«A.Zalesov & Partners» Patent & Law Firm’s client, «Diamed-Pharma» LLC, is the patent holder of the Russian invention under patent No. 2612014 for an arthrological drug. On September 07, 2021, the IP Court acting as a court of cassation instance ruled in favor of our client and rejected the cassation appeals of «Trokas Pharma» and «World Medicine» LLC companies. In this case, the IP Court checked the previous decision of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Moscow Region, which had recognized the introduction of the «Drastop» medicine into circulation with the infringement of the patent holder’s rights as an act of unfair competition.
This case is quite notable since it is a rare thing when the Federal Antimonopoly Service authorities suppress unfair competition expressed in the use of patent rights in the circulation of an interchangeable product.
