‘Filed inadvertently by…’ Reliance says no intention of trademarking Operation Sindoor, withdraws application | Company Business News

Reliance Industries issued a statement on Thursday, May 8, stating that it has “withdrawn” its earlier application for a trademark for ‘Operation Sindoor,’ and that it was “ filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation.”

“Reliance Industries has no intention of trademarking Operation Sindoor, a phrase which is now a part of the national consciousness as an evocative symbol of Indian bravery.

Jio Studios, a unit of Reliance Industries, has withdrawn its trademark application, which was filed inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation,” the company’s statement read.

Reliance Industries’ statement comes hours after it had applied for a trademark for the codename for India’s joint military action – Operation Sindoor – which targeted nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

“Reliance Industries and all its stakeholders are incredibly proud of Operation Sindoor, which came about in response to a Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Operation Sindoor is the proud achievement of our brave Armed Forces in 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,” Reliance added.
