Elena Gorodisskaya successfully defended Rambler Group’s trademark

Rospatent satisfied the claim of Company Afisha LLC (member of Rambler Group) for invalidation of the registrations of the trademark “MTS Afisha” (Cyrillic)owned by PAO MobileTeleSystems and the trademark “Yandex Afisha” (Cyrillic) owned by Yandex LLC.

The trademarks “MTS Afisha” and “Yandex Afisha” were registered i.a. for goods and services similar to those for which the trademark “afisha” (Cyrillic) owned by Company Afisha LLC was registered. Therefore Company Afisha LLC decided to challenge the said trademark registration to the extent concerned.

In its decisions of April 16 and 17, 2020, Rospatent accepts our arguments that the challenged trademarks do not meet the criteria of Article 1483(10) of the Russian Civil Code because they incorporate our client’s trademark and were registered for similar goods and services.

Company Afisha LLC was represented by Elena Gorodisskaya, AGP partner, head of Intellectual Property.
