**Maggi v/s Maggisun: Delhi High Court Closes Trademark Suit After Nestle’s Settlement**
*By Akash Pandey | Oct 06, 2025, 01:35 PM*
The Delhi High Court has officially closed a trademark infringement case filed by Nestle S.A., the parent company of the iconic “Maggi” brand, against Shankeshwar Utensils & Appliances Private Limited. The latter was manufacturing utensils under the brand name “Maggisun,” which Nestle claimed infringed upon its trademark rights.
**Settlement Details Approved by the Court**
Justice Tejas Karia approved the settlement between the two parties, under which Shankeshwar Utensils agreed not to manufacture or sell pressure cookers or any other goods under the “Maggisun” trademark or any similar marks going forward.
The legal dispute began in 2018 when Societe Des Produits Nestle SA (Nestle) filed the case asserting its ownership of the MAGGI trademark, a brand Nestle has owned since 1947. As part of the settlement, Shankeshwar Utensils recognized Nestle as the rightful proprietor of the MAGGI trademark and accepted all related registrations as valid.
**Compliance and Future Restrictions**
Shankeshwar Utensils also agreed to several compliance measures including:
– Not advertising “Maggisun,” “Maggi,” or any similar trademarks across any medium — print, electronic, social media, or e-commerce platforms.
– Destroying all existing products bearing the “Maggisun” mark or any similar branding.
– Canceling its trademark registration for “Maggisun.”
Counsel for Nestle confirmed that all remaining claims in the suit would be dropped contingent on the court’s approval of the settlement.
**Impact on Market and Brand Presence**
The court decreed the case closed in accordance with the terms of the settlement and directed both parties to abide by the agreement.
India represents one of Nestle’s fastest-growing markets globally and has become its largest market for Maggi noodles, with over six billion servings sold in the financial year 2023-24 alone. The brand continues to enjoy high double-digit growth rates in the country.
Despite prior health controversies—such as a five-month ban imposed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in June 2015 due to lead content concerns—Maggi has maintained strong consumer loyalty.
In the past eight years, Nestle India has launched more than 140 products and plans to invest ₹7,500 crore between 2020 and 2025 to further strengthen its operations and brand presence in the Indian market.
