Dispute Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) sued Sambhu Das for infringement of copyright and trade dress related to their 'WHEEL' and 'ACTIVE WHEEL' detergent brands.

Outcome / Ruling
The court granted an ad interim injunction restraining Sambhu Das from selling 'ACTIVE SANGITA' in packaging similar to HUL’s ‘ACTIVE WHEEL,’ and appointed a Special Officer to inventory infringing goods at the respondent's premises.
