Tata Sons wins cybersquatting case against MakeMyTrip
Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group firms, has won a case at the World Intellectual Property Organisation against the travel portal, MakeMyTrip, which has been using the term "tata" in one of its website, "oktatabyebye.Com". Sensex ends up 35pts In May, Tata Sons had moved the Geneva-based WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center demanding transfer of disputed domain name. The company had argued that the site infringed the right of its registered trademark/service mark "Tata". The WIPO has now ordered the transfer of domain name to Tata Sons. "The impugned website incorporates the Tata"s orporate name and registered trademark in full and it proves that it is identical in part and confusingly similar to its well-known brand in which the company has a statutory right," Tata Sons had said in its complaint. Replying to the charges, MakeMyTrip had said the usage of the word "tata" as a gesture finds its mention in the origin of a place called Ta Ta Creek as far back as in the year 1860 and denied that the domain in question is confusingly similar to the trade mark "Tata" of the complainant.Davinder commented:

Online travel company MakeMyTrip Ltd filed with U.S. regulators on Monday to raise up to $100 million in an initial public offering of common stock. The company, based in Haryana, told the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission in a preliminary prospectus that Morgan Stanley, Oppenheimer and Pacific Crest Securities were underwriting the IPO.

Nice informative post but it was strange to know the issue story. Actually if a word is protected by copyright or patent law then it\'s use by any other is just an infringement and is penalised by law. Keep updating.
