A large Russian restaurant company

Representation of the client’s interests in the context of dispute resolution in court and out-of-court settlement. For several years, a group of companies developed a restaurant brand in Moscow and the Moscow region. Later it was revealed that for all this time the group of companies have been using a trademark registered with Rospatent and, as a result, have been violating the rights of another legal entity, since the trademark was used by several legal entities in 8 restaurants. The trademark owner filed a few lawsuits to receive compensation, which could reach 5 million rubles for each restaurant. NEF, having assessed the possible risks, recommended a peaceful way to resolve the dispute. After a series of negotiations between the copyright holder and the group of companies, a license agreement was concluded. One of the conditions of the agreement was the absence of further claims by the copyright holder to the group of companies for the period prior to the conclusion of the main agreement.
