Intellectual property

The protection of intellectual property in the Russian Federation is gaining momentum in last years. Not so long ago, theft and use of objects protected by copyright and other related rights for profit were widespread in the country.

Almost every holiday agency had life-size puppets in the form of heroes of popular cartoons, any movie could be downloaded on sites on the Internet. This grossly violated the rights of citizens who were the creators of these works and heroes.

In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between rights to an intellectual property object (work) and directly copyright or patent rights, means of individualization.

The lawyers of the DTK Partners Law Agency will help you understand the intricacies of intellectual property.

Intellectual property

In 2015-2018, several high-profile lawsuits on the protection of intellectual property took place. These include the process in relation to the characters of the cartoon Prostokvashino, as well as the establishment of rights to the characters of the cartoon. As well as the redemption by the organization of the rights to the cartoon characters Smeshariki.

Now the use of any of these heroes is a violation of intellectual property. It is forbidden to use them as a trademark, brand, or for other commercial purposes.

Since 2017, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation has determined what exactly constitutes a violation of copyright and related rights. This is the use of objects for commercial purposes or for the general public.

It is forbidden to use musical works even for matinees in kindergartens, if they are conducted with the participation of animators.

However, in order to receive compensation, your rights must be properly registered. To do this, you will need the support of a lawyer.
