Belagavi Firm Challenges Anthropic PBC Trademark

The Registrar of Trademarks in India accepted an application from Belagavi-based Anthropic Software Private Ltd on February 19, 2026, citing prior-use rights in the name "Anthropic." The firm, founded by Mohammad Ayyaz Mulla, has filed a rectification petition and a lawsuit seeking cancellation of U.S.-based Anthropic PBC's Indian trademark and requested an interim injunction; the next hearing is March 9, 2026.
Scoring Rationale
Official registrar ruling and active litigation raise relevance, limited novelty and regional scope reduce broader impact.
