Buffet restaurant pioneer Sizzler is seeking a quick win in its trade mark stoush with Brisbane-based Burger Urge tossed, telling a court it will be seeking summary judgment in its favour.

The Brisbane-based burger chain at the centre of a trademark stoush with buffet bar pioneer Sizzler has agreed to refrain from its allegedly infringing trade mark use until the case is decided.

A court has barred US drug company Merck Sharp & Dohme from denying that an agreement made with German pharmaceutical company Merck KGaA was governed by German law, settling a key question before a trade mark case between the two drug giants goes to trial.
