A third-instance economic court in Moscow prohibited the publication and distribution of the journal “Chelovek i Zakon” (Man and Law), which is published by the Ministry of Justice, because of an intellectual property dispute with a TV program bearing the same name. The journal has been published uninterruptedly since 1971. The program has been broadcasted since 1998. In 2002, the program owners registered the trademark “Chelovek i Zakon,” and in 2009, they sued the journal for trademark infringement. After protracted proceedings, courts in three instances have held for the plaintiff.
