BOMBAY HC GRANTS INTERIM RELIEF TO BURGER KING

The Bombay HC granted Burger King an ad-interim order on Monday, prohibiting a Pune food joint from using the trademark 'Burger King' until further notice. The court will review Burger King's appeal on 06th September 2024. Earlier, a Pune court had allowed the Pune eatery to use the trademark 'Burger King' and dismissed Burger King's request for a permanent injunction and damages of 20 lakhs rupees.
Burger King's counsel, Hiren Kamod, noted that an interim injunction had been in place since January 2012, but the Pune food joint resumed using the trademark following the District Court's decision. The HC will examine the trial court's final judgment and decide on Burger King's request for a stay on the Pune court's order after further review.

On 24th July 2026, the Delhi High Court answered that question, at least for now. In ANI Media Pvt. Ltd. v. Open AI OpCo LLC, Justice Amit Bansal declined to grant an interim injunction against OpenAI, holding, on a prima facie, interim stage view, that the company’s use of ANI’s news content to train its large language models (“LLMs”) falls within the fair dealing exception under Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957
