Associates of «A.Zalesov & Partners» Patent & Law Firm have successfully defended a company that has imported genuine goods produced outside of Russia without a consent of a local trademark licensee with regard to the amount of compensation calculated on the bases of the price of the goods.
The thirteenth Appeal arbitration court has confirmed the decision of the first instance court that compensation in amount of double price of the goods, as well as other methods of the compensation calculating should be considered by court and may be lowered based on the principles of reasonableness and justice as the goal of compensation is reimbursement of actual negative consequences and restoration of injured party's status and not the punishment of particular defendant.
