New Delhi: The country's highest court has given a big relief to Patanjali, rejecting the petition against it on the trademark claim of Coronil. On the plea of Chennai-based company Arudra Engineering Ltd, which produces sanitizer and other health care material, the apex court has said that first prove its arguments in the High Court.
The court said that at present when people are strongly affected by the corona and are engaged in taking medicines that increase immunity, asking to change the name at such a time will increase people's problems. It is possible that only a pesticide of this name can come in the market. Earlier, a single-judge bench of the Madras High Court had barred the Patanjali company from using the trademark 'Coronil', claiming Arudra Engineers to have registered the name Coronil in 1993.
While issuing the order, Justice CV Karthikeyan completely banned the use of the company's 'Coronil' trademark, as well as a fine of Rs 10 lakh on the defendants. But a two-judge bench has adjourned the case till September, staying the order of a single judge bench. Meanwhile, Arudra Engineers challenged the stay of the bench in the apex court.
