OREANDA-NEWS The Italian Campari Group sued the Russian distributor "Master Trade".The copyright holder of the Aperol brand intends to achieve a ban on the import and sale of the Aperol drink by parallel import, with reference to the materials of the arbitration court, Kommersant reports.
In a lawsuit filed with the Arbitration Court of the Rostov region, the company demanded to take interim measures and prohibit the release of goods in Russia. The hearing on the case is scheduled for October 30
According to Alexander Stavtsev, the head of WineRetail, it is normal for companies that have continued to work in Russia to try to "protect the territory and prevent uncontrolled import of their drinks. Since Aperol is not included in the list of goods allowed for parallel import, it will be difficult for firms importing it to Russia to prove the legality of their actions, added Vasily Zuev, head of Intellectual property Practice at Intellectual Capital.
