Three trademark applications have been filed for the name 'Cockroach Janata Party', a satire social media handle that has rapidly gained a large following. The account has surpassed the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party's Instagram follower count.
Three separate trademark applications were filed seeking rights over the name "Cockroach Janata Party", PTI reported, citing official records on Monday.
This comes after the satire social media handle crossed 10 million followers on Instagram, more than the ruling party, the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). Launched a few days ago, Cockroach Janta Party's account initially blew past 3 million Instagram followers within 78 hours and has since surged to over 16 million on May 21.
The filings, by lesser-known individuals, come amid growing attention around the satirical political outfit that had attracted millions of views and followers within days of launch for its online commentary and digital presence.
While the X account of the Cockroach Janata Party was withheld in India, the applications filed with the Trade Marks Registry portal seek trademark registration under the category for providing political and social services.
Separate applications have been filed by individuals Azim Adambhai Jam and Akahnd Swaroop, about whom not much is known, and by a proprietorship COCKROACH JANTA PARTY.
