Delhi HC stops Parle from using FAB!O name

In a relief to Mondelez-owned Intercontinental Great Brands (IGB), the owner of the OREO biscuit brand, the Delhi High Court on Friday restrained Parle Products from using the trademarks "FABIO" or "FAB!O" for its chocolate biscuits "for any purpose whatsoever".

"This injunction shall also apply to stocks presently in Parle's possession and as yet uncleared, though it would not apply to stocks which have already been released in the market. The ... injunction shall remain in force pending disposal of the suit," Justice C Hari Shankar said in an interim order.
