Skoda Can't Sell Monte Carlo in India: The Reason Might Make You Laugh

A district court in India has just banned Skoda from selling their new rapid based Monte Carlo in India due to conjunction with copyright infringement. As funny as it sound may be, the case is issued by a clothing brand named Monte Carlo from Punjab which has nothing to do with Automobile industry. As of now, skoda just can't sell the monte carlo in india due to the court order. They did not foresee any trouble with the Monte Carlo name. What's even more interesting is that chevrolet also had a car named after Monte Carlo since 1970 and didn't face any copyright issues. Unless skoda starts producing monte carlo apparel, there is no way in the world that could affect the Monte Carlo fashion company.

What is The Big Deal with Monte Carlo












Most of you may already know this, Monte Carlo is a small town in the Mediterranean coast line. Monte Carlo is most famous for the racing sports events like formula one conducted at the monaco circuit in Monte Carlo. The city has a racing culture and legacy with roots running a long way back in history. So it is quite natural for any automobile manufacturer to pay homage to the racing town with their car models. The law system allows vendors to trademark even names of the cities for their products. So, Skoda will either have to chane the name or will take the matter into higher court. For the time being, the customers will have to wait longer for their booked skoda monte carlo.
