Idea to start a momo joint came to him when he visited an outlet in Guwahati and felt he could have served better momos. With a loan of about 23.5 lakh with an interest rate of 10 per cent, he launched 'Momomia' is 2018. He ensured that the location was prime to ensure good footfall. That also meant higher rent rate.

'Momomia' provides employment to over 200 people across 50+ outlets. Mean while Momomia's customers can choose from 100 difference kinds of momos.

As Mr. Debashish named his firm as "Momomia's", which legal protection should he have also taken?

Trade Mark

Assuming the name "Momomia's" is unique and distinctive, Mr. Debashish should have taken legal protection in the form of a trademark to protect his brand name. A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of goods or services of one party from those of others. By registering a trademark for "Momomia's," Mr. Debashish would have the exclusive right to use the name in connection with the goods or services he offers. This would prevent others from using the name, or a confusingly similar name, in a way that could deceive consumers or dilute the brand's identity.
