The Power Couple Shona and Connie Ferguson lost a lawsuit against Nivea.
In December of 2017, Nivea owner, Beiersdorf, announced its intention to sue Connie Ferguson’s business, Koni International Brands, over similarities between both companies’ products.
Nivea deemed the range of shower gels and lotions, named Connie Bodycare, as an identical match to that of the Nivea products.
Almost a year later, a verdict was finally reached on Wednesday morning when Judge Denise Fisher of the Johannesburg High Court, ruled in favour of the cosmetics giant. She concluded that the similarity between the Nivea and Koni product packaging had the potential to mislead consumers.
Was she wrong? Black Twitter didn’t think she was. The twitter peeps were quick to notice the similarities through witty posts and snapshots of the products on the shelves.
