Dispute Summary
Reckitt Benckiser (India) Pvt. Limited sued Wipro Enterprises (P) Limited alleging that Wipro's comparative advertisement disparaging Dettol hand wash constituted trademark infringement. The advertisement depicted a mother using Santoor hand wash and implied Dettol lacked moisturizing properties, creating a negative impression of the Dettol brand.
Outcome / Ruling
The Court dismissed the suit, finding that while the advertisement compared products, it did not constitute disparagement as it didn't make false claims about Dettol and focused on extolling the virtues of Santoor.
