Himachal Pradesh High Court Rejects P&G's Plea in Patent Case

Himachal Pradesh High Court Rejects P&G's Plea in Patent Case

An inventor, Rajiv Rai Sachdev, claims P&G took his idea to dye textiles using plants for their product.

The inventor says he shared his idea with P&G, but they later launched a similar product without his permission.

He sued them.

P&G said their product was different and didn't use his process.

A court initially told the police to investigate P&G.

Now, the High Court decided to continue investigating.

They believe there's enough reason to suspect P&G might have wrongly used the inventor's idea.

The court thinks this could be considered cheating and so the case will proceed.
