Vasil Kisil and Partners has successfully represented commercial audio content provider PressCom and its clients Testi Food (which operates the KFC restaurants chain) and Bastet Fem (which operates the Pesto Cafe chain) in a lawsuit brought against them by the Ukrainian League of Copyright and Related Rights for lost profits allegedly arising from their use of PressCom sourced music in their restaurants.
The Northern Commercial Court of Appeal dismissed the claims against KFC and Pesto Cafe, and as a result, the ULCRR also dropped new lawsuits filed against other PressCom clients.
Vasil Kisil & Partners' team consisted of Counsel Ilarion Tomarov and Associate Daria Romashchenko.
