Coke Studio, the popular music franchise, may be transcending borders with its songs but its recent note to a food blogger hasn’t been as melodious – the owner of ‘Cook Studio’ has taken The Coca Cola Company to court for sending him notices asking him to desist from using the name. Justice Pratibha M Singh of the Delhi High Court has ordered Nikhil Chawla, the owner of ‘Cook Studio’, and The Coca Cola Company, which owns ‘Coke Studio’ trademark, to appear before the Mediation Centre to resolve the trademark-related dispute. Accordingly, both parties are referred to the Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre on May 31, 2022 at 4 pm,” said the court. He had received notices from owners of the Coke Studio in connection with the name. A counsel representing The Coca Cola Company argued before the court that the suit would not be maintainable as the use of the mark ‘Cook Studio’ by Chawla would constitute infringement of its registered trademark ‘Coke Studio’.
