Pico Technology is not alone. There are other brands that are present in Chile, whose names allude to the male reproductive organ. Pico was the controversy with which this week started, this after the National Institute of Industrial Property of Chile (Inapi) denied the process due to the name that was trying to be registeredas published by the Diario Financiero.
This is because “Pico” is used as a word to refer to the penis. But the same thing happens with other brands that have arrived in the Latin American country. For example: Tula, Pico Dulce, Mitula and more. When these brands first arrived in Chile, people used to laugh or get uncomfortable just mentioning them, but today they are brands that have become normalized.
