Delhi HC restrains manufacturer from infringing Britannia's 'Little Hearts' mark

NEW DELHI: (Dec 31) The Delhi High Court has restrained a manufacturer and others from infringing the trademark and shape of Britannia’s ‘Little Hearts’ biscuits.

Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora was hearing a suit filed by the Britannia Industries Ltd claiming Shri Swastik Organics and others were not only using its trademark but also using an identical 3D shape for selling biscuits online.

In an interim order dated December 23, the court said, “This is a case of triple identity where the marks are virtually identical, the products are identical, and the trade channel, as well as the consumer base, is identical."
