SETTLE has successfully protected trademark rights of a prominent South Korean multinational automotive manufacturer, effectively halting the unauthorized use of its trademarks in the local automotive parts market in Tashkent (Uzbekistan). This achievement was accomplished through a comprehensive investigation conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan and local law enforcement authorities.
During an inspection carried out in strict adherence to established legal procedures, it was discovered that certain individuals were illegally selling the manufacturer's trademarks without obtaining the consent from the trademark owner. This unauthorized use constitutes a violation under the Code of Administrative Responsibility of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The firm's proactive legal representation and prompt intervention were pivotal in resolving this matter and upholding the integrity of our client’s trademarks. By ensuring the protection of intellectual property rights, SETTLE not only curtailed the distribution of counterfeit products but also bolstered the client’s market position, thereby setting a legal precedent for the industry in Uzbekistan.
