Hight Court ordered Pune restaurant from using 'Burger King' name
Burger King Row: Burger King Corporation filed an application in the High Court requesting to hear the case against Pune restaurant owners Anahita Irani and Shapoor Irani and impose an interim stay on the use of the name "Burger King" till the final settlement.
The Bombay High Court has banned a Pune restaurant from using the name 'Burger King'. An interim order was issued in this regard on Monday. It was banned until the hearing of the trademark infringement petition of American giant company Burger King Corporation was finally heard and a verdict delivered.
The company had moved the High Court in August against the order passed by a Pune court in the same month dismissing the petition filed for alleged trademark infringement against the similarly-named restaurant.
Burger King Corporation had filed an application in the High Court seeking an interim stay on the use of the name "Burger King" till the hearing and final settlement of the case against Pune restaurant owners Anahita Irani and Shapoor Irani.
A division bench of Justice AS Chandurkar and Justice Rajesh Patil passed its order on the interim application on Monday, saying that the appeal filed by the company should be heard and all evidence should be considered. The court said, "Till then, the interim order (restraining the Pune-based restaurant from using the name Burger King) is necessary to continue."
