The Bombay High Court has summoned Patanjali Ayurveda’s director, Rajnish Mishra, demanding an ‘unconditional apology’ for alleged trademark infringement concerning their camphor product. This order follows accusations of ‘misleading’ advertisements from the Supreme Court.
Mangalam Organics filed a copyright infringement and contempt plea, alleging that Patanjali’s camphor product ‘mimicked’ their own, despite a restraining order issued in August 2023. According to the plea, Patanjali’s ‘cone-shaped, non-woven fabric draped packaging’ was sold online and at Patanjali Mega Store in Mumbai’s Virar, leading to consumer confusion. Mangalam Organics presented invoices from March 10 to April 28 and pointed out the product’s manufacturing date.
Justice RI Chagla has instructed Mishra to appear in court and apologise within a week, with the next hearing set for 8 July 2024. Earlier, Newslaundry reported on Patanjali’s misleading advertisements and emphasised the importance of supporting independent media.
