Cheap advertisement and something fishy under the table going on here. Competitors should come up with something better to compete than just trying cheap tricks.

Zen mobile... I remember, Amitabh Bachchan was the brand ambassador of that company. I thought, They're out of business. Well, Asus can also buy the whole company with their copyright name, before next hearing.

I've rarely heard of the company called Zen mobiles, which, obviously is creating this controversy to cash in on Asus and ZenFone's popularity rather than the other way around, Asus has been selling phones under the ZenFone series since years and it's only now that suddenly this company called Zen comes up and accuses them of infringement. Clearly a tactic to become popular by Zen mobiles, but it's rather surprising that the court ruled in their favor.

I know, I know, logically thinking this does not make any sense...
But as is the case, unfortunately, Asus will have to go by some other marketing name.
Most people in India haven't even heard of ZenMobile, so cannibalization of their sales is out of the question.
However, I am not sure how a word like 'Zen' was granted a patent in the first place...but I guess if a super common word like 'Apple' can have a trademark then we can't help it.
Rules are rules, regardless of the size of the company initiating the dispute.

"ride upon the goodwill" of Zen Mobile. LOL. What goodwill does Zen mobile have? Nobody even recognises Zen mobile.

Stupid decision by Indian court.
Zen comes from Buddhism and shouldn't be allowed to be trademark protected by any company.

And here i go thinking zen was the name of a car in india. Definite cash grab by zen-mobile. Can understand the judgement though.

Err body need to calm down! The company wants to settle and make a quick buck. That’s why they dragging ASUS to court. There ain’t no confusion with the names or none of the other reasoning offered here in the comments. It’s all about the money baby!!! 🤪🤪🤪
