Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) is warning the public against buying and selling Isuzu-branded cars without authorization.
The company in a notice said that it found individuals and entities selling Isuzu-branded cars, adding that those found infringing the trademark will be prosecuted.
“All violators must cease and desist from conducting unlawful acts, which includes unauthorized sale, offering for sale, distribution, importation, advertising, and other preparatory steps necessary to carry out the sale of goods or services,” IPC said.
IPC is the only authorized Philippine distributor and assembler of Japanese car manufacturer Isuzu Motors Limited (IML), which owns the Isuzu trademark in the Philippines and globally.
“IPC’s brand-new vehicles strictly follow specifications of IML in Japan, are fitted with genuine Isuzu parts, and comes with after sales services,” the company said.
IPC added that it cannot guarantee the “best” maintenance services and latest components to new vehicles bought through other channels.
The company is working with law firm Ortega Bacorro Odulio Calma & Carbonell.
The company recently launched its newest D-Max pick-up truck. — Jenina P. Ibañez
