In my view vnext.in AND gearbest.in should be watched - if defended well...given some grey area opportunity in vnext (very speciifc sub product brand) and gearbest.com has no TM in India . Rest are blatant TM violations. AGVA.co,in is a strange one also. agva.co.in 15.11.2018 Ms. Divya...

Logged yesterday were two INDRPs A rare LLL related INDRP which I hope is defended by the registrant well against any attempt to RDNH it by most likely complainants QRG Hospitals without a trademark applicable in this context. Then there is GoSport.IN which should also be easily defended with...

Interesting domain disputes pending Cars24.in, FDC.in and Butterfly.in worth watching.
