Nestlé launches B577m coffee lawsuit in Thailand

Nestlé has filed a lawsuit against its former business partners in Thailand for rights infringement of the Nescafé trademark.

The trademark owner of Nescafé is seeking damages of 577 million baht from Prayudh Mahagitsiri and Chalermchai Mahagitsiri, according to a company statement dated May 30.

The damages are based on losses incurred during an eight-day halt in Nescafé product sales, following the Minburi Civil Court’s emergency injunction order on April 3 prohibiting Nestlé from manufacturing, outsourcing production, distributing or importing instant coffee products using the Nescafé trademark in Thailand.
