Doubinsky & Osharova defended Ingosstrah
Doubinsky & Osharova has successfully defended the interests of the Ingosstrah insurance agency in litigation over its right to the Ingosstrah trademark in Ukraine.
The case involved the efforts by a Russian insurance agency of the same name to have the Ukrainian company’s trademark certificate ruled invalid.
In late February the court agreed with the Ukrainian Ingosstrah that the Russian company was unknown in Ukraine and thus, at the time the Ukrainian company applied for a trademark, no confusion was likely. The court found no reasons to cancel the Ukrainian company’s trademark, and dismissed the Russian company’s claim.
Ingosstrah was represented by Doubinsky & Osharova partner Yaroslav Ognevyuk and attorney Dmytro Nikulesko.
