The Gujarat High Court has restrained Wim Plast Limited – the maker of plastic kitchen ware & other products under the brand Cello - from launching Symphony look-alike air coolers in the market. In its order, the High Court maintained that “prima facie it appears that the contention that the first respondent-defendant (Wim Plast) has imitated the designs registered by the petitioner (Symphony) appears to be true”.
 
It was pointed out to the High Court that Wim Plast’s 'Mega Cool' model is more or less identical to Symphony's 'Winter' model, its 'Maxi Cool' model is similar to Symphony's 'Sumo' model, while another 'Ever Cool' model is identical to Symphony's 'Diet' model and 'Ultra Cool' model was a copy-cat of Symphony's 'Hi-Cool' model.
 
On its part, Symphony will continue to take recourse to every legal option available to it to stop Wim Plast from launching, marketing, selling or advertising Cello air cooler models in India which are copy-cats of Symphony's range of air coolers.
