The Firm

Case Overview:

Marmeladnaya Skazka LLC, a producer of exclusive handcrafted marmalade from the Tver region, faced a real risk of unlawful copying of its products. The company’s unique marmalade figurines, decorated with artistic painting, lacked legal protection, leaving them vulnerable to unfair competitors. Given the growing demand for original products, the company recognized the need to establish legal mechanisms to protect its intellectual property. Addressing this challenge required the involvement of experts with deep knowledge in patent law and industrial design registration.

Scope of Services

• Development of an intellectual property protection strategy tailored to the specifics of the product and the market.
• Preparation of a complete set of documents for the registration of more than 30 industrial designs.
• Filing applications with the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) and full support of the administrative proceedings at all stages.
• Consulting on the registrability of the designs and optimization of the registration process.

Significance and Results for the Client

The project was carried out by patent-law experts who are now part of the ALPERIYA PARTNERS legal team. Their deep expertise and knowledge of the specific procedures involved in working with Rospatent made it possible to achieve the following results:

Key Achievements:

• More than 30 industrial designs have been successfully registered, ensuring legal protection for the company’s entire range of unique products.
• All submitted applications passed FIPS examination without any comments or additional requests, demonstrating the high quality of the documentation prepared.
• A reliable legal barrier has been established, enabling the company to effectively counter attempts at copying and safeguard its market position.

Significance for the Business:

• The creative and financial investments made in the product design have been fully protected.
• The industrial designs have become intangible assets that increase the company’s value and create opportunities for commercialization (such as franchising or licensing).
• Consumer and partner confidence has been strengthened, with the brand now associated with reliability and originality.
• The company has obtained a legal instrument to prevent infringements and recover damages, significantly reducing the risks of unfair competition.
