| | Julien Tuyau | 23/08/2009 | | | | C’est ce qu’il nous déclare dans un entretien accordé à travers courriel.
Comment avez-vous appris qu’une discothèque mauricienne utilisait illégalement la franchise Pacha?
Nous avons été informés par des Mauriciens à travers notre site web (http://www.pacha.com). On nous également envoyés des e-mails pour nous demander si ce club opérait officiellement sous la franchise Pacha.
Quelle a été votre réponse et avez-vous essayé de contacter la discothèque mauricienne?
Nous avons informé notre homme de loi de la situation et c’est lui qui a, par  la suite, contacté la discothèque mauricienne. Nous avons procédé ainsi, car nous n’avons jamais reçu de demande pour l’ouverture d’une boîte sous la franchise Pacha venant de l’île Maurice.
Et quelle a été la réponse des dirigeants de la boîte?
Ils ont affirmé qu’ils sont dans la légalité et qu’ils continueront leurs activités. Ils ont aussi déclaré qu’ils sont «an original Pacha Club.»
Qu’allez-vous faire pour que ce club cesse d’opérer illégalement sous votre franchise. Aurez-vous recours à la justice?
Oui, naturellement, nous devons protéger la marque déposée de Pacha partout où elle est exploitée. Nous devons mettre un arrêt à toutes ces illégalités dans le monde entier. Nous prendrons des actions légales contre la discothèque Pacha Mauritius.
Mais quelles sont les étapes à suivre pour obtenir légalement la franchise Pacha?
Pacha a actuellement 24 clubs à travers le monde et nous avons également plusieurs projets intéressants en cours. Le procédé pour obtenir une franchise de Pacha est simple. Ceux qui sont intéressés doivent nous présenter toutes les informations qu’on leur demande. Si nous pensons que ce projet est intéressant pour notre marque, nous ferons alors une visite pour rencontrer ces personnes et pour regarder le lieu. Pour Pacha, les choses les plus importantes sont: Les personnes (facteur humain), le site et la ville. |

| Unknown | | | Oh now I see clearer, you have very interesting points, I think you are right. After all, Pacha International should pay Pacha Mauritius for actually using their brand name!!! | | | Tirod | | | Unknown dumb one, to ask yourself the same question regarding your relationship with Spain.
Your comments as the wise knowledgeable one who consider dictionaries as obsolete speaks for itself - which by extension makes your branding views basically primary comparable to an undergraduate marketing student who still hasn't grasp the subject. Seems that branding has become trendy since a couple of years, rippling to the Mauritian shores making brand victims like yourself without the slightest clue of the wider spectrum involved. Bless you, as a result Pacha Spain home page is thrashing out Mauritius as copy cat to the whole world.
Nearly all Mauritian clubs and restaurants to stop their activities according to your strict brand specifications enacted by legislation under western rule.
May be Cherry Coke should sue Pacha for the use of the cherry logotype! | | | Unknown | | | Hey Tirod, are you some kind of partner in the Pacha Mauritius or just a fan? Seriously, you’ve been using big big words in your last post, but unfortunately, none of these justifies the act, I’m sorry. The case still remain that Pacha Mauritius copied the brand name of some bigger organization. Nevertheless, you have your point of view and I’m glad that you at least have one and fighting for it, but man, I’m not gonna waste my time making you understand today’s reality. And oh, by the way, the McDonald example you gave previously “was” pretty good. But to relate this same idea to the Pacha case in question; is there any chance that the name of the owners of the Pacha Mauritius is/are “Pacha”? Finally, for the Banana Cafe that you mentioned, I totally agree that there is a lot of Banana Cafa around the world, and this is because there isn’t one who officially registered the brand name to exploit it around the world at the very beginning unlike Pacha International (Do yourself a favour, go to google.com, first search for pacha and then banana café, and let me know if you can spot the difference). All the examples that you have been giving are totally irrelevant, unrelated and sorry about that but I must say “stupid”. Tirod, I’m not here to change your point of view, therefore, all I can say is good luck into convincing yourself that Pacha Mauritius owners are in their right to copy the brand name of some other international big corporation brand. | | | Tirod | | | Manuvero, Pacha Moris au rythme sega, est ce moins bien que la house d'Ibiza??? Qui d'ailleurs joue que de la musique importee Anglosaxon. A mon avis nos Dj sont de niveau superieure si on leur donnait la chance. The West imposes its law worldwide - whenether it suits them to make more money, terms of conditions are swiftly drafted to protect their so-call-creation. In the land of plenty, people are employed by big corporations to register words & names from encyclopedias or names of existing companies who haven't yet registered, and fake ownership that would later be resold at high prices. Colonisation, trade barriers against poorer economies, globilisation and their financial system is slashing deep down to the bone marrow of third world countries. Copyright should be granted to individuals for their artistic creation but when clubs want to go global playing music originated by others, selling alcohol sponsored by global brands (usually western) to kids, there nothing creative, except financial interests.
