There was already a burger king in Melbourne that told them to fuck off and they had to change their name

Oh ya you lil Australian dipshits think you won this round, just you damn kangaroo strokers wait,

The Royals of the (Burger) Kingdom have decided upon an offensive action plan against Australia, expect your foolish Island to be bombed into the ground by our Royal Air Force and expect Sydney to burn to the ground under the fury of the Kings Royal Navy.

This is what you get for your disobedience, foolish colony, may you forever fear the day when flaming burgers drop out of the sky, exploding on impact as you realize, and scream to yourself, why, oh why, didn't we succumb to the almighty Burger King ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

>>12215986
>why don’t Burger King sue themselves
What a fucking dumb cunt!

>>12215986
Hungry Jack's is owned by BK; they just can't use the "Burger King" name since there was already another restaurant that trademarked the name over there before BK had planned to expand their business in Straya.

In a similar fashion, Dunkin' Donuts is known as "Dunkin' Coffee" in Spain due to a bakery product industry already owning the rights to the word "donut".

>why is burger king called hungry jacks in australia
>why doesnt burger ki g sue them?
You started by acknowledging they are the same company. Why would you then suggest they sue themselves as if they were sepperate companies?

Holy shit, fuck off reddit.

>>12216506
The Burger King tried. Hungry Jack raped him and his dog

>>12216743
Whats "reddit" about pointing out retardity?

>>12217858
Being like the 8th person in the thread to point it out and still thinking you're being original.

>>12216712
>owning the rights to the word "donut".
how is that even legal? That's like if I just one day said "I own bread" and everyone had to go along with it

>>12217949
Donut is not a Spanish word.
What’s more, i don’t know Spanish copyright law but why assume it’s the same as where you live?

>>12217926
>replied to the first person
you know you can't get away with lying on the internet, anon

>>12217974
Nice deflection, but his point still stands. Unless you've been lurking in the thread since 3AM, you're one of the faggots bandwagoning off the first post

Speaking of burger king, the angry whopper's back.

>>12215986
More importantly why is the logo still the same one as the 90's BK?
Do Aussies not care about capitalism and making their brand pop?

>>12215986
>Why don't burger king sue them for copying their aesthetics and menu?
US jurisdiction doesn't extend to Australia. Hungry Jack's can do what they like and Burger King just has to take it.

>>12218130
original looks better

>>12215986
Wtf this is the hungry Jack's in Hobart Tasmania

>>12215986
Australia actually has the stones to think their country matters so they raised a copyright issue over some shitty dive nobody had ever heard of in Melbourne.

>>12217926
>calling people "reddit"
>accuses others of being unoriginal

Shut the fuck up you faggot redditor.

did reddit shut down today? why are you all flooding here?

>>12218749
this, and I would put money on the Aussie version tasting better too

>>12217949
With a strong enough legal team you can do anything bro. Do you remember the thing with Donald trump and “ you’re fired”? Look in to it it’s kinda funny.

American here and I thinks Aussies are damn cool to tell BK to piss the fuck off.
Could the cunts at Burger King just call it BK or something like that?
I don't know Aussie copyright law but that seems like it would pass unless that guy copyrighted and patened that one too just for fun and giggles.

>>12219993
That was a dumb TV show that had nothing to do with real law you nutjob.

>>12219993
The Australian guy was clearly using it for business and while doing so Burger King had no standing to claim the name since the Aussie guy had it first and was actively using it. Plus Aussies don't like others telling them what to do. ++Aussie side on that.

BK could do something retarded like buy up all his suppliers or something like that, but that would just make a big stink, that would cost more than it would be worth and would show them to be underhanded scumbuckets.

>>12219993
You're a real scumbag, that happened way before Trump was president yet you'll take every excuse to blame everything on him. Are you really that deluded?
I suggest going back into your closest closet and return to fetal position and seethe and cry because your annointed one shillary lost.

>>12219975
Burger King did open as well back in the 90’s and immediately failed, as it was nowhere near as good as Hungry Jacks.

>>12220169
They opted to use one of their existing trademarks instead of making a new one. The parent company that owns Burger King also owns the Hungry Jacks brand of pancake syrup.

They could use the name Burger King today, but the guy with the rights to sell their franchise in Australia is sitting on the Hungry Jack's name and would have to rescind those rights if he were to change the name.

>>12216010
>>12216712
this isn't 100% true.
Yes, there was an existing burger king, and the new Australian franchise guy did pick Hungry Jack (which is a pancake mix iirc), the Burger King company still eventually made their own stores here which resulted in a lawsuit between the original Australian dude and the Yanks who deliberately tried to fuck him over. And the yanks lost and now everything is HJ's.

>>12220208
We have that as well in the states, Hungry Jack is mashed potato and pancake mix.

It's all in fun until copyright and patent lawyers get involved. I suspect that Aussies and Americans would solve this over a beer and not give it a second thought. That's what happens when real people do stuff instead of annoying ass government weenie tots.

>>12220507
Don't blame all folk from the USA for that debacle. I'm from the USA and also on that Aussie guy's side for not only standing up to some bitch international company but also winning.
Cheers!

It's funny how demoshits have such "convenient" memories.

>>12218130
They actually did have plans to update it long ago, but never went into place after a dispute between BK and HJ's which lead to BK shutting down its operations in the early 2000s.

>>12221372
You sound like a huge pussy

>>12219975
They literally taste the same. The names for menu items are identical as well

>>12221716
Aussie is probably better, just from better local livestock.

>>12221745
livestock better than the U.S.?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

>>12220187

After eating whoppers this happened

>>12221745
nah cunt he's right australian beef is top rated in the world

>>12221745
When they add that char grilled flavoring, the quality of meat doesn't make a different. Add sauces and it matters even less. Shit all tastes the same
