Does this mean G-Dragon can’t use the name G-Dragon? The company has been in the news recently for its trademark issues with YG Entertainment and its new relationship with Warner Music. Let’s take a closer look at G-Dragon’s relationship with YG and Warner Music.
If G-Dragon leaves YG Entertainment, will “G-Dragon” be unavailable?
It’s true that YG Entertainment has extended G-Dragon’s trademark. The trademark was first registered in 2003, with subsequent extensions in 2013 and 2023. The relationship between G-Dragon and YG and what this trademark extension means has been widely interpreted.
In overseas communities, VIPs (Big Bang’s fandom) are up in arms against YG Entertainment’s decision to extend the trademark for G-Dragon.
