Russia trademark application is not as simple as it may seem - a growing attention to this subject matter is demonstrated by administrative and court decisions. Registration is a pre-requisite to the effective enforcement of a trademark. Anyone failing - whether intentionally or not - to register his marks would be exposed to potential losses and the inability to make any claims against acts of infringement or unfair competition.
