Sayenko Kharenko won a design patent dispute
Sayenko Kharenko’s IP team successfully defended the interests of Podravka d.d in litigation regarding the invalidation of an offensive design patent that infringes on the Podravka’s rights in its trademarks. The offensive design patent was initially obtained by an individual for the one essential part of the well-known trademark Vegeta. On 28 July 2015 the Solomyanskiy District Court of Kiev ruled on invalidation of the design patent that lacks novelty and infringes the rights of Podravka d.d. Podravka d.d. was represented by Sayenko Kharenko’s senior associate Oleg Klymchuk, supervised by partner Oleksandr Padalka.
