SETTLE successfully represented a major pharmaceutical company, defending its IP rights against unauthorized use of a trademark and the importation and distribution of counterfeit products bearing similar designations. Through strategic advice, SETTLE engaged in pre-trial discussions, collaborated with courts and law enforcement, and spearheaded thorough monitoring and investigations.
SETTLE's involvement extended to advocating for the client's rights in both courts and other law enforcement agencies in Uzbekistan. As a result, the import and sale of these counterfeit drugs were halted, culminating in the comprehensive destruction of the stocks.
The challenge was not merely legal but also commercial. The client had faced declining sales due to the lower-priced counterfeit products that deceived unaware consumers. By ensuring the protection of IP rights, SETTLE not only stabilized the client's market position but also set a precedent for others in pharmaceutical industry of Uzbekistan.
