IndiGo drags Mahindra Electric to court for trademark infringement of its 6E code
InterGlobe Aviation, which runs the largest airline IndiGo, on Tuesday moved the Delhi High Court alleging trademark infringement of its Air Transport Association code ‘6E’ by Mahindra Electric Automobiles. The airline accused the automaker of using the mark ‘6E’ in its upcoming electric sports utility vehicle (SUV) Mahindra BE 6e, which it claimed to be similar to its trademark ‘6E.’
Mahindra BE 6E, which has generated buzz for its unique design and tech loaded features, is expected to hit the roads in February next year.
While Justice Amit Bansal recused himself from the hearing the case, senior counsel Sandeep Sethi informed the court that Mahindra had reached out to the airline on Monday and an effort was being made to discuss the matter.
The case is likely to come up for hearing on December 9
The Registrar of Trademarks had on November 25 accepted Mahindra Electric’s request to register its mark ‘BE 6e’ in class 12 (vehicles). If registered, Mahindra will be allowed to use 6E for a wide range of motor vehicles and related components, including land vehicles, off-road and utility vehicles, electric and internal combustion engine-powered vehicles, buses, trucks, tractors, and parts. However, the mark cannot be used for two-wheelers and their components.
