Bombay High Court Restrains Taxi Operator from Using ‘Jio’ Brand Name

The Bombay High Court has granted interim relief to Reliance Jio, restraining a Jharkhand-based taxi operator from using the "Jio Taxi" mark.

A single bench of Justice Sharmila U. Deshmukh issued the ad-interim injunction on November 24, 2025, directing the operator to immediately cease using the contested mark, including the website jiotaxicab.com, pending the final resolution of the dispute.

The court found prima facie trademark infringement and potential consumer confusion with Jio's well-established brand. It noted that the operator’s prior attempt to register the mark had been rejected, strengthening Reliance’s claim.

The injunction aims to prevent further misuse of the mark until the matter is finally adjudicated.
