Our Cases

Lactalis vs. Hohland

Patent dispute against “Hochland SE” to grant the protection for the patent №99471 for the group of design inventions belonging to the Client.

The reason for the objection raised by “Hohland” was inconsistency with the condition of patentability "originality": similar decisions were publicly available long before filing date. Gardium found the distinctive features of the Client’s decision from the opposed sources, proved the validity of the patent and succeeded in obtaining a refusal to satisfy the objection. The members of the board of the Chamber of Patent Disputes left the patent in force.

UAZ well-known marks

Two brands of the biggest automotive plant in Russia UAZ have been recognized as well-known marks in retrospective after a long-lasting process.

UAZ brand has been known for 50 years. Extended protection of the Client’s trademarks is only possible through registration as well-known mark, taking into account there are only about 200 well-known trademarks among all registered trademarks in Russia. Gardium collected sufficiently large amount of data to gain the evidence of intensive use of the trademark for courts. Trademarks “УАЗ” and "UAZ" have been recognized as well-known.

Ganesha LLC vs. Mars Inc.

“Mars Incorporated” raised an objection against the granting of legal protection to a trademark "Mr. Cat" owned by the Client. Gardium protected the Client’s rights to the disputed trademark.

“Mars Incorporated” raised an objection to the Chamber of Patent Disputes. They insisted on the fact that the trademark "Mr. Cat" owned by our Client was similar to the company's designation “Kitekat”, and also registered to similar goods that are being marked by the company's designation. Gardium proved that the documents submitted by Mars Incorporated do not confirm the ownership of the copyright on the image to the person who filed the objection. The Chamber of Patent Disputes rejected the objection of Mars Incorporated.
