MS Dhoni seeks trademark for sobriquet 'Captain Cool'
Delhi high court ruling on numbers as trademarks could be a trendsetter.
'Accordingly, no proprietary rights or exclusivity can be claimed over such a generic phrase, and any attempt to do so is legally unsustainable and contrary to the basic principles of trademark law.'

Financial technology (fintech) firms PhonePe and BharatPe announced on Sunday that they have settled long-standing legal disputes regarding the use of the trademark with the suffix 'Pe' in their brand names. The settlement concludes five-year-long legal disputes across multiple courts. Both companies have decided to withdraw all opposition against each other in the Trade Marks Registry.
