Registered entity
OwnershipAcquired the Cafe Bazaar Android app store from Hezardastan on 22 Jan 2025 (forming Tapsell Group).
Entity notesRESOLVED 2026-08-20 (registry pass): Tapsell is a BRAND of پگاه داده کاوان شریف, the Pegah Holding legal entity, which holds the تپسل trademark; the company's own about page self-describes as part of that entity. No separate Tapsell registration exists, so the shared registry identity is a correct parent anchor, not an error.
