The Arbitration Court of the Novosibirsk Region satisfied the claims of our Principal to recover compensation in the amount of 12 million rubles for infringement of the exclusive right to a trademark. The essence of the dispute was the unlawful use by the Defendant on the packaging of his products of an image that was similar to the Principal’s trademark to the degree of displacement. Despite the fact that the Defendant concealed information about the volume of production of counterfeit products, the employees of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” managed to prove to the court all the facts of its illegal activities. The interests of the Principal were represented by Nikolay Polusitov, senior lawyer of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.

The Arbitration Court of the Moscow District in the framework of the bankruptcy procedure of the Bank upheld the decision of the court of appeal on the cancellation of the judicial act of the court of first instance on the recognition invalid of the transaction with the participation of our Principal. On the basis of the prepared position of the lawyers of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, it was possible to prove that the Principal, making payments under the loan agreements concluded by him with the Bank to the new creditor, acted in good faith, in the absence of information about the illegal purpose of the disputed assignment agreements within the framework of this separate dispute. This ruled out the possibility of re-collecting from him the debt already paid by him under loan agreements. The preparation of the legal position on the case was carried out by Viktor Pokormyak, Head of the practice of contesting dubious transactions, lawyer of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, and Alexandra Reznichenko, trainee lawyer.
