SAO PAULO (Reuters) -A Brazilian subsidiary of China’s ride-hailing company DiDi Global, called 99, filed a lawsuit on Monday against Chinese rival Keeta before a Sao Paulo court for alleged trademark infringement and unfair competition, according to court documents seen by Reuters.
The lawsuit comes days after Keeta, which is entering the Brazilian market, filed a lawsuit against 99 in Brazil, alleging its food delivery app 99Food was trying to prevent some of its partner restaurants from entering into contracts with more than two delivery platforms.
