Dispute Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited (formerly Hindustan Lever Limited) sued Ashique Chemicals, Aghin Chemicals, and P.C. Thahir for trademark infringement related to the use of 'SunPlus' by the defendants, who were selling soaps and detergents, infringing upon Hindustan Unilever’s marks ‘Sun’, ‘Sunlight,’ and ‘Sunsilk.’ The plaintiff sought an injunction restraining the defendants from using 'SunPlus' or any deceptively similar mark.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court dismissed the infringement claim due to Hindustan Unilever's long-standing non-use of the 'Sun' mark and lack of intention to use it, finding that this undermined their right to protection against infringement.
