AGP Lawyers Succeded in Obtainning Order to Seize Fake Products

Our lawyers represented a famous Japanese manufacturer of tools and battery-operated and fuel-powered equipment, including garden equipment and accessories, before the Russian Customs and, as a result, prevented penetration of fake products into the Russian market.

The Customs suspected that products declared by a Russian importer were fake and asked AGP as the representative of the manufacturer who owns the trademark concerned to make a check on their suspicions, which proved to be not without reason as a result of the check.

Our lawyers built a solid evidentiary basis, including i.a. written explanations of legal nature and comparison of the original product with the fake. Thanks to the materials prepared by AGP, the customs authority was able to bring an administrative offence action to court.

The court held the offender administratively liable and ordered to impose a fine on him and to seize the fake products.

Veronika Popelenskaya and Anna Velichko, lawyers of our Intellectual Property group, represented the client.
