Supreme Court on Thursday has dismissed a petition lodged by Ardura Engineers, Chennai based company, which sought to restrict Patanjali from using the 'Coronil' trademark for the immunity booster medicine. However, Yog Guru Ramdev claimed it to be a cure for coronavirus.
Ardura had challenged an order of Madras High Court which refused to abstain Patanjali from using the 'Coronil' name for its immunity booster product which was launched by Ramdev in late June.
The Supreme Court said, "In these Covid times if we prevent the use of word Coronil, it will be terrible for the product."
Notably, Ardura is a manufacturer of sanitizers and chemicals. In the petition, it has claimed that the company is the owner of 'Coronil' trademark since 1993.

Although a single-judge bench of the Madras High Court had given relief to Ardura, a division bench later stayed the single-judge order.
Arudra is now gearing up to appear before the Madras High Court to debate over it during its next hearing next month.
Arudra Engineers Ltd has been asked by the Supreme Court to fight its case in the high court to prevent Ramdev's Patanjali from using the name 'Coronil'.
