Wow Momo Cannot Claim Monopoly Over The Word ‘Wow’: Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court Today (Dec 19) orally observed that popular restaurant chain Wow Momo cannot claim a monopoly on using the word “Wow” in the restaurant sector Justice Amit Bansal made the observation while hearing Wow! Momo’s plea to halt Hong Kong-based Wow Burger from commencing operations in India. The judge noted that the word ‘Wow’ is very commonly used in the restaurant space and could be too generic to be monopolized. He also expressed reservations about injuncting a global chain from using its trade name.
