The offended party for this claim is Telecare Network India Pvt Ltd, which professes to possess the trademarks for Zen and Zen Mobiles. The organization sells highlight telephones just as section level cell phones and (beforehand additionally sold) tablets under this brand name and has asserted that the utilization of a comparable marking by a contender is harming.
