Our client, a manufacturer of alcoholic beverages, planned to protect its rights to the trademark "RED ARMY". After filing an application to Rospatent it was countered by the trademark "RED ARMY" No.221081 in class 33 of the Nice Classification.
PATENTUS lawyers Maria Meshcheriakova and Lubov Dmitrieva filed a lawsuit in the Intellectual Property Court to invalidate the interfering trademark on the grounds of non-use.
In early April 2021, the Intellectual Property Court issued a decision on early termination of legal protection of the disputed trademark.
