A Plaintiff filed a claim for the early termination of the trademark of the client of «A.Zalesov & Partners» Patent & Law Firm, registered in relation to goods of classes 01 and 05 of the International Classification of Goods and Services, due to non-use.
The client is engaged in the development, production and sale of chemical plant protection products, and the trademark is used to individualize the herbicide.
In this case, the lawyers of «A.Zalesov & Partners» Patent & Law Firm managed to prove that the Plaintiff has no interest in the early termination of the trademark in relation to goods of class 01 or class 05, since it does not carry out activities related to the disputed goods.
We also managed to prove the wide recognition of the client's trademark, since the herbicide, for the individualization of which the trademark is used, has been used for a long time and intensively in the territory of the Russian Federation.
The IP Court agreed with our position and issued a decision on June 05, 2025 to refuse to satisfy the claims in full.
The client's interests in the case were represented by Senior Partner Irina Ozolina and Senior Associate Julia Kolomytseva.
