There’s a trending discussion about the JioHotstar domain purchase, so I thought I’d share my own story
Reliance sent me a Legal Notice about the domains reliancejio.com and riljio.com, which I booked back in 2012. Interestingly, Jio was officially announced only in 2015, so do the math! /1
Back then, I was into blogging and often bought domains speculatively. Rumors were floating around that “Jio” might be Reliance’s upcoming brand, so I took a chance and registered those domains, thinking they might turn out to be valuable. /2
Two years later, in 2014, I received a legal notice from Reliance’s team claiming that I was holding their trademarked property. Since they did officially own the trademark, and I was busy with other professional commitments, I decided not to go toe-to-toe with such a big company. /3
