Obukhovskiye Mineral Waters accuse Tonus of trademark violation

‘Our company is using two registered trademarks at the moment. One of them has belonged to us since 1998, the other one since the year 2000. These trademarks are present on the bottles containing our manufacturer’s mineral water, that is, Obukhovskaya-11. However, Isadora Ltd marketed an Obukhovskaya mineral water in February 2009 whose labels bear some trademarks that are so similar to ours that they can be very easily confused,’ Obukhovskiye Mineral Waters lawyer Vera Zakirko said to UrBC.

Meanwhile, Sverdlovsk Region Arbitration Court keeps looking into the claim laid by Obukhovskiye Mineral Waters against Isadora Ltd regarding the protection of the plaintiff’s exclusive rights. The plaintiff wants Isadora to be banned from selling mineral water that claims Obukhovskaya origin without evidence. Then, Obukhovskiye Mineral Waters also insist on a five-million-ruble compensation from the alleged offender.
