Selected outcomes
Strategy, applied.
The result matters, but so does the route: the obstacle, the legal and commercial choices, and what changed for the client.
RUTEX: from a blocking mark to registration.
Obstacle — a cited right blocked the application. Route — non-use cancellation and coordinated prosecution. Result — the obstacle was removed and the mark registered.
Restoring protection for an invalidated patent.
Obstacle — unreliable competitor documents undermined protection. Route — technical evidence and appeal. Result — the invalidation fell and the patent remained in force.
Removing a bad-faith trademark blocker.
Obstacle — an unused registration stopped filing and deliveries. Route — evidence-led cancellation through local counsel. Result — the blocker was removed and deliveries resumed.
Operating model
Built for cross-border instructions.
We organise the route around the question the instructing counsel or rights holder needs answered: what is required, by when, at what stage and with which decision points.
Russian and Eurasian capability
Registered Russian and Eurasian patent attorney capability supports coordinated trademark, patent and design work.
English-language reporting
Concise reports distinguish the rule, the procedural position, the risk and the recommended next step.
Local coordination where required
For Central Asian jurisdictions, work is coordinated through established local counsel rather than presented as a proprietary office network.
People
