Supreme Court allows Pune eatery to use Burger King Mark

In a dispute for the use of Burger King Trademark, by a local eatery in Pune, the Supreme Court stayed the Bombay High Court order and allowed the Pune eatery to use the name ‘Burger King’ until the matter is decided by the Bombay High Court. The matter originated from the 2024 decision of a Pune district court, where the court ruled in favour of the local eatery, named Burger King, citing “prior and honest use”. [Anahita Irani v.
