Protecting international brands in the Russian market since 2017. From preliminary search to certificate issuance — a Rospatent-registered patent attorney handles the entire process on your behalf.
Russia is a vast market with over 140 million consumers. Without a registered trademark, brand protection is impossible.
A Russian trademark certificate allows you to directly block counterfeit and unauthorized listings on major Russian marketplaces such as Ozon and Wildberries.
In case of trademark infringement, you can claim statutory damages of up to 5 million RUB (approx. $55,000). Only a registered trademark receives legal protection.
Registering your trademark with the Customs IP Registry (TROIS) enables Russian customs to seize counterfeit goods at the border.
A registered trademark forms the legal basis for licensing agreements, franchise operations, and partnerships with official Russian distributors.
GETPATENT has been supporting international companies entering the Russian market since 2017, with particular expertise in the cosmetics, consumer goods, and technology sectors. Beyond trademark registration, we provide comprehensive IP services including brand protection and counterfeit enforcement on Russian marketplaces.
