TAPE vs TVJ

On May 31, 2023, several hosts of Eat Bulaga!, namely Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and other core EB hosts filed their resignations due to disputes about the show's production and creative. On June 2, 2023, TVJ filed a petition for the cancellation of the trademark renewal filed by TAPE, Inc. on the Eat Bulaga!s trademarks and anything connected to it. The renewal was cancelled on December 5, 2023, upon the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines decision, forcing TAPE, Inc. to stop using Eat Bulaga!s trademarks and anything connected to it.
On June 30, 2023, TVJ through their legal representatives, filed a copyright infringement and unfair competition charges against TAPE, Inc. for using Joey de Leon's intellectual property in Marikina Regional Trial Court. The case went on to the TVJ's favor on January 6, 2024, ordering the cease and desist order on both TAPE, Inc. and GMA Network to stop airing anything that is connected to the Eat Bulaga! trademark. The case was put into Court of Appeals, but eventually rejected.

Lawsuit by GMA Network

On May 22, 2025, GMA Network filed a complaint against the executives of TAPE Inc. for alleged misappropriation of funds.
The case was because of the diversion of supposedly payments to GMA to "improve" their product. Several attempts at mediation failed, and the case goes on.
