Trademarks for Uncle Vanya, McDuck and more brands using logos similar to McDonald's have been filed in Russia.
“That Peppa Pig decision turned a lot of heads because it really gave a signal that the courts have probably been ordered to start to allow the piracy of, and the infringement of, IP owned by Western companies,” Gerben told The Post.This is an unprecedented period for many U.S. companies. It’s the first time in many decades that the United States is battling — with, at the moment, sanctions, weapons and rhetoric — a country in which many American companies do business.
can fight back against the crippling economic sanctions is to seize the assets of businesses hostile to Russia, including their intellectual property such as logos and slogans, Gerben said.“If you’re Putin and you want to make a point, you will just turn these McDonald’s into something that’s a little bit more Russian and you will operate them,” the attorney said. “You will find someone to operate them.
“We’re at an economic war at the very least,” Gerben said. The seizure of property, including trademarks, “is a tactic that has been used before,” he added. “This is definitely going to be an issue” in Russia. In the future, if the war continues, the McDonald’s locations in Russia could be seized and operated under a new name. But that name might not necessarily be Uncle Vanya. It could be McDuck, McDonald’s, spelled in Cyrillic letters, or something else altogether.
