It’s not 6E. It’s sexy(6E). sexy flight number and be sexy is Mahindra quote. That’s why they are fighting. For marketing it’s important. I don’t fly indigo for 6E but I remember them when 6E is used.

You gave examples from outside India but forgot to mention LUX - one a soap , established since decades & another inner wear ; the court allowed it & both exist till date.
Not all companies go to war. For example, Cisco and Apple both shared the same name for their OS: iOS. They never fought, and Cisco never threatened Apple. Instead, they reached an agreement and handled the situation smartly. Steve Jobs played a pivotal role in how the situation between Apple and Cisco over the iOS trademark was resolved.
Fun fact: The iPhone license was on the verge of expiry because cisco never used it on any product for years. As soon as they learned that Apple will be using that name in an upcoming phone, they hurriedly re-licensed it back right at the end of the grace period. Just to have a finger in the pie. No money was exchanged for the license between apple and cisco afaik
I think it's in favor of consumers. If I book a 6E flight from Bangalore to Delhi for 7k and get a delivery of 6e EV, I'll not only be super hyped, I'll book only Indigo flights going forward and will not go places where Indigo doesn't go ;-P
I guess the air line Has genuine point here, for me as indigo traveller 6e reminds only of indigo airlines, One more example of this kind is, I used to own a bike Hyosung motorcycles called comet brought to India by kinetic group, and look at MG they used comet name for there electric car, Why such situation arise ? Is it ok to copy cut & paste Very disappointing brands doing such unfair business tactics…
I believe Mahindra's BE 6E has gained more fame in this week than Indigo's "6E" ever did. And now, only because of this case, Indigo's 6E might gain some recognition.
Mahindra is a respected brand... all over the planet, but NOT this airliner.... Keep away from anything that would confuse people... Dear Anand Mahindra
Was Indigo sleeping when Mahindra took the trademark for BE6E? They should have objected before TM registration. Just taking a trademark and slipping into slumber doesn't work. A trademark owner needs to keep an eye on the TM journals from time to time (though it's mostly a responsibility of the hired attorney). Also, I am not sure but the TM classes here must be different.
6E is used as a proxy for SEXY. And Mahindra is in a different business and that’s one of their models. In that sense Tata Indigo was on roads much before Indigo air, how much did Indigo pay royalty to Tata?
This is simply over the Top...! Indigo is being unfair and greedy. Looking for easy money I would say. Mahindra's vehicle clearly say's "BE 6E" and as such should be read in full ! Also as you rightly said nobody would confuse an Airline with an Automobile. Also very true Tata never sued Indigo for using their car's name. But TATA being TATA, didn't do so ! They never did have the reputation of Witch hunting. I think Indigo could also sue other Airlines for having "6E" number for their Seats ! Nobody calls INDIGO, 6E anyway....They call it simply INDIGO, so where is the confusion ??
Mahindra doesn't mind copying other existing brands name and model, their first choice, brand is a copy of another existing company in South India, Thar is copy of jeep 😢
In the last three days, three Hindus have been killed by Muslims. 1. 15-year-old Shailesh Yadav was murdered for loving a Muslim girl. 2. Akhtar and Maqsood stabbed Manoj to death in Narayana, Delhi. 3. Pankaj wrote a poem on Mahadev in his Instagram story. Fardeen, Moin and his father killed him. Shailesh was killed by Muslims in front of his daughter. Manoj's brother was also killed by Muslims in August. Pankaj's only fault was worshipping Lord Shiva. The issue is not about the culprits being caught, the issue is that Hindus are being killed for such small things and there is no discussion anywhere.
Just imagine-spending 12,000 crores to create one of the finest vehicles ever produced on Indian soil, only to turn around and say, "You know what this masterpiece needs? A connection to Indigo arguably one of the worst brands" Yeah, because that’s obviously exactly what Mahindra would want.😂😂
Whats in the name... Indigo's claim seems legally weak unless ofcourse they engage a highly paid lawyer to fight the case..Mahindra is a highly hitech pride of India.. for a company like Mahindra trademarks like 6E make very little difference for the loyal customers... It would be magnanimous in the part of Mahindra to change its 6E to 6BEST or 6Love rather than wasting its valuable energy on petty cheap issues .. Indico should concentrate more on giving onboard free water (i really dont know if they do), or free snacks, or even cheaper prices, etc to its clients...
Indigo uses 6E as it sounds "sexy". And Mahindra wants to "Be sexy". Ms Palki didn't want to highlight this part why both of them wants to be only "6E" not 7E or 6B 😉
Tata never sued Indigo for Indigo though.

They did in 2004 but rules were different that time. Indigo got off with that and now the rules changed, Indigo is suing Mahindra

Why, i ask why. It is not like, i was going to buy flight ticket but by mistake bought car 🤨

Mahindra - Just replace 6E with 6C . Cool, Comfort, Charged, Celebrate, Captivate and of course Car
😊😊
They could, but why should they? E is also electric. Indigo is literally claiming an alphabet and a number, it is ridiculous.
What happens to Class 6E in school, flat 6E and so on in case Indigo decides to….,,

Now lndigo
