A COPYRIGHT HOLDER FROM AN UNFRIENDLY COUNTRY HAS THE RIGHT TO PROTECT A TRADEMARK IN RUSSIA
A foreign company collected compensation from a businessman for offering counterfeit goods using the plaintiff's trademarks. The defendant's arguments on the exhaustion of exclusive rights due to the expiration of their validity period were rejected. According to an extract from the international register of WIPO trademarks, the term of their legal protection, including in Russia, has been extended until 2031.
The arguments about the plaintiff's origin from an unfriendly country were also not accepted. This circumstance does not exempt from liability for violating the exclusive rights of foreign copyright holders. The Presidential Decree on sanctions in connection with restrictive measures mostly concerns foreign exchange transactions and does not regulate relations in the field of intellectual property.
