The Leningradskiy District Court in Kaliningrad ruled in favor of Sojuzpatent’s client, Hasbro Inc. (USA), in an administrative offense case against an importer of counterfeit goods after a customs seizure of the infringing goods.
Hasbro Inc. filed a petition to bring the importer to administrative liability for importing infringing goods containing illegal reproduction of the characters of the animated series “My Little Pony – Friendship is magic” copyrighted by Hasbro. Customs seized the infringing goods on the grounds of Hasbro’s petition and filed a lawsuit to the Court.
Having considered the case, the court satisfied the claims and brought the importer of the counterfeit goods to administrative liability under part 1 of Article 7.12 of the Russian Administrative Offenses Code with a warning and confiscation of the infringing goods containing an illegal reproduction of the cartoon characters.
