MUMBAI, MAY 8
Reliance Industries Limited has no intention of trademarking ‘Operation Sindoor,’ a phrase which is now a part of the national consciousness as an evocative symbol of Indian bravery, says a company spokesperson.
“Jio Studios, a unit of Reliance Industries, has withdrawn its trademark application, which was filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorization,” the statement added.
Reliance Industries and all its stakeholders are incredibly proud of Operation Sindoor, which came about in response to a Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Operation Sindoor is the proud achievement of our brave Armed Forces in India’s uncompromising fight against the evil of terrorism.
Reliance stands fully in support of our Government and Armed Forces in this fight against terrorism. Our commitment to the motto of ‘INDIA FIRST’ remains unwavering.
Reliance Industries Limited and five others had approached the Controller General of Patents Design and Trade Marks for the registration of term “Operation Sindoor”.
RIL was first to file the trademark application for the term under trademark Class 41 which covers services like education and entertainment.
According to the details available on the website of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, RIL and five others have so far moved applications seeking trademark registration.
Besides RIL, other applicants — Mukesh Chetram Agrawal, Group Captain (retired) Kamal Singh Oberh, Alok Kothari, Jayaraj T and Uttam — have also sought registering the term.