There's a 'Banana Cafe' in almost every country. Who can claim copyright over BANANE? May be monkeys in monkey businesses! Pacha Espana rules in Spain but not in Mauritius where legislation is quite different.
| | | Bryan | | | To Tirod: Please don't be ridiculous. They are using an internationally registered name and the same logo!!! There is a line not to cross! We are not talking only about the word pacha but the branding.
Seriously you really think they are in the right? | | | Unknown | | | My dear Tirod, you still make your research in dictionaries? We stopped using that for the past 10 years man!!! Is this situation really that hard to understand? Ok then, you say Pasha or Pacha is some kind of Military and Civil Officers name in Turkey or Northern Africa. But does those Military and Civil Officers deal in the entertainment business? Is it really comparable according to you? If yes, what’s holding you from making a soft drink called CocaCola? Or Shoes called Nike? And so on… Ah anyway, win or no win – we all know that Pacha Mauritius copied that name from Pacha International to make the club sound grandiose and that shows a lack of ethics, creativity, originality, professionalism, and bla bla bla . I feel sorry for them. (Dans Maurice, quand kebab vender, tous dimounes vend kebab). | | | Tirod | | | Pasha ou Pacha "Used formerly as a title for military and civil officers, especially in Turkey and northern Africa" dans le dictionaire. Si ce nom est enregistre a Maurice, je ne vois pas pourquoi Pacha Espagne veut imposer sa loi chez nous comme si ils ont invente ce mot. Les Turques devraient eux aussi les poursuivre pour l'utilisation de ce mot...
Meme le geant Mc Donald a perdu des cas contre les petits gens qui utilisaient ce nom qui etait leurs noms de famille.
| | | Bryan | | | To pachi : are you really this dumb? It really looks like you're pretty bored at home for not having school and wanted to ask a silly question.
Go and do you're home work and it might answer your question. | | | Manuvero | | | Je m'y attendais un peu.... une boîte comme Pacha à Maurice aurait fait un réel tolet en venant s'implanter!! Son ouverture est passée presque inaperçue. En plus les DJs officiant là-bas n'ont même pas le niveau des DJ du vrai Pacha!! Et ce commentaire vient d'une adepte de ce style de musique... | | | Unknown | | | You're just a LOL man, this is from far the stupidest thing I've ever read, LOL. If you want, you can call your kid Pacha, and you won't have any problem legally for that, unless you are making money on his name in the entertainment business. I think you will understand this problem only when it applies to you in the other way round, if you were the owner of some big companies (Let's call it ‘Gopia’) earning money big time through all your hard work, then other little companies seeing you making big money on the corporate brand name Gopia, they start using it to make some money of their own. Then you may tell me, you don't care since they won't be making immense sum of money in such a little country as Mauritius, but the problem is not only about money my friend, it's also about a reputation to keep. I suppose that you are either Pacha Mauritius owner, big friend, or big fan for making such a comment, as for me, I don’t ever care what happens to that club in Mauritius but if they were to go to court, the Pacha Mauritius doesn’t stand a chance unfortunately. | | | Citoyen | | | Bonjour,
All respect dear mr pachi.... There is a law called copyright.
Suppose you create a tshirt brand name xxx and you have worked for it for ten years.
Then you find non original ones on the market at lower prices.
How will you react.
Thanks

Dominique Dherve : «Ces plantes qui reviennent sont des porte-drapeaux»
C’est un projet tout à fait exceptionnel : ramener des espèces endémiques disparues à la vie et les réintroduire dans nos forêts. L’une de ses chevilles ouvrières nous raconte comment quelques cellules d’une graine peuvent sauvegarder une espèce toute entière et bien plus encore. Le Directeur du Conservatoire botanique national de Brest nous en parle. | | | | | | | Jean-Claude de l’Estrac: « Je trouve la nation plus forte que beaucoup d’entre nous s’imaginent »
La nation, la citoyenneté, l’éthique. Ces sujets ne sont pas souvent débattus. Jean-Claude de l’Estrac qui a été éditorialiste, auteur d’ouvrages sur l’histoire de Maurice et ministre de la République les aborde et se prononce avec une clarté qui témoigne d’une réflexion approfondie sur ces thèmes à portée sociétale. | | | | | | | Bissoon Mungroo, proche collaborateur de Sir Anerood Jugnauth : «Ramgoolam a piégé le MSM avec Medpoint»
Bissoon Mungroo, proche collaborateur de sir Anerood Jugnauth (SAJ) – le seul à avoir été présent au Réduit le jour de l’annonce de sa démission – affirme que les gens ont peur de montrer leur soutien à l’ancien président de la République par peur de représailles. Presque deux mois après la démission de SAJ, il déclare que ce dernier n’est pas déçu du manque de momentum, mais qu’il est, au contraire, en train de labourer le terrain. | | | | | | | Rekha Issur-Goorah : “Where there is proposed reform, there is resistance”
It was an unpretentious, calm and down-to-earth registrar that we met to try and shed some light on the polemic which has rocked the university this week. She agreed to give her side of the story. A side which is little known. | | | | | | | Jairaj Sonoo : «Une plus grande ouverture du capital au public prochainement»
