Yulu Bikes has filed a case against Kinetic Green, accusing the latter of infringing its trademark. The lawsuit has been filed at a city civil and sessions court in Bangalore.



According to media reports, Yulu filed the lawsuit in January after Kinetic Green launched its new Zulu range of electric scooters. The company believes that it sounds too similar to its own brand and may cause confusion among customers.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court reportedly ordered a temporary injunction on February 5, 2024. The court has restrained Kinetic Green Energy from using, selling and advertising with ‘YULU’ and associated trademarks or similar words, including ‘ZULU’ and ‘Kinetic Green Zulu’.

In response, Kinetic Green’s lawyers have requested the High Court to advance the date and allow them to file their objections sooner. The final decision on the interim application is expected to be made by the Commercial Court by March 11, 2024.

If these 2 can coexist


Except "ulu", what else is common between these two?

Both should be sued for having this terrible name

Bit rich though on yulu's part, assuming that the first line drawn from zulu would be between themselves and kinetic, rather than kinetic to the tribe.

Not sure why 'Yulu' is so concerned about 'Zulu'. I can't in my wildest dreams think of someone getting confused and buying Zulu instead of Yulu or vice versa. But there is another probability that Yulu team is planning to introduce endless non-commercial models which may look like a proper scooter, taking VW/Skoda inspiration (Txxxxn/Kxxxq) like Fulu, Kulu which people can directly buy. In that case this may be of a concern.
