Case: Attorneys of law firm VINCO’S protected a pharmaceutical company’s rights in a well-known trademark
Client’s problem:
One of the most common infringements in the field of intellectual property is the infringement of trademark rights (a mark for goods and services). Very often, competing companies attempt to register a long-known and popular brand in order to subsequently use it in business activity related to that of the competitor. As a result, the true owner of such a well-known trademark suffers significant losses from the competitors’ unlawful actions, including reduced sales and, accordingly, lower profits. Our Client also became a victim of such actions.
Challenges:
In the situation that arose, law firm VINCO’S reviewed all necessary documents and built a defense strategy aimed at restoring the infringed intellectual property rights.
Result:
A claim was filed seeking to invalidate the trademark and to withdraw from civil circulation all goods marked with that designation. As a result, the court restored the Client’s infringed rights, and all court costs were imposed on the infringer. In addition, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine was notified of unfair competition by the competing company.
Therefore, if you believe that competitors are unlawfully using your intellectual property, we recommend protecting yourself immediately against unfair actions to prevent possible losses and damage to business reputation. Specialists of law firm VINCO’S will advise you and apply all effective methods to protect and restore your rights.
