Dispute Summary
Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) sued Siva Shakti Soap Works for trademark infringement and copyright violation related to their 'SURF', 'SURF EXCEL', and 'SURFMATIC' brands of washing powder/bar soap. Siva Shakti Soap Works was manufacturing and selling similar products under a deceptively similar label, leading HUL to seek an injunction and damages.
Outcome / Ruling
The suit was decreed based on the terms of the joint memorandum of compromise, with a clarification that the trademark rights apply only to Siva Shakti Soap Works and not third parties.
