Starbucks has initiated litigation against a bakery branded as The Cake Bucks on the premise of similarly sounding tradename/trademark. The Hon’ble Delhi High Court has issued notice dragged a local bakery called The Cake Bucks to the Delhi High Court, alleging trademark violations by the use of a similar-sounding name. This case is supplementary to the other branding legal battles being tackled by companies like Burger King, H & M, Walmart wherein the concept of globally well - known trademark as against its presence in India shall be adjudicated. It has opened a Pandora box whereby on one hand are the Indian entrepreneurs who novate a brand, get it registered and commence business to build their brand and goodwill and on the other hand are MNC’s who enter Indian market recently and claim priority and protection from their registration and business activity across the world. The finality of these matters shall bring clarity in the matter.

Recently Facebook launched its “Disputed” tag whereby the stories which ...
... are not correct can be tagged as disputed. The same is being done by organizations which cross check the facts and then tag it accordingly. The tentative process shall be that stories marked as “Fake news” shall be shared with the organizations to check the veracity and if they confirm that it is misleading, the news shall come with “Disputed” tag and details as to why the same might be fictitious. The news shall then go lower in the feed and the users will receive a warning for not repeating such act.
