Party Poopers

Ezeego.com, a group company of Cox and Kings and has initiated legal proceedings against MMT and has accused the company of violating its trademark and is seeking compensation of $15-20mn.

Ezeego1.com spent close to Rs 33 crore in advertising for popularising its domain name. When MakeMyTrip registered deceptively similar domain names, they not only diverted Ezeego1.com’s user traffic of up to 10-20 million hits, but also gained undue advantage due to the popularity of the domain as a result of the advertising by the complainant. – source
