The British makers and local distributors of the popular electrical hair straighter brand GHD have won a court order against two Cape Town women who allegedly sold counterfeit GHD products.
A
Cape Times report says Narriman Hendricks and Reumaysa Khan were ordered by the Western Cape High Court to immediately stop trading in alleged GHD counterfeit products and hand over all their unauthorised goods bearing the trademark GHD. The court also allowed for an official trademark infringement inquiry to be held to find out how many GHD labelled products the pair have sold, to determine the amount of royalties they owed to the official manufacture and distributor of GHD products - the Jemella Group, based in West Yorkshire. The report notes the court application was granted to Jemella and its exclusive SA distributor, the Durban-based company Good Hair Day SA.
