This legal step ensures the bird's identity is protected as a trademark. In a notable gesture, Marcelo Ebrard personally delivered the document to the bird's loved ones. The registration formalizes the status of the animal within the legal framework of intellectual property. This move prevents unauthorized use of the duck's image or name.
