Richemont International SA v. Russian Patent and Trademark Office

Court

Arbitrazh Court of Moscow

Our Position

Rospatent and the lower courts erred in limiting the operation of Article 10bis of the Paris Convention to cases where there is “confusion” or where a mark is well known in the Russian Federation.

Outcome

The Supreme Arbitrazh Court’s opinion, while not citing INTA’s brief, followed the Association’s position with respect to the bad faith and unfair competition aspects of the case.
