The words “Pang Cha” can be used by anybody

[webfact]

 

The Intellectual Property Department has clarified that anyone can use the wording “Pang Cha”, either in Thai or English, because it is a common name. The “Pang Cha” logo and the Thai dessert container design registered with the department by Lukkaithong restaurant are, however, protected. 

 

The department’s director-general, Vuttikrai Leewiraphan, said yesterday (Thursday) that the restaurant in Bangkok has registered its logo, which features the image of a chick that looks like “g” and the wording “Pang Cha”, as a trademark and a patent for the design of the plate that contains the dessert.

 

He said that other businesses cannot use the same logo, but can use the wording “Pang Cha”, adding that, if they have any problem or have received a notification from the owner of the trademark, they can call the department’s advisory centre for advice.
