Apple suspended online sales in Russia in March 2022 due to the start of military operations in Ukraine. At the same time, the company limited the operation of its Apple Pay payment service in the country, which Russians used to pay through terminals.
Patent attorney of the Online Patent company Alina Sidorova noted in an interview with RB.RU that foreign companies renew trademarks in Russia in order to maintain the monopoly of their brands in the country, as well as protect their rights and be able to demand compensation in the amount of up to 5 million rubles for illegal use of stamps.
Earlier, the American manufacturer Kimberly-Clark extended the protection of its Huggies brand of baby diapers in Russia until 2034.
