Fintech Firm Wins Trademark Lawsuit, Cognizant Ordered to Remove Logo in India
8 Sep
Summary
- Bombay High Court rules against Cognizant in trademark infringement case
- Cognizant must stop using its logo in India until case is resolved
- Cognizant has removed logo from its Indian website and social media platforms
On September 8th, 2025, the Bombay High Court delivered a significant legal blow to IT giant Cognizant, ordering the company to cease using its logo in India. This ruling comes in the wake of a trademark infringement lawsuit filed by Bengaluru-based fintech firm Atyati Technologies.
The court has reinstated an earlier injunction, requiring Cognizant to refrain from displaying the contested logo until the case is resolved. In compliance with the court's directive, Cognizant has promptly removed its logo from its Indian website and various social media platforms, including Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter). Instead of the logo, the company is now displaying its name across these channels.
This legal setback is a significant development for Cognizant, which has long been a dominant player in the Indian IT landscape. The company now faces the challenge of navigating the trademark dispute and potentially rebranding its operations in the country.
