“Zuykov & Partners” defended patent rights “Wimax” company

In 2013, Rospatent granted a patent of the Russian Federation No. 84312 for an industrial design “Case for a remote control for household appliances” to “Wimax LLC”.

In 2020, “TREK LLC” submitted an objection to the Patent Office against the granting of a patent to “Wimax” for the abovementioned intellectual property object.

According to the document the objections of  “TREK” was denied, legal protection of a patent “Wimax” for industrial design “Case for the remote household appliances remote control” kept in force.
