Bombay High Court Directs GoDaddy To Inform Swiggy Every Time A Domain Name Containing Mark ‘Swiggy’ Is Registered

 

The Bombay High Court on Monday passed an interim order directing GoDaddy, an internet domain registrar, to inform Swiggy whenever a domain name containing the mark ‘Swiggy’ is registered [Bundl Technologies Private Limited vs Aanit Awattam alias Aanit Gupta & Ors].

Justice Manish Pitale stated that although GoDaddy could not prevent future registrations, given the peculiar situation wherein the public was affected due to nefarious activities of entities claiming to be associated with Swiggy, it could inform Swiggy when a domain name containing its mark is registered.
