Category Judgement

The petitioner, a US-based business that was first established in 1954 as BURGER KING, is the second-largest short-carrier hamburger company in the world, with more than 18,000 outlets across 100 countries and 11 million daily customers. The Burger King logo was originally registered in India in 2010, and since 1979, it has been registered in 122 countries. In India, it started by strolling through more than 250 eateries in 2014. In 2011, the petitioner became aware of respondent no. 1’s class 43 trademark software, to which the registry had objected on the grounds that the petitioner’s mark was used. Despite applying for notice, the respondent’s mark became registered in 2016 without the petitioner’s knowledge. As a result of the petitioner’s infringement complaint, a 2014 injunction order was upheld in 2018.
