Possibility of individuals filing trademark applications on the horizon

Olga Plyasunova Under Article 1478 of the Russian Civil Code, only legal entities or individual entrepreneurs may own the exclusive rights to a trademark in Russia. In accordance with Paragraph 1 of Article 1477, “an exclusive right certified by a trademark certificate (Article 1481 hereof) is recognized for the trademark, i.e., a designation serving for individualizing goods of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs”. Similarly, service marks are used to individualise and distinguish the services provided and the scope of persons entitled to file an application is similar. However, a significant increase in the number of people who are self-employed in Russia – largely caused by the covid-19 pandemic – has confirmed the need to amend this legislation. In this regard, the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has made the relevant draft law available on its official website.
