| Comment | That's not what happened. The argument is over franchising rights, not the names of restaurants themselves. Both the Manchester Sugo and the Glasgow Sugo are trying to open *chains* of restaurants, and they are competing over the right to name the chain, not an individual restaurant. Loads of restaurants have the same name, that's not an issue. Glasgow Sugo's claim is that Manchester Sugo, by opening a *second* Sugo restaurant with the same name, is violating their trademark as the Glasgow Sugo registered the trademark in order to franchise it.
At worst, it's just two competing business interests, neither is the good guy. It's all just hipster business twats either side of the border. |
