Product Information

It was common ground that the Claimants had become aware of the VAGISAN products being sold in the UK in January 2014. However, Dr Wolff argued that, since the Claimants did not bring infringement proceedings until 2019, over five years later, they had acquiesced in its use of the VAGISAN mark, and therefore could not oppose that use under section 48(1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 which provides a defence of statutory acquiescence in such circumstances. Can be used alongside hormone replacement therapy or with vaginal creams or pessaries that do contain hormones (estrogen) However, if the discharge changes from what you’re used to, especially if it’s accompanied by a bad odour, symptoms like itching, soreness and redness, or if it has an abnormal colour such as grey, green, or yellow, speak to your doctor. “You should definitely get advice if the discharge is blood-stained,” adds Dr Morton. “It can be normal to have a little blood stain in the mid-cycle mucus, and occasionally a bit of a brown ‘lead-in’ to a period, but not at other times.” How does menopause affect the vagina? Many people ask us How Do You Use Vagisan Moist Cream? When buying any product its important questions like this that should be asked so that you know exactly how to use a product. The Court of Appeal largely dismissed Dr Wolff's appeal, confirming both VAGISAN and DR WOLFF's VAGISAN infringed the VAGISIL marks. Whilst, as explained below, the Court of Appeal disagreed with the High Court's approach to interruption of the statutory acquiescence period, the Court of Appeal still upheld the infringement ruling because the Claimants were unaware of Dr Wolff's use of VAGISAN for a long period during 2015 and 2016 despite keeping a watch for such use.

Dr Wolff Vagisan Protective Ointment keeps away external influences that may harm the skin including, vaginal discharge, sweat and urine. Helps to soothe irritated skin caused chafing during sporting activities and friction caused by tight clothing. Vagisan Protective Ointment should not be used immediately prior to sexual intercourse when using latex condoms, since the tear strength of latex may be impaired by the ointment. It’s completely normal for your vagina to have a slight odour and that can change depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, whether you’ve just had sex, or if you’ve been sweating a lot. “We all have a smell but it shouldn’t be unpleasant,” says Dr Morton. A common cause of abnormal vaginal odour is bacterial vaginosis, which can occur due to a change in the natural balance of bacteria in your vagina. Other causes of unpleasant vaginal smells can include, for example, STIs or a tampon left inside unknowingly. If you notice any significant changes in odour, speak to your GP. Why have I got an itch down below?The most common cause of vaginal and vulval irritation is an overgrowth of yeast, also known as thrush,” explains Dr Morton. “We all have yeast in places such as the gut, mouth and vagina, which doesn't cause any problems.” However, it can multiply out of control and cause an infection if the vaginal environment changes, e.g. after a course of antibiotics. The Defendants also argued that the prefix VAGI- was descriptive or a signposting term as to the nature of the product, but the Court dismissed this argument. Irrespective of the possibly indicative nature of VAGI, it was the VAGISIL sign that had to be assessed, and this was not descriptive of the intended purpose or characteristics of the goods. In 2016, Dr Wolff sought to increase its UK presence, and VAGISAN products began to be sold in Boots stores. It also invested in a television advertising campaign, which saw an increase in sales of both products. The Claimants subsequently claimed for infringement in the UK in 2019. In 2022 Dr Wolff started to rebrand its products in the UK as DR WOLFF'S VAGISAN. Dr Wolff is a German pharmaceutical company. In the early 2000s, it developed VAGISAN Moist Cream, which was first launched in Germany and later expanded into other territories. In 2012, it applied for an international trade mark designating the EU and US for the word mark VAGISAN. Following an opposition by Combe International, the parties entered into co-existence negotiations but failed to come to a settlement and cancellation proceedings were subsequently commenced in a number of jurisdictions.

The Defendants conceded that the VAGISIL mark and VAGISAN sign were, visually and aurally, "very, very similar", and the Court also found that they were used in relation to identical goods. Where Vagisan CAN be used before sexual intercourse to alleviate you symptoms, it can also compromise the tear strength of condoms and caps/diaphragms, as this is the case you should avoid using the cream in conjunction with these contraceptive products.
