The best/only leverage YGE has in Blackpink negotiations vs. huge international companies is the BP brand

Source? Trust me bro

As far as I know, the trademarks on Lisa's name are specifically for fashion
-
Just add X solo songs/albums in X years into the contract. It's very common for music contracts. Jennie signed the original contract to be a member of BP, not a soloist.

YG has trademarked stage names before but from what I understand, they normally give them back once their contract expires. GD and Taeyangs names were both copyrighted.
Lisa's names were marked under fashion brand related purposes, so if Lisa wanted to start a clothing brand, it couldn't be called "Lisa" "Lalisa" or "Manobal" without YG's permission or paying them a fee. She can still promote under her name just fine and even for fashion, I don't think it would be a hard case for her win it back as, while Lalisa isn't her given name by birth, she still walked into YG with that name, they didn't create it
I assume it was trademarked in the first place because most of her merch has her name on it, iirc it was trademarked around "Lalisa" era

Just remember that Lisa did do well all the time. She can't help it that some of the others don't bother

Multiple songs? I admit i don't know every single bp song but i only know solo. And i know that rose, lisa and jisoo got two solo songs. Obviously the members getting solos wasn't forbidden. But the number of songs is beyond embarrassing.
Bts didn't promote them because they weren't solos, they were solo songs on bts albums. Like rose's hard to love on the latest bp album. All the members should have gotten solos on bp albums.
Bts have promoted their official debuts that started last year
BP only has 30ish songs in total in seven years, i don't know why would i expect them getting proper EP's
Anyways, i hope the girls get good contacts from whoever they choose to sign
-
In twice, literally none of them had solos in their first contract lol. I think second contract will give her more solos, or maybe I'm being too positive
They didn't get any solo activities including cfs, they aren't a good example

No lies here.

One could similarly argue that the staff's efforts in building their popularity and arranging all their jobs/deals (group and solo) has earned heaps for the girls.
A symbiotic relationship
