader intellectual property dispute if verified. While he did not publicly release full documentation at the time of his statement, he maintained that the registration process was completed legitimately.
Supporters of VDM argue that trademark registration operates on a first to file basis, meaning whoever legally registers a name may gain exclusive rights to its commercial use. Others insist that prior use, brand recognition, and existing business operations could also play a role if the matter escalates legally.
As of now, Blord has not issued a detailed public response directly addressing VDM’s specific claim of ownership.
Legal experts note that trademark conflicts can become complex, particularly when a brand name is already widely recognized in the marketplace. If both parties pursue the matter formally, it could evolve into a significant case highlighting the importance of intellectual property protection in Nigeria’s growing digital economy.
For now, VDM’s declaration has shifted the narrative from mere questioning of the trademark to an outright claim of ownership, raising the stakes in what is quickly becoming one of the most talked about online business disputes of the moment.
