United States giant Burger King Corporation has filed an appeal with the Bombay High Court on Monday challenging a district court judgement over the alleged trademark infringement case against its namesake eatery in Pune. According to the media reports, the Bombay HC granted an interim stay on the Pune court`s order in the Burger King trademark infringement case. 

Burger King had lost a 13-year-old legal battle against its namesake eatery in Pune after the city court had dismissed the trademark infringement case filed by the fast-food joint.  District Judge Sunil Vedpathak, in the order dated August 16, had said that the Pune eatery had been operating before the US burger joint entered Indian markets and that the latter could not prove that the Pune eatery had infringed its trademark.
