MUMBAI (Reuters) - Starbucks Corp. (NasdaqGS:SBUX - News ) is opposing Indian entrepreneur Shahnaz Husain's plans tostart a chain of coffee shops called Starstrucks, the Mint business paper reported.
The U.S. coffee shop chain has told India's Controller-General of Patents, Designs and Trademark that the name isdeceptively similar to its own name, the paper said.
Husain, an herbal beauty specialist who has a range of skincare and haircare products and salons named after her, is notwilling to give up the name, the paper said.
"Why should I give it up? Hundreds of others are deceptively similar. What to do? They have opposed and we will fight,"Husain, called the Herbal Queen, told Mint.
Husain plans to open 25 stores in a year. The shops will have a glamour theme, with posters of movie stars, the paper said.
"My concept's totally different," she said.
Starbucks, the latest in a line of foreign companies facing branding challenges in India, is reported to be awaiting permissionfrom the Indian government to open its coffee shops in a joint venture with an Indonesian franchisee and PantaloonRetail India Ltd.'s (Bombay:PART.BO - News ) founder Kishore Biyani.
The government had sought some clarifications from Starbucks on its joint venture arrangement, local papers have said.
Viewpoint: Good Luck trying to enforce copyright law in India. I hope the Starbucks lawyers work some overtime to get thisresolved.

Larry Birkhead's lawyer tells TMZ there will be no negotiating with Howard K. Stern.
Debra Opri says the only subject of negotiation is "how fast he [Stern] will produce the child for a DNA test and how quicklyhe will allow that child to go to California with her real father."
As TMZ has been reporting, Stern has been asking Birkhead for some involvement in Dannielynn's financial affairs afterpaternity is established. Now Opri says, "There were never any deals. It was a one-sided discussion."
Opri tells TMZ she did not want to respond to Stern's overtures until after the funeral. Birkhead's hardline stance now puts theball in Stern's court -- will he submit Dannielynn for DNA testing or will the fight escalate?
Viewpoint - They finally buried Anna. Now Stern needs to prove paternity. It looks doubtful for him to be able to keep controlof the money. Too bad for him. NOT!
