Since the Indian government banned the popular short video platform TikTok, we’ve seen many companies try to capture potential markets with similar video products such as Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. However, according to a recent trademark list, TikTok could soon return to India to claim the crown of the most popular short video platform.
It’s been found A recent trademark application by TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, tipster Mukul Sharma (aka stufflistings) suggests the possibility of a platform revival in India.Trademark application Platform called TickTock And recently, it was submitted by a Chinese giant to India’s CGPDTM (Directorate General of Patent, Design and Trademark Management) platform.
Therefore, according to the trademark application, it will be a service related to “Hosting multimedia entertainment content, hosting multimedia and interactive applications.” So, as you can imagine, this is similar to the counterpart currently banned in India. But other than this, there is no real evidence of when it will go on sale domestically.
