India TV News  

The Bombay High Court, in a temporary order, has restrained FMCG firm Emami from selling any skincare product under the brandname containing the words "Glow and Handsome", saying that prima facie Hindustan Unilever has used them first in its brands. Justice S C Gupte passed the order on Monday on an application filed by HUL under the Trade Marks Act, seeking an injunction against Emami from using the trademark "Glow & Handsome". Until the final disposal of the matter, Emami, which has not yet brought its own goods into the market under "Glow and Handsome" brand, deserves to be restrained from doing so,said the judge. "Pending final hearing and disposal of the matter, the defendant is temporarily restrained from using the alleged mark `Glow & Handsome' and/or any other mark containing the words in respect of any grooming, skincare and cosmetic products," the court said.
