Delhi Developer Faces Legal Action Over 'JioHotstar' Domain Purchase

A techie attempted to leverage the domain name for educational funding amid the JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar merger.

A Delhi-based app developer bought the domain 'JioHotstar.com' in anticipation of the JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar merger.
The developer requested Reliance Industries to fund their Cambridge University education in exchange for the domain.
Reliance Industries has denied the request and is pursuing legal action against the developer for the domain acquisition.
The developer argues there was no trademark infringement as the domain was purchased before any official announcement.
The case has sparked discussions online, with reactions ranging from amusement to debates on legal implications.
