Kraft Foods Inc(NASDAQ:KFT)’s Cadbury unit on Monday won a lawsuit against Nestle over the use of purple coloured packaging for its Dairy Milk bars.

The world's biggest food company had filed a suit against Cadbury in December 2011 against the trademarking the purple packaging saying that the colour couldn't be trademarked.

The court however ruled otherwise. “The evidence clearly supports a finding that purple is distinctive of Cadbury for milk chocolate,” Judge Colin Birss wrote in rejecting Nestlé’s appeal.
He pointed out that Cadbury had been using the colour purple for its Dairy Milk bars since 1914.

Kraft Foods bought out Cadbury in 2010.
