Preventing counterfeit products from being sold Acted on behalf of international telecommunication companies in seeking the ways to prevent counterfeit products being sold in Russia and the CIS. Together with the customs authorities, we succeeded in taking steps to prevent such counterfeit products from being imported into markets in Russia and CIS.

Initiatives against counterfeit products In association with a network of patent attorneys across the CIS, we are combating the production and sale of counterfeit products that are being distributed in violation of leading international food producers' rights, one such food producer holding the rights to more than 500 trademarks.

Dispute regarding improperly registered trademarks Successfully represented world famous FMCG and food producers against the parties who had improperly registered trademarks and demanded compensation for the alleged infringement of their rights.

A copyright dispute Successfully represented telecommunication companies in several cases concerning infringement of copyright and neighbouring rights to music used in TV commercials.

Pre-trial resolution of a trademark dispute Drafted claims for the benefit of international oil and gas producers concerning exclusive rights being infringed to trade names and trademarks as well as unfair competition and improper advertising. As a result of this work, within a very short time the use of the trademarks discontinued, trade names were changed and websites with improper advertising were removed.

Court disputes concerning IP Represented clients in court disputes concerning IP, including in particular in the IP Rights Court, and in the Russian regulator Rospatent's Patents Disputes Chamber, as well as in other courts (both commercial and the general jurisdiction courts) in Moscow and Moscow Region, Kaluga, Belgorod, Rostov-on-Don, and Amur Region among others.
