Ilyashev & Partners, representing the interests of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, has persuaded the Economic Court of Kyiv to invalidate the trademark of a Ukrainian pharmacy network featuring the image of a red cross.
According to Ilyashev & Partners, "more than 400 pharmacies of the network in question that are located in 100 Ukrainian cities have been using this trademark on their signboards, in advertisements, and on several web-sites on the Internet."
The Ilyashev & Partners team was led by Attorney at Law Dmytro Nikulesko and Lawyer Olena Sereda.
Last year Ilyashev & Partners, again working pro bono on behalf of the Ukrainian Red Cross Society, persuaded a network of Ukrainian medical centers in Ukraine to discontinue its illegal use of the Red Cross emblem (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on November 11, 2020).
