The main reason for the popularity of this party was its witty political comments and digital campaigns. Many users described it as a new online trend taking a dig at the current political environment. However, later the X account of this organization was blocked in India, after which its discussion increased further.
Three different people claimed
According to records, three separate applications have been filed to obtain a trademark on the name Cockroach Janta Party. These include Azim Adambhai Jam, Akhand Swaroop and a proprietorship firm named COCKROACH JANTA PARTY.
In these applications, registration of this name has been sought under the category of providing political and social services. At present, there is not much public information available about these applicants.
Increased interest in trademarks

Experts believe that if a name is being used on a large scale, then the trademark can prove to be important in future for branding, merchandise or digital campaigns.
What will happen next?
Now it will be interesting to see which application the trademark registry gives priority to and whether the name Cockroach Janta Party gets official trademark protection or not. At present, this matter has come out of social media and has become a part of legal discussion.
