bigbasket, an online supermarket backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, has served a cease and desist notice to Coimbatore-based start-up dailybasket.com asking the latter to close down its business and handover its domains. The notice alleges infringement of bigbasket’s trademark and brand.
“We (dailybasket.com) are a tiny online/offline grocery startup currently only serving in Coimbatore. We recently received a cease and desist letter from bigbasket to close down our operations and hand over our domains (ie, our business) to them because we have basket in our brand and we also sell groceries online,” dailybasket posted in a website bbisabully.com .
