A businessman has denied claims of stealing and using the ‘Chez Sonia’ trademark to run a high-end wine shop and restaurant along Peponi road in Westlands, Nairobi. She sued Sonia, Gonzalez and one Esther Muthoni accusing them of infringing the trade name which she says she registered as Chez Sonia limited. She says Chez Sonia Limited was incorporated in January 2019 to carry out operations as a wine club. Consequently, Sonia according to Salome colluded with Gonzalez and Muthoni to trade the wine bar using the name Chez Sonia without the license of Chez Sonia limited. Gonzalez is also a shareholder of Case De Sonia and Co, the company that owns the Chez Sonia brand.
