Passing off is forbidden in Ireland... Passing off is when a trader, in the course of trade, deliberately misrepresents a service/product to consumers with the likelihood that the consumer will purchase the product thinking it is from a differnt company. It can be any part of another company's advertising or goodwill used to imply that the service on offer is from another trusted source; Names Brands Logos Packaging Design Proof of actual deception is not necessary to take a case for passing off in Ireland, the defendant’s intention to mislead is what is necessary. Is this part of the Dunkin' Donut empire in Spain? If not it's a clear-cut case in Ireland for passing-off! But not in Spain? Apparantly, Dunkin' Donuts were not allowed to use their International Name in Spain for trademark reasons. Isn't it comforting that there is still one country who can stand up to these global franchises and force them to change. I have seen beautiful main streets in Eastern Europe destroyed by the main franchise houses. Walking through an old city and finding a host of Burger Kings, McDonalds, Tesco, Toys R Us, Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts clash with the sense of time and history. Their loud designs are for the shopping malls of the New World not translate poorly to modest city centres. As any good advertising they dominate the streetscape by design and occlude the other stuff. But everything here in Ireland is defended by choice and profit! Well done to the Spanish Government to enforce some local harmony and input - even if the above garish facade does not compliment the streetscape where they let it be built. In Ireland the earlier owner of the trademark would have had to fight a hard battle to get the same treatment. We might even have the Tanaiste imposing martial law and negotiating a commercial contract outside the established law of this land. Law in Ireland has become: whoever has a strong hand to play has the right to disregard the laws of our state and the courts of our land. The media here called for the Government to negotiate a deal with a private company in conflict with all established trading practices in Ireland. So, really passing off and trading off somebody else's reputation might not be illegal here soon. Maybe we could solve some of our economic woes by ignoring internationally established practices and allow anybody to register other people's trademarks here in the little Republic of Roguery. If you've loads of money the media will even try to force the government to bend to your will. It's interesting to see how lawlessness is actually born because the cracks are showing right now!

Burger King began in Miami, Florida, and the corporate headquarters is there today, but it is truly an international chain with restaurants in many parts of the world. In fact, for a few years the company was owned by a British conglomerate. Fast food eaters everywhere owe a debt of gratitude to Burger King, even if they don't know it. At one time the fast food giants served burgers only one way - their way - and you could take it or leave it. Then Burger King began advertising that at their restaurants you could "Have it your way." Other fast food franchises had to change in order to compete, and now virtually all of them allow special orders. For a short period of time in my life I was the store manager of a Burger King restaurant. Let me tell you now, it's HARD work. The corporate office says in their jingle that "Special ordrers don't upset us." But when the line is out the door, and three of your kitchen help don't show up for work, and the rest of your staff speak four different languages, and the soda machine starts spewing like Old Faithful, and you run out of cheeze, and the cash register goes haywire, and the bread man delivers the wrong kind of buns, and the toilet in the men's room overflows, and the lady from the health department shows up wearing a stern expression and a complaint in her hand - all at the same time - special orders can sure confuse the hell out of us. Ever since working at a Burger King, I have been MUCH more patient and appreciative of the value and good food they offer. If you only knew of what sometimes goes on behind the scenes at a Burger King you would realize that every time you get your order delivered fresh and correctly it's a small miracle- and they do it hundreds of times a day. Burger King, like most all the other burger joints, has an ever changing menu, with new feature items being offered every few weeks. However, day in and day out, their signature sandwich, the Whopper, is my favorite fast food burger. Add cheeze and bacon and it's even better.
