At a meeting of the Business Russia Committee, experts discussed topical issues of early termination of trademarks due to non-use

On August 6, 2025, at the site of the Moscow regional branch of Business Russia, a meeting of the Intellectual Property Committee was held under the chairmanship of Sergey Zuykov, where the experts considered the problems of early termination of trademarks due to non-use.

During the meeting of the Committee, proposals were discussed to amend legislation to simplify the procedure for reviewing trademarks in connection with non-use, as well as preserving the validity of the trademark for generic concepts when establishing the use of a trademark for one of the types of goods. To simplify the procedure, it was decided to look for further mechanisms.

In order to narrow the validity of the trademark when considering a claim for its early termination due to non-use, it was decided to prepare appropriate legislative amendments.
