PR Legal has successfully defended the interests of coffee producer and manufacturer Strauss Adriatic in a dispute over the alleged infringement of the "C Kafa" trademark.

According to PR Legal, "this judgment passed following litigation that was run for several years against a local coffee manufacturer for imitating the 'C Kafa' trademark, which is well-known in Serbia and in neighboring countries as a symbol of high reputation. Besides establishing the trademark infringement, the judgment also prohibited the performance of the illicit activity in the future and sustained other requests in terms of destroying confiscated goods at the cost of the defendant, publication of the judgment in daily press and compensation of procedural costs."

In addition, PR Legal reports, "another legal curiosity is that the Commercial Court of Appeal also sustained a special request of the plaintiff for payment of license compensation instead of damage compensation, which can be awarded in cases of intended trademark infringement, and ordered the defendant to pay approximately EUR 45,000.

PR Legal's team was led by Partner Milan Petrovic.
