Nescafé now resumes sales as normal
Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court in Black Case TorPhor 58/2568 has issued an order affirming that Nestlé (Thai) Ltd. has the exclusive right to use the “Nescafé” and “เนสกาแฟ” trademark. This court order allows us to resume using the said Nescafé trademark in relation to its registered goods, effective from Friday, 11 April 2025.
In light of this positive outcome, we are pleased to announce that we will resume the full operation of Nescafé products for Thailand market with immediate effect. We are informing our customers and trade partners that we can now take orders for Nescafé products.
Nestlé is pleased with the court order as it will stop severe impacts on the small business operators, retailers, our suppliers and their employees in the Nescafé value chain, which were caused by the previous injunction issued by the Minburi Civil Court. Consumers will also be able to continue enjoying the complete range of Nescafé products available in Thailand.
Following the Minburi Court order on 03 April 2025, Nestlé has been making all possible efforts to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, we are pleased to receive the affirmation from the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court which allows us to resume normal Nescafé operations.
Nestlé confirms that we have always respected the rule of law and have strictly complied with the terms in the contract with Quality Coffee Products. We have complete evidences of our compliance, and earlier we won the case at the International Court of Arbitration, which Mr. Prayudh Mahagitsiri along with his family members including Mr. Chalermchai Mahagitsiri and Ms. Ausana Mahagitsiri, who are QCP shareholders, personally attended the arbitration hearing session.
Nestlé would like to thank all consumers and stakeholders who have provided their support to Nescafé during this challenging time.
Nestlé is fully committed to Thailand and will continue to invest for the benefits of our customers, consumers, our employees, the farmers we work with and our business partners.
