Parle Agro locks horns with Walmart India in the Bombay HC over its product Appy Fizz
08-Aug-2020

In a rare incidence of a local company taking action against a multinational for alleged trademark violation, Parle Agro has moved the Bombay High Court against Walmart India for selling an apple drink with 'deceptively similar mark' as its Appy Fizz. In an interim order, the court has restrained Walmart from selling any product allegedly similar to the petitioner’s product until further order. The country’s largest homegrown beverage firm has alleged that the Indian unit of the world’s largest retailer was manufacturing, marketing, selling and promoting an apple drink, 'Fizzy Apple', using identical font, style and colour scheme as those Parle Agro uses for Appy Fizz.
