Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Monday extended its interim order restraining a Pune-based eatery from using the name ‘Burger King’ until a trademark infringement plea by the US giant Burger King Corporation is heard and disposed of.

This means that the eatery cannot revert to its popular name until further orders as the high court has stayed the effect and implementation of the July 16 Pune court order that dismissed the US-based firm’s trademark infringement suit.

The high court, pending appeal, also restrained the Pune eatery and others from infringing Burger King’s well-known trademark.

The multinational fast-food corporation has sued the eatery named ‘Burger King’ located on East Street, Pune, which is owned by Anahita Irani and Shapoor Irani, claiming infringement of trademark laws.

Following the pending legal proceedings, the Pune joint began to call itself ‘Burger’.

Pune district court had earlier held that Pune-based ‘Burger King’ eatery was operational before the US company entered the Indian market and that the latter failed to prove trademark infringement.
