Anton Nefedev

Counsel, Head of IP in Technology, Patent and Software Attorney

Represented a U.S. leading multinational corporation and the world’s largest coffeehouse chain in a series of precedent-setting trademark disputes concerning the protection of globally recognized trademarks. The disputes arose in the context of a local market brand adopting similar branding and trade designations. Our team developed and implemented a comprehensive enforcement strategy to preserve the client’s trademark portfolio in Russia and prevent the registration of confusingly similar trademarks.
