MIMS Automobility Moscow (the International Trade Fair for Automotive Production, Aftermarket and Service Industry) took place in Moscow from August 19 to 22, 2024/
Having attended such a large-scale event and communicating with the rights holders, importers and distributors, TKM International Consulting experts identify the significant threats to IP rights in the sector of automotive components, fluids, oils and accessories:
- huge quantities of counterfeit in Russia (according to «Autostat» survey more than 52% of retail sales and more than 43% of marketplaces sales in 2024 are occupied by counterfeit products)
- illegal use of trademarks of well-known brands that have left the Russian market, including trademarks with expired registration period
- illegal use of patented technologies
- registration of confusingly similar trademarks
- import of goods by unauthorized importers without the knowledge of rights holders and official distributors.
Taking into account the rising trend for new brands to enter the Russian automotive market, we consider vital that the rights holders protect their goods:
- perform online and offline monitoring of counterfeit
- monitor and prevent registration of confusingly similar trademarks
- achieve financial compensations for the violations of IP rights
- register patents for creations, inventions and industrial designs
- control imports and distribution, detecting and blocking the illegal circulation
