Dispute Summary
Diageo Brands B.V. sued Whiskin Spirits Private Limited alleging infringement of its 'HIPSTER' trademark and passing off of its trade dress, specifically the bottle design and overall appearance of products like 'Black Dog (Black Reserve)' when sold in a 180ml bottle. Whiskin Spirits was selling 'Whiskin Craft Whisky' in a similar 180ml bottle with packaging that Diageo claimed imitated their 'Hipster' design.
Outcome / Ruling
The Delhi High Court granted an interim injunction restraining Whiskin Spirits from manufacturing, selling, or advertising products with packaging similar to Diageo’s ‘Hipster’ design and trade dress.
