Legalmax law firm has successfully protected the interests of the Hollywood film company.

egalmax law firm has successfully protected the interests of the Hollywood film company disputing unfair trade mark registration of the world famous cartoon character.

The lawyers and patent attorneys represented the interests of the American film company in the case of invalidation the trademark registration (the name of famous cartoon character) by local company whose scope of activities includes unfair registration and capture of international brands.

Unfair trademark registration was identical to the name of the world-famous animation cartoon - a comedy full-length animated film created and released in 2010. The trademark contains the name of the main character.

As a result of strong and well-reasoned legal position and presentation of the series of documents proving the ownership of the animation film name and its characters to the copyright objects (copyright certificates US Copyright office, Uzbekistan rental certificates etc.) the Agency on Intellectual Property of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted decision on invalidation of the registered trademark in the name of Uzbek company with its further registration to the name of true owner.

Currently the main character of the animated film has its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
