US EditionReliance withdraws application for Operation Sindoor trademark
- Reliance Industries withdrew its trademark application for 'Operation Sindoor' on Thursday, May 8, 2025, after filing it for entertainment use under Class 41 a day earlier.
- The application was submitted inadvertently by a junior employee without authorization shortly after the Indian military announced Operation Sindoor on May 7, 2025.
- Operation Sindoor involved a series of Indian military strikes targeting nine militant training facilities across Pakistan and the region administered by Pakistan in Kashmir, conducted in response to a terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025, which was supported by Pakistan.
- Reliance stated, "Operation Sindoor" is an "evocative symbol of Indian bravery" and part of the national consciousness, affirming no intention to commercialize or trademark the phrase.
- The withdrawal illustrates Reliance's support for the armed forces while clarifying it will not claim exclusive commercial rights to the term, which multiple parties filed to trademark under entertainment categories.
