🔸 In April 2015, “ZARA”, a well-known fashion brand owned by Inditex Group sued an Indian tapas restaurant in Chennai, ”Zara Tapas Bar” for trademark infringement. Delhi High Court ruled in favour of the fashion brand ordering the tapas restaurant to change its name. The court held that ZARA had been used by the fashion brand since 1975 and has had a presence in India since 1986 and also had opened its first retail outlet in India since 2010. It is undoubtedly that ZARA has a strong presence in India and the tapas restaurant wanted to benefit from the reputation and goodwill of ZARA by adopting a tradename so similar to the ZARA brand.
