Fintech companies PhonePe and BharatPe have settled their five-year legal battle over the use of the ‘Pe’ suffix in their brand names. This resolution ends multiple court disputes, allowing both firms to proceed with trademark registrations and withdraw opposition against each other in the Trade Marks Registry. The companies will comply with settlement obligations before the Delhi and Bombay High Courts. The conflict began in 2021 when PhonePe sued BharatPe over trademark rights and sought to prevent the use of ‘PostPe’. BharatPe countered by challenging several of PhonePe’s trademarks.
