The Intellectual Property Rights Court remained in force the decision of Rospatent (Federal Service for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trademarks), on the basis of which there was cancelled a trademark of an opponent.

In early 2024, the Gorny Park Hotel achieved the recognition of legal protection of trademark No. 973014 in Rospatent as invalid, since the opponent registered in its name a designation that was confusingly similar to the copyright-protected item and commercial designation owned by the Park Hotel. Having disagreed with this decision, the former copyright holder applied to the Intellectual Property Rights Court with an application to cancel the decision of Rospatent.

By the decision of the Intellectual Property Rights Court dd. 05.12.2024 in case No. СИП-825/2024, the application was dismissed, the decision of Rospatent remained in force. The court confirmed that the exclusive rights to a work of visual art and a commercial designation belong to the owner of the Gorny Park Hotel. They were violated by registration of the trademark of the opponent.
