Reliance on Thursday withdrew its application to Trademark “Operation Sindoor”. The withdrawal comes a day after it applied to register the mark for entertainment purposes under class 41. Mukesh Ambani headed Reliance said that trademark application was filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation.
“Reliance Industries 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. Jio Studios, a unit of Reliance Industries, has withdrawn its trademark application, which was filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation. 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,” said Reliance Industries.
Reliance Industries Limited was the first to file a trademark application for “Operation Sindoor” — just hours after the name of the Indian military operation was announced. Within the next 24 hours, three more applicants followed, all seeking exclusive rights under Class 41, which covers entertainment, education, cultural and media services.
