Description

Gillette, a renowned brand in the grooming and personal care industry, has a history dating back to its founding in 1901 by King C. Gillette. The company revolutionized the shaving experience with the introduction of the safety razor, and it has since become a global leader in men's and women's grooming products. Gillette is known for its iconic logo and distinctive brand image associated with high-quality shaving razors and blades.

Gillette has been involved in various legal disputes against entities attempting to infringe on its brand. In 2015, Gillette filed a lawsuit against Dollar Shave Club, a subscription-based razor company, alleging patent infringement and false advertising. Gillette claimed that Dollar Shave Club's marketing statements about the quality of its blades compared to Gillette's were misleading. The case received attention due to the competition between traditional razor companies and subscription-based services.
