Russian Antitrust Commission Bans Chocolates Similar to Ferrero Rocher
As the legal portal Pravo.ru reported last month, the FAS claimed unfair competition on the basis of trade mark infringement, stating that the packaging and the look of chocolates were confusingly similar to Ferrero’s signature round Nutella-filled chocolates wrapped in gold foil. The case against Konti-Rus was dismissed as the infringer voluntarily admitted violation of Article 14.4, of the Law on Protection of Competition, which prohibits the production and sale of goods infringing intellectual property rights.
