Dishoom has launched a legal battle over the cockney rhyming slang for curry. The restaurant chain, which can be found in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham, has asked for the term Ruby Murray to be freed up by the Intellectual Property Office. At the moment, a man named Tariq Aziz has the rights to the name for food and drink uses, with an IPO filing showing he registered the trademark in 2019.
Mr Aziz now has until 15 July to indicate whether he will offer a defence.If he fails to do so, the trademark will be revoked and removed from the register. A Dishoom spokesperson told the Money team it doesn't believe the trademark's owner has ever used it. 'There is a principle of 'use or lose it' in trademark law and we have therefore asked the UK IPO to remove the Ruby Murray mark from the register,' they said.
