Rospatent allowed to register an alcoholic brand, "Volodya and bears"

Board of the Chamber for Patent Disputes of Rospatent has allowed the company "Royalties" to register the trademark "Volodya and bears" by meeting so the applicant company to refuse a year ago. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

The company "Royalties" is going to register "Volodya and bears," according to the classes of alcoholic beverages, beer, juices and mineral water.

In March 2011, Rospatent has refused to register the company's brand, "Volodya and bears", explaining that this name "harms the image and interests of the state, as well as the public interest." The company "Royalties" tried to challenge the authorities, saying that just tried to beat one of the most popular Russian names and characters of Russian fairy tales. However, the Chamber of Patent Disputes dismissed her objection.

After that, "Royalties" filed a complaint with the Moscow Arbitration Court, which in September 2011 recognized the failure of Rospatent illegal. After a sociological examination, the court found that only 6 percent of those surveyed spend an association between the phrase "Volodya and bears" and the political realities at the same time believe that this brand of alcohol is detrimental to the image of the state.

Although the register the trademark "Volodya and bears" Rospatent allowed only now, vodka with a similar name already produced in Russia. This brand was registered in the Ukraine to the Russian group "Vineksim" which was previously released as vodka "Putinka." In "Vineksim" repeatedly stated that "royalties" does not represent the interests of their group. In January 2012, "Vineksim" declared bankruptcy.
