PUBLIC ADVISORY : Unauthorized use of the PiPo™ name
PiPo™ is issuing this advisory to help avoid potential public confusion arising from the similarity between the PiPo™ trademark and the name of another company referenced in a recent Securities and Exchange Commission advisory. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a public advisory concerning an unauthorized website impersonating PIPO Financing (PH), Inc., a financing company. While that advisory does not concern PiPo™, the similarity in names may lead members of the public to mistakenly associate PiPo™ with online lending, financing, investment schemes, or other financial services.
PiPo™ has become aware that the similarity between the “PiPo™” name and the name of another company has the potential to cause confusion among members of the public. PiPo™ is a registered trademark in the Philippines under Trademark Registration No. PH4202500508127, registered with the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) on 09 May 2025 under Nice Classification Class 35. The trademark is used in connection with the companys’ business activities in oil and gas exploration and development, and energy related infrastructure projects. PiPo™ does not engage in consumer lending, financing, deposit-taking, or other regulated financial services.
