Recently, the Delhi High Court permanently restrained a Bengaluru-based cake shop from using the name ‘Facebake’, ‘Facecake’ or any other Facebook trademarks for its products and services. The order was the result of a suit filed by Meta Platforms that owns Facebook.
‘Facebake’ was also using the same font and blue-on-white colour scheme popularised by the social media giant.

In a trademark infringement action by BMW, the Delhi High Court in 2020 granted an interim injunction restraining an e-rickshaw maker from using the mark ‘DMW’.
......
In the Starbucks Corporation versus Sardarbuksh Coffee case, the Delhi High Court in 2018 granted interim relief in favour of Starbucks and directed the defendant to use the name ‘Sardarji-Bakhsh’
......
However, Burger King and Burger Singh have been coexisting peacefully. Many pizza outlets with similar names also exist in the same space. Legal experts say that this is because terms like ‘burger’ are wide and can’t be associated with just one brand.
