Delhi HC Declares Nutella a ‘Well-Known Trademark’ Globally
Imagine Nutella, the chocolate-hazelnut spread, is like a famous superhero.
A court in Delhi, India, said that Nutella is super-famous worldwide.
This decision came because the company that makes Nutella, Ferrero, sued another company.
Ferrero said the other company was making fake Nutella that looked just like the real stuff.
The court agreed with Ferrero because these fake products could be dangerous, especially for kids who eat them.
The court stated that Nutella’s trademark is well-known internationally.
