CHICAGO — A $1 million law¬
suit against Helene Curtis In¬
dustries, Inc. today accused the
huge Chicago cosmetic firm of
trying illegally to “copy” the new
“Hair Strate Permanent” which a
Negro chemist worked 18 years to
develop.
Summit Laboratories, of In¬
dianapolis and Fort Wayne, ori-
t ' r ' naU * r of tke hlghly publ lc ** ed
“HairStrate Permanent” „ which . it
markets to beauticians through-
out the nation and abroad, filed
the suit for $4,218,000.00 in the
U. S. District Court in Chicago.
It charges Helene Curtis with “un-
fair trade practices, copyright in-
fringements and unfair competi-
tion
Both vice-presidents, the chief
chemist and general manager of
Summit Laboratories, and the in-
ventor and eo-inventor of its pro-
,lucts ’ are Negroes,
Helene Curtis is accused not
()nJv pf “copying” the HairStmte
product, the Summit but also firm’s of packaging plagiarizing and j
sales-promotion techniques and
its “precisely worded technical in-!
structions to beautiicians.” Sum- 7.
mit charged that the instructions
were “developed after many
months of private testing” and
“copied by Helene Curtis in many
instances not only approximately,
but literally word for word.”
Pending outcome of a jury trial ^
requested by the plaintiff, Summit
Laboratories has asked the court
to enjoin Helene Curtis from mak¬
ing any further distribution of
SU ch materials, and to “deliver up |
to be impounded all copies in its I
possession ... and all plates,!
molds, proofs and other matter
for making infringing copies.”

Summit also charges that Helene
Curtis ( 1 ) "attended product de¬
monstrations by plaintiff” and on
such occasions "solicited confiden¬
tial information concerning plain¬
tiff’s products from plaintiff’s
employees;” ( 2 ) “has solicited di¬
rectly or indirectly the employ¬
ment of plaintiff's key employees,”
and (3) “improperly solicited con¬

from S. Henry Bundles, plaintiff's

The complaint identifies Child-
rcy as “a Negro chemist having
many years of experience in the
specialized analysis, use, testing,
evaluation and preparation of pro¬
ducts designed to eliminate exces¬
sive curliness of hair.” Childrey
is said to have worked 18 years
in developing the HairStrate Per-
nianent.
Summit Laboratories asserted in
it* complaint that, since early
1958, i thas expended a laige
sum of mqney in developing, test¬
ing, manufacturing, repeatedly re¬
testing, demonstrating, distribut¬
ing, promoting and marketing” its
products throughout the United
States and abroad, and in “train¬
ing 6000 beauticians in their pro-
p pl . u^age.”
“With the intention of reaping
where it had not sown,” Summit
charged, Helene Curtis “is seeking
to capitalize upon the market de-
veloped by plaintiff, doing so by
plagiarizing and appropriating
plaintiff’s property without autho-
or consent of plaintiff.
