Back in December 2019, YG Entertainment Inc. was filing two trademarks of Blackpink Lisa fashion lines “Manobal Lalisa” and “Manobal” under the Clothing category. Now, these trademarks have active starting in January 2020.
YG owns s49 trademarks with different categories. Some of them using idols names such as G-Dragon, Seungri, PSY, Gangnam Style, Daesung, GD, Taeyang, iKON, and more. For more details, you can check on this website https://trademarks.justia.com/
“Manobal Lalisa” and “Manobal”
Surprisingly, YG filed the trademarks with Blackpink Lisa’s misspelled surname. Her real name in Thai is Pranpriya Manoban or Lalisa Manoban. There is a mistake in the spelling of her surname MANOBAN. Which she explained why her real name is different in her ID card.

So, instead of having BAL, the correct spelling is using BAN in MANOBAN.
