Dispute Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) sued USV Private Limited alleging disparagement of HUL's Lux, Dove, Pears, and Rin soap brands through an advertising campaign promoting Sebamed cleansing bar. The campaign implied HUL’s soaps were akin to detergent bars by referencing pH levels, damaging their reputation.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court partly allowed HUL’s interim application, restraining USV from airing advertisements that disparage HUL's products or imply their inferiority through pH comparisons, while allowing the modified campaign to continue pending further proceedings.
