On the subject matter of intellectual property, Atty. Felicisimo F. Agas III and Atty. Zarah Mae L. Rovero-Calderon, in their Article entitled, "Pruning the Divergence: Examining Zuneca and Kolin and Their Effects on the Multiverse of Rules Governing Trademarks," examines the jurisprudential tests on trademark recognition and protection in the hope of streamlining and providing a coherent set of guidelines for trademark law.
