Dispute Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited sued MSA International for trademark infringement, alleging that MSA's use of 'Action Wheez' on washing powder deceptively resembled Hindustan Unilever’s registered trademarks ‘WHEEL’ and ‘ACTIVE WHEEL.’ The plaintiff sought an injunction to restrain the defendant from manufacturing, selling, or advertising goods using infringing labels, as well as surrender of materials bearing the infringing mark.
Outcome / Ruling
The suit was decreed in terms of the joint compromise memo, with MSA International agreeing to stop using the infringing trademark and pay damages of Rs. 5,000 to Hindustan Unilever Limited.
