Cognizant Challenges Bombay High Court's Trademark Ruling in Supreme Court
Cognizant, a big tech company, is in a legal fight over its logo.
A smaller company called Atyati also uses a similar logo.
The court initially said Cognizant couldn't use its logo because it looked too much like Atyati's.
This decision was then overturned, but another court brought back the ban on Cognizant using its logo.
Cognizant has now taken the case to the Supreme Court, hoping to get the decision changed.
The case is about whether Cognizant's logo is too similar to Atyati’s, potentially confusing customers.
Cognizant is also involved in other legal issues regarding employee poaching and trade secrets.
Cognizant is challenging a Bombay High Court order in the Supreme Court regarding its hexagonal logo.
Atyati Technologies claims Cognizant's logo infringes on its trademark, which has been in use since 2019.
The Bombay High Court initially restrained Cognizant from using its logo but later lifted the ban before restoring it.
Cognizant stopped using the contested logo on its website and social media after the latest order.
The company is also involved in multiple other legal disputes related to poaching and trade secrets.
