The Delhi High Court granted a temporary injunction to Moods Hospitality which owns the ‘Yo! China’ chain of restaurants.
The injunction restrains Nestle India from using the word ‘Yo’ in relation to its ‘Maggi Cuppa Mania’ instant noodles ‘Masala Yo!’ and ‘Chilly Chow Yo!’.
Barely a week later, this order was stayed by a division Bench of the Delhi High Court comprising Justices Siddharth Mridul and Manmohan.
‘Yo! China’ inter alia sells cooked noodles under the name ‘Yo! Box’ and it says that Nestle’s product is in direct competition to its brand.
