The Delhi High Court has disposed of a trademark infringement suit filed by Nestlé S.A., the parent company of the popular instant noodle brand “Maggi”, following an amicable settlement with a utensil manufacturer operating under the mark “Maggisun.”

Justice Tejas Karia passed a decree in favour of Nestlé after the defendant, M/s Shree Shankeshwar Utensils & Appliances Pvt. Ltd., undertook not to manufacture, sell, or market pressure cookers or any other goods under the name “Maggisun” or any mark deceptively similar to “Maggi.”

The suit was initiated in 2018 by Société Des Produits Nestlé S.A., the global food and beverage conglomerate that acquired the Maggi brand in 1947. Under the settlement, the defendant acknowledged Nestlé’s ownership of the “Maggi” trademark and the validity of its registrations.

Additionally, the defendant agreed not to advertise or promote “Maggisun,” “Maggi,” or any similar mark across print, digital, social media, or e-commerce platforms. It also committed to destroying all goods and packaging bearing the infringing mark and to withdraw the “Maggisun” trademark registration.

Nestlé’s counsel submitted that all other prayers in the suit would not be pressed once the matter was decreed based on the settlement terms.

“The suit stands decreed in terms of the Settlement between the parties. Let a Decree Sheet be prepared accordingly. The parties shall remain bound by the terms of the Settlement,” the Court ordered.
