Yahoo! has won an interim injunction preventing an Indian tea company from marketing its products using the Yahoo name.

A judge at the Delhi High Court called on the Sarda Trading Company and those involved in selling, distributing and marketing the tea to stick the kettle on and take a tea break until the matter is resolve.

Another hearing is due on March 10, according to a report from the Asia Times Online.

Yahoo! argued that it is an international brand and does licence its mark for food stuffs such as sweets, chocolates and ice-cream. ®
