CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A Delhi-based techie has put up the domain name ‘jiohotstar’ for sale in an effort to fund his studies, sparking legal concerns from Reliance Industries. The individual registered the domain, combining two major brands—Jio and Hotstar—both of which are associated with large corporations, including Reliance.
This move has raised questions about trademark infringement and potential legal repercussions. Reliance, known for protecting its brand aggressively, may take legal action against the techie for unauthorized use of their trademarks.
While the techie claims he meant no harm and is merely seeking to finance his education, legal experts suggest that the case could serve as a warning for others attempting similar ventures. The domain’s sale has yet to attract buyers, but it has caught the attention of both legal circles and the corporate world. It remains to be seen whether Reliance will pursue legal action or if a settlement could be reached.
