“Calcutta High Court Restrains HUL’s ‘Glow & Handsome’ in Favor of Emami’s ‘Fair & Handsome'”
In a significant legal victory for Emami Ltd, the Calcutta High Court has restrained Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) from using the ‘Glow & Handsome’ mark for its men’s care products. This ruling stems from a case filed by Emami, alleging trademark infringement and violation of its ‘Fair & Handsome’ mark by HUL.
In a significant legal victory for Emami Ltd, the Calcutta High Court has restrained Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) from using the ‘Glow & Handsome’ mark for its men’s care products. This ruling stems from a case filed by Emami, alleging trademark infringement and violation of its ‘Fair & Handsome’ mark by HUL.
The dispute between the two consumer beauty giants dates back to 2020 when HUL rebranded its men’s fairness cream as ‘Glow & Handsome,’ a move that Emami deemed as encroaching upon its established brand identity. The court’s decision to bar HUL from using the contested mark is a significant development in the ongoing legal battle between the two companies.
The Calcutta High Court’s ruling includes a directive for HUL to comply with the order within a month, underscoring the urgency and gravity of the matter. While Emami celebrates this legal triumph, HUL is evaluating the court’s decision and considering its next steps in response to the injunction.
Emami’s allegations of trademark infringement were based on the similarity between ‘Glow & Handsome’ and its registered mark, ‘Fair & Handsome.’ The court’s legal analysis favored Emami’s position, highlighting the importance of protecting established brands and preventing confusion among consumers.
The beauty segment, particularly in men’s care products, has witnessed intense competition and rivalry among companies vying for market share and consumer attention. The dispute over brand names reflects the strategic significance of brand identity and the lengths companies go to protect their intellectual property rights.
Emami’s successful legal pursuit against HUL underscores the need for vigilance and adherence to trademark laws in the competitive landscape of consumer goods. As the case unfolds, it will be closely watched for its implications on brand protection and competition within the beauty and lifestyle industry.
