Overview
- Justice Somasekhar Sundaresan restrained the defendants from using the JIO mark, the jiocabs.com domain, and any identical or deceptively similar logos or artwork.
- The order notes a strong prima facie case, finding that continued use of the protected brand would cause grave injury and that the balance of convenience favors Reliance.
- Reliance presented screenshots, WhatsApp chats, and images showing active misuse, along with registrations across multiple classes including digital, telecom, and transport services.
- Defendants identified in court include domain registrant Asif Ahmed, Doon Taxi Service proprietor Usman, and P. D.R. Solutions LLC, with services linked to Dehradun and Delhi.
- The defendants may file a reply within four weeks, and reports indicate they changed some content yet kept the jiocabs.com domain active.
