When Donald Trump sued Kotak Mahindra Bank

(A thread on an interesting incident between Mr. Donald Trump and Kotak Mahindra Bank) Image
Back in 2008, Kotak Mahindra Bank had just entered the credit card business. Among the several credit cards launched by the bank one card was named the "Kotak Trump Card".
This news reached Mr. Donald Trump and he was extremely unhappy about it. Image
In 2010, Donald Trump sued Kotak Mahindra Bank for trademark infringement and demanded hefty damages.
He filed a law suit in the Delhi High Court as he felt that his trademark had been violated.
Trump's lawyers demanded that the bank be immediately restrained from issuing credit cards of this name and claimed statutory and equitable rights over the trademark "Trump".
The case continued for 3 years with neither party willing to give up.
The High Court encouraged both parties to solve it via an out of court settlement.
It was finally in the end of October 2013 that a settlement was agreed upon.

And Kotak Mahindra Bank had to rename the Trump Card and launch a fresh brand!

[The End]
