SC dismisses Cadbury plea over Frooti trademark row on India

The Supreme Court has dismissed confectionery major Cadbury India’s plea seeking transfer of Parle Agro’s suit on a trademark row to Delhi High Court so as to avoid any conflicting judgements. The two companies are fighting over their trademarks in different high courts. A bench of the apex bench headed by Justice B N Agarwal dismissed Cadbury’s transfer petition, saying both the suits will continue independently. Cadbury while seeking transfer of Parle’s suit from Bombay High Court to Delhi High Court had sought a declaration that the word Frooti was commonly used in English and Parle cannot claim exclusivity to a completely descriptive term.
