SpicyIP is thrilled to inform its readers that the Indian Patent Office has comprehensively revamped its ‘Indian Patent Information Retrieval System’ (IPIRS) to not only make it more asthetically pleasing to the user but also provide an extremely useful search feature on the ‘application status’ of pending applications . As our readers may know SpicyIP has always been an ardent advocate of an effective digital patent database since such a database would go a long way in increasing transparency and strengthening the patent system in India

According to news reports , the Calcutta High Court has stayed HUL’s Rin Ad and has said that the ad is a clear case of disparagement. An injunction has been granted on the grounds that the voice-over in the ad spoke of Tide whereas the ad showed Tide Naturals and that there were inherent defects in the affidavits submitted by HUL to support its claim of superior whiteness

“Bold and brash” is in and it’s the new chic(k?). Gone are the days of harmless understated advertisements (Oh I am not complaining at all, maybe I will after a few decades, but not now)

Rin v. Tide: Taking Indian Advertisement to a Different Level… (below the belt?)
SpicyIP Wishes all its Readers a Safe n Happy Holi! May Rin and Tide become friends this Holi! (Wouldn’t it be anti-competitive then?) (The conclusions originally arrived at in this post have been slightly altered after a bit of deliberation) In my last post , I had discussed in brief the recent advertisement for Hindustan Unilever’s detergent brand “Rin”, in which a rival brand “Tide” figures prominently.

Rin v. Tide I: What is the Law?
If news reports are to be believed, the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) has received complaints against HUL from two consumers against the controversial Rin advertisement . The general secretary of ASCI, Allan Collaco has said that a notice to HUL will be issued on Wednesday and HUL will be given a 15-day period to respond. Apparently, there are a few complaints pending against HUL in connection with other ads too.

According to latest news reports , P&G which owns “Tide” has knocked the doors of the Calcutta High Court in relation to HUL’s controversial Rin advertisement . According this news report, a few weeks back, Tide Natural’s advertisement which claimed a special fragrance was challenged by HUL before the Madras High Court on grounds that the claim was false. The Court too seemed to hold the same view since P&G couldn’t prove its claim

Rin v. Tide: P&G Goes to Court
The on-going dispute in the Tide/P&G vs Rin/HUL comparative advertising matter reminded me of a recent order of the Delhi High Court lying in my inbox for a few weeks, dealing with a comp ad dispute in the domain of kitchen cleaners – between Mr Muscle Kitchen Cleaner and CIF Cream. (You can download the case from the DHC website here : case title: SC Johnson & Son, Inc vs Buchanan Group Pty Ltd) This case does not entirely apply to Rin vs Tide , simply because CIF’s ad – which came under scrutiny – did not mention any competing product by name, leaving some room for ambiguity, and a possible defence. Sai has already discussed the Good Knight vs Odomos judgement delivered in February this year

Be not fooled by the title of this post, dear readers. Merely combining two very interesting tidbits having caught the SpicyIP Team ‘s eye this week, and not trying to draw any parallels here 
Cow Urine brings possible relief to Diabetics Cow urine has long been advocated by some members of the Indian community for supposed medicinal properties. Indeed one of its most famous patrons was our former Prime Minister Morarji Desai, who lived 100 years.

The present financial budget has brought in a host of good news for the pharma industry with tax sops serving as the perfect holi gift from the Government. I am yet to go through the fine print of the budget,but on the face of it there seems to be a reason to rejoice for the pharma industry as the weighted deduction on in-house R&D expenditure has been hiked from 150% to 200%.The primary benefit to be accrued by means of this sop would be for the cost incurred in filing international patents as well as carrying out clinical trials outside the country. However, as Kiran Mazumdar Shaw of Biocon states ,this would be only meaningful provided the sops are insightful and not mere cosmetic changes.

Over the last several months we’ve blogged about several draconian preventive detention legislations aimed at combating video piracy and how these legislations may be unconstitutional. Photo : Munnar, Kerala – photo credit: Bimal KC. As of now we have confirmed news that the states of Tamil Nadu and Maharasthra have already amended their Goonda Acts to include copyright infringement of videos in the list of offences that could lead to preventive detention of the suspects (not convicts)

Whiling away some time on the internet, I decided to check Google Trends – which ranks countries based on the frequency of the search term entered – for ‘patents’, ‘copyrights’, ‘ipr’, ‘intellectual property rights’, ‘intellectual property laws’, etc. To my surprise, I found that, with the exception of one or two search terms, India is far, far ahead of any other country for almost every IP-related search term! Even for terms where India was not on top, such as ‘trademarks’, ‘innovation’, ‘invention’ – India was within the top few countries where the term has been searched for
