Down N’ Out – Down on their luck
In-N-Out Burgers, Inc v Hashtag Burgers Pty Ltd [2020] FCA 193
Sydney burger chain Down N’ Out is looking to appeal Federal Court Justice Anna Katzmann’s ruling in a case brought by American fast food giant In-N-Out Burgers, Inc. (In-N-Out). In her decision handed down earlier this year, Justice Katzmann found that Down N’ Out infringed In-N-Out’s registered trade marks and engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct and passing off.

The determination of compensation will take place after any appeal.
