Recent experience:

This series of intellectual property disputes over a cashless fuel payment solution for petrol stations created a legal precedent for the Russian jurisdiction. Thanks to our legal support involving a complex digital forensic examination, the court reaffirmed the ban on and penalties for reverse engineering and decompilation of the source code for the cloud-based digital payment platform (SaaS).

Bio Rad’s glycated hemoglobin analyzer is used to diagnose diabetes with a particular accuracy achieved with a pre-set blood testing mechanism. Our team defended the company against Rosstandard, the Russian standardization agency. By demonstrating the operating principles of the software used in the device, our lawyers proved to the court that the medical analyzer cannot be classified as a measuring device, thus saving our client significant financial losses and the risk of import restrictions.

Bio Rad Laboratories

Our client, Chelyabinsk Pipe-rolling Plant, a leading metallurgical company, is the owner of patent-protected technologies for welded and seamless pipe manufacturing. Our team proved that technical solutions used by the opposing party in its business are identical to the patented laser-arc welding technology of our client. The infringement of intellectual property rights was discontinued, and the perpetrator was held liable under civil law.
