restored after legal tussle with global brand Dunkin Donuts Munchkin, the well-known home bakery run by a young mother Dushinka Subramaniam, is back in business. Munchkin saw a temporary halt when an ex parte order was obtained by Dunkin Donuts, an American multi-national corporation hitherto unknown in Sri Lanka. The court order stopped Dushinka from using the name Munchkin. However on 18 December 2014, the High Court lifted the enjoining order and the interim injunction which had been placed on Subramaniam in August. The order was against the use of the Mark ‘Munchkin’ which has been synonymous with Dushinka since September 2010 and had filed her trademark application in 2011. Dushinka Subramaniam was represented by Romesh De Silva, PC and Shanaka Cooray, Attorney at law, instructed by Varners. The plaintiff was represented by Avindra Rodrigo, Imesha de Silva and instructed by F.J & G De Saram. Munchkin is now back in business with their delicious goodies, including their famous macaroons and red velvet cupcakes. For more details visit her Facebook page www.facebook.com/Munchkinworld.
