Specialist's projects
Termination of violations by a clone company
Problem
Former employees of Okna Veka after their dismissal registered a company with the same name and also began to use confusingly similar designations on the Internet, including in social networks. This action led to the fact that potential buyers confused the client and his competitor, which led to a decrease in income and caused damage to business reputation

Project work
The company's employees provided full legal support for the dispute:
  • Organization of evidence collection (notarized protocol of website inspection, controlled purchase)
  • Preparation and submission of a claim, filing a statement of claim
  • Representation of interests in the courts of first instance, appeal, and cassation

The result and benefits for the client
The actions of the competitor to use our client's trademark were suppressed, compensation was recovered. An increase in the number of customer applications to the client has been ensured, since buyers have ceased to confuse the two organizations
Protection of a franchisor—the founder of a pet hotel chain—from unscrupulous franchisees
Problem
Frequent situations when franchisees, after receiving the materials necessary for the launch of a pet hotel, refuse the franchise agreement

Project work
  • The form of the franchise agreement has been adjusted to minimize the risk of a lump-sum fee refund after the start of the transfer of the contract by the right holder
  • Comprehensive management of civil disputes in arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction
  • Taking into account judicial practice, we have formed standard drafts of responses to franchisees' claims for the return of a lump-sum fee
The result and benefits for the client
Winning the litigation was extremely important for the client, since a significant part of the profit was formed from payment of lump-sum fees. Negative judicial practice would lead to the fact that unscrupulous counterparties would actually gain free access to know-how and other results of the intellectual activity of the right holder
Petrochas franchise support
Problem
Lack of a procedure for bringing unscrupulous franchisees to justice

Project work
  • Consulting on the possibilities of bringing franchisees to justice
  • Identification of risks arising when working with franchisees
  • Clarification and compilation of a list of violations for which franchisees are liable
  • Preparation of a preliminary franchise agreement in order to prevent franchisees from disrupting negotiations on the conclusion of the main contract
  • Preparation of the main franchise agreement with a tool for holding franchisees liable for its violation
The result and benefits for the client
Preliminary and main commercial concession agreement, taking into account the specifics of the franchisor's activities and leveling its financial risks in case of violations by franchisees

  • Redesigning the traditional model of interaction between users and the telemedicine platform for non-standard business solutions

Problem
