Reliance retracts application to trademark 'Operation Sindoor’

Indian conglomerate Reliance announced on Thursday that it had withdrawn its application to trademark the phrase “Operation Sindoor,” a day after filing to register it for entertainment-related use under class 41.

“Jio Studios, a unit of Reliance Industries, has withdrawn its trademark application, which was filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation,” the company said in a statement.

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries said that it has no plans to trademark the phrase “which is now a part of the national consciousness as an evocative symbol of Indian bravery”.

The company expressed immense pride in the military operation calling it a sign of “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,” the company added.
