The Delhi HC has rejected PhonePe’s plea to issue an injunction order against BharatPe for using ‘Pe’ in its name. According to the court’s order issued on April 15, a single judge bench of Justice C Hari Shankar held that PhonePe’s claim that the ‘Pe’ suffix in its trademark had acquired distinctiveness and a secondary meaning to the extent that consumers would invariably associate ‘Pe’ with the company is a “matter of trial”.
