Canadian Press says that Tim Hortons will seek to shut down a knock-off restaurant in India that uses a name and branding which is an outrageous copy of the Canadian firm. Tim Hottens, located in Yamunanagar, India, is two letters away from the coffee chain in its name. Its logo and branding mimics the Canadian chain’s as well. The font and colour of the name in its logo is essentially identical. Tim Hottens also uses the phrases “always fresh” and “cafe & bake shop,” as well as the red-hued striped background in its logo. Tim Hottens did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Canadian Press.
