How does this company exist?
They’re even traded on the stock market. Why isn’t Rolex going after them?

I thought it was going to be those silly Rolex bezel rings or bracelets. How does THAT company exist. LOL

Maybe they had the India trademark before Rolex took an interest in that market? Kind of like how BurgerKing in Australia is called "Hungry Jacks" because they already had a restaurant chain called BurgerKing

Also different product markets, depending on what the law is in India. May not be any likelihood of confusion between watches and what this company does.

Think of a Rolex garden spade or a Cartier car wash…confusion is improbable and highly unlikely.

There's no mistaken one product for another so no legal issue there.

Non comparable to the example you gave. If in the example you provided the industrial outfit was making parts for watches or even mounting Steel supports designed to mount clocks, they’d have a legal issue.

Not only is it in a non-competitive category but there's also a fairly good argument (I would think, at least) for how/why that name makes sense for an industrial ring manufacturer.
At the time it was named (looks like late 70s/early 80s) it was probably considered more of a cheeky play on words than anything else. |

Although founded in 1975 it might be considered riding on the Rolex name regardless of the lack of commonality.
