MOSCOW - On October 13, 2015, new administrative rules on declaring trademarks well known entered into force in Russia.
The main change concerns the prescribed time limit for the Rospatent to determine whether a trademark is well known. While there used to be no time limit, under the new rules, this term is maximum 10 months from the date of application for recognition of a well-known mark through administrative proceedings.
