Trademark infringement: Burger King loses legal battle against namesake Pune eatery
PUNE: US giant Burger King Corporation has lost a 13-year-old legal battle against its namesake eatery in Maharashtra's Pune after a district court here dismissed a suit filed by the company alleging trademark infringement.
Pune district judge Sunil Vedpathak, in the order on August 16, said the city-based eatery 'Burger King' was operating even before the US burger joint opened shop in India and that the latter failed to prove the local food outlet had infringed its trademark.
