Reliance Snags “Operation Sindoor” Trademark—What’s the Drama?

Just hours after India’s daring cross-border strike dubbed Operation Sindoor, Reliance Industries sprinted to the Trade Marks Registry and dropped its application for the name—Class 41 style. Translation? Jio Studios now holds dibs on turning this real-life action flick into movies, web series, or even VR thrill-rides.

But wait the plot thickens! Three other hopefuls (a Mumbai resident, a retired Air Force Group Captain, and a Delhi lawyer) also filed under the same entertainment bucket. It’s like Bollywood’s hottest pitch competition: who gets to own and cash in on India’s most buzzworthy military saga?

Why it matters:

• First-mover flex: Reliance owns the title, so any “Operation Sindoor” project must pass through its IP fortress.

• Box-office gold: Military epics are hot (think Uri and Shershaah). This could be the next big patriotic blockbuster.

• Trademark face-off: Watch for courtroom drama—can you really trademark a national hero move without a challenge?
  

Keep your popcorn ready. Whether Reliance really green-lights a film or it all crashes in legal drama, “Operation Sindoor” just became the juiciest IP battle in Bollywood town.
