Delhi High Court Restrains Pizzerias from Imitating Domino's
Imagine a popular pizza place, like Domino's.
Some other pizza places tried to use names that were very similar, like "Domnic's Pizza."
The court stepped in because it could confuse people and potentially harm their health.
The court said these other places couldn't use those names anymore.
Also, websites like Zomato and Swiggy had to take down those similar listings.
The court is protecting the real Domino's to make sure people know where their pizza is coming from.
Delhi High Court restrained 15 pizzerias from infringing Domino's trademark.
The court cited potential 'disastrous consequences' for human health due to the confusion of similar brands.
The court found the defendants' marks deceptively similar to Domino's.
Online food aggregators Zomato and Swiggy were ordered to remove similar listings.
The order prevents the pizzerias from using similar marks until the next hearing on September 17.
