Defence in disputes concerning invalidation of contracts of alienation of exclusive rights to trademarks

Effective legal representation in several disputes concerning invalidation of contracts of alienation of exclusive rights to trademarks

Effective commercial litigation, including in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in a dispute concerning invalidation of a contract of alienation of eight trademarks. The court’s judgement was in favour of our client - the court held invalid the contract of alienation of trademarks. The trademarks were recognised to belong to a French company, and Rospatent (the Federal Service for Intellectual Property) made respective amendments to the State Register of Trademarks and Service Marks of the Russian Federation. As per the ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the legal owner — a seller of exclusive alcohol brands — definitively restored its right to the disputed trademarks.

Effective legal representation in a dispute concerning sale of one international trademark (we won the case in the court of appeal) and in a case against the other party’s attempt to appeal against our client’s sale of the Russian trademark portfolio.
