‘Consumers don’t do meticulous comparisons’: Kerala High Court backs LAZZA in HAZZA copyright row

What Happened

Kerala High Court refused to overturn an interim injunction favoring LAZZA in a trademark dispute with HAZZA. Justice S Manu noted consumers rarely conduct detailed trademark comparisons during routine purchases. LAZZA sells ice cream and beverages while HAZZA operates a Malabar and Middle Eastern restaurant. The court rejected HAZZA's appeal against the September 2025 injunction, citing consumer behavior patterns and visual similarity considerations.
