Reliance Industries applies for Operation Sindoor trademark for entertainment purposes

Reliance Industries and three other applicants filed trademark applications for 'Operation Sindoor' under Class 41 on May 7, 2025, soon after India launched the military operation by that name.
The filings occurred because Indian military operation names lack automatic intellectual property protection and remain open for private trademark claims unless challenged by the government.
The applications propose using 'Operation Sindoor' for entertainment, media production, cultural events, and digital content, reflecting the name's symbolic link to sacrifice and patriotism.
Legal experts noted that trademark registry will assess distinctiveness, genuine intent, and misleading potential, while applicants included Reliance, a retired Air Force officer, a lawyer, and a Mumbai resident.
The filings suggest potential films or web series about Operation Sindoor, indicating commercial and cultural interest in using the name for media projects reflecting the recent precision strike on terrorist targets.
