Dispute Summary
Burger King Corporation sued Ranjan Gupta and others for trademark infringement, alleging they were operating restaurants in Varanasi using the 'Burger King' mark and a logo nearly identical to Burger King Corporation’s registered mark. The Plaintiff claimed the Defendants' use constituted an unfair trade practice and diluted their globally recognized brand.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court confirmed the ad interim injunction granted in 2014, restraining the Defendants from using the 'Burger King' mark and logo, soliciting franchisees under that name, and operating restaurants with those identifiers.
