  Burger King Corporation's trademark suit against a Pune restaurant of the same name

  LiveLaw (7 Mar 2025): a Pune court dismissed the brand owner's infringement suit in Aug 2024 because the Pune restaurant was a prior user; the Bombay High Court restrained the Pune restaurant in Dec 2024, and the Supreme Court stayed that restraint in 2025 and issued notice. The plaintiff is Burger King Corporation, not Restaurant Brands Asia; the article does not say whether the Indian master franchisee is a party.

About the Brand

Burger King India Outlet Network

These figures are for the parent company as a whole group, not this brand alone — separate from what a single franchise outlet earns.

A profitable franchisor doesn't mean profitable franchisees. These are the company's numbers, not an outlet's. A franchisor can grow on fees and supplies while outlets struggle — talk to existing franchisees and see their accounts before you decide.
