Dispute Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) sued Mr. P. Ramar and Mullai Salt Company for trademark infringement and passing off, alleging that the defendants' use of 'ANNAPOORANI' for salt was deceptively similar to HUL’s registered trademark 'ANNAPURNA'. The plaintiff sought an injunction against the defendant’s use of the mark and damages.
Outcome / Ruling
The Madras High Court decreed the suit in favor of Hindustan Unilever Limited, granting permanent injunctions restraining the defendants from using ‘ANNAPOORANI’ and ordering destruction of infringing materials. The claim for rendition of accounts was dismissed.
