The Hindu Business Line : HC restrains Dabur on Glucose D

Justice Mr Sanjib Banerjee of the Calcutta High Court, by an order on Thursday, directed Dabur India Ltd not to use the ‘Glucose D’ mark in its products for sale in the market. Heinz India Ltd had filed an application stating that Glucose D was its patent, and use of the same by another manufacturer is an infringement. In the application, Heinz had asked for an injunction restraining the other manufacturer from producing Glucose D. The Trial Court declined to g rant injunction and an appeal was preferred by Heinz; no order was passed. In the meantime, an interlocutory application was made, which is still pending before the court. Against the Appeal Court order, Heinz moved to the Supreme Court, which sent back the matter to the High Court in view of the pending interlocutory application by Heinz. While disposing of the interlocutory petition of Heinz, the court made it clear that Heinz cannot claim monopoly over production of Glucose D, hence no interim order is warranted prohibiting Dabur from producing Glucose D.
