The Kalashnikov family has lost the right to the AK-47 trademark

103
In early April, the court granted the claim of the Kalashnikov Concern to the relatives of the famous gunsmith, MT Kalashnikov "" about the early termination of the legal protection of the graphic trademark of the machine gun with the inscription AK-47 "," reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to the information of the court on intellectual property rights.

The Kalashnikov family has lost the right to the AK-47 trademark


“The trademark, which has been litigating since 2014, is a stylized image of a recognizable outline of an automaton with the inscription“ AK-47 ”. The trademark allows its owners to demand license fees for life if entrepreneurs decide to use the protected image for commercial purposes, ”the newspaper explains.

The owners of this sign were the daughter of designer Elena and grandson Igor.

In order to protect their right to a logo, they registered their own enterprise - CJSC “M.T. Kalashnikov ", which produces toy products. At the same time, the heirs of the designer did not limit the production of combat AK-47.

“In June 2014, the Kalashnikov Concern filed a lawsuit against MT Kalashnikov about the early termination of the legal protection of the graphic automaton trademark with the verbal designation“ AK-47 ”in relation to all goods of the so-called 28 class of the International Classification of Goods and services. It includes gaming machines with prepayment, puzzles from a set of elements for drawing up a picture, toys, toys with moving parts or mobile, automatic games without the use of television receivers, board games, games, targets, ”reports the publication.

The concern then stated that “the lawsuit was filed as a result of non-use of trademarks.” It is clear that “a powerful concern has much more opportunities than a family-owned, in fact, an enterprise, producing toys that use the outline of an automaton and its name,” the newspaper notes.

By the way, in 2012, the specialized agency BrandLab valued the Kalashnikov brand $ 10 billion.

According to the information, currently “the concern includes three armory brand: "Kalashnikov" - military weapons, "Baikal" - hunting and civilian weapons, "Izhmash" - sporting weapons ", as well as" Zale Aero "- a manufacturer of UAVs.

    How nasty this petty fuss of a giant concern against the relatives of Mikhail Timofeevich for the name of a brilliant designer !!!
    Still, they would file a lawsuit prohibiting relatives from bearing the surname Kalashnikov. All of them have little money, deaf-eaters !!!

        Exactly - the property of the state, and not of the daughter and grandson. The brand was created in the state design bureau of the times of the USSR, and not in a private shop.

          - That's right. Mikhail Timofeevich did not work like Eugene Stoner.
          At his disposal were machine tools, metal, technology. The mass of samples of foreign weapons. Comprehensive support for engineers. After all, a state resource.

          Although he deservedly is the author of this legendary weapon, how many locksmiths, testers and other people have put their work into this weapon.

          Do it all M.T. Kalashnikov alone is a question, but would he be able to make just such an assault rifle?

          Hence copyright claims are on the side.
          Let’s start now to pull away on brands everything - airplanes, tanks, grenade launchers ...

        I agree with you in part. What is happening now in our economy can be compared to "wild capitalism", when there is a primary accumulation of capital. Only here it has been going on for more than a dozen years. In the Russian Empire, all this passed much faster. And merchants and entrepreneurs - Putilov, Tretyakov, Morozov, Mamontov - were involved in charity work, built schools, hospitals, houses, roads, collected magnificent art collections and donated these collections to society, as they said at the time. Therefore, they are remembered to this day.

                The absence of a card system was "compensated" by speculative prices (cards and are introduced to limit price increases). By the way, sugar was introduced into RI in 1916.
                In the USSR, card distribution was introduced in July 1941, and was canceled in December 1947.
                In the UK, gas cards were canceled in 1950, for sugar and sweets in 1953, for meat in July 1954. (by Wiki).

          Capitalism, however socially oriented it is, is the exploitation of man by man! And this does not mean at all that the one who exploits is more literate, educated, smarter, more than a sleeve, etc. exploited ... More often than not, he’s simply more impudent and unprincipled, more dodgy ...!
          And the example you have given is unsuccessful - under socialism, everything belongs to the people, and it turns out that the people create masterpieces, and then some gentleman then gives them to the same people, so to speak from the noble shoulder!

            And I think that your opinion is not entirely successful.
            The aforementioned people bought works of art all over the world, built museums with their own money (let's not argue, they got them by righteous or unrighteous labor), and access for ordinary people in them was FREE. People who have more than ordinary people paid a symbolic amount to see the masterpieces of world culture. Also, they, the "damned exploiters", donated very substantial sums for the maintenance of theaters, established scholarships for talented artists, composers, musicians and actors.

          But merchants and entrepreneurs - Putilov, Tretyakov, Morozov, Mamontov - did charity work, built schools, hospitals, houses, roads, collected magnificent collections of works of art and donated these collections to society, as they said then. Therefore, they are still remembered.

          If according to Mikhalkov, then yes.
          "Lena shootings", the famine of 1903/04, a 12-14 hour working day with or without one day off (on major church holidays), mass child labor, including in hazardous industries, widespread illiteracy, etc. etc. - the flip side of "charity". And without taking into account the waste of fortunes on actresses and milliners, watering horses with champagne, such antics. Our past is not ideal and must be accepted and remembered "as it is."

      Trademarks are generally a very specific thing (as well as copyrights) - there is no longer a person, but money is coming.
      Considering that, without detracting from the merits of Kalashnikov as a constructor, he created a workable and competitive machine even though the plant (and design bureau in particular).
      Unpleasantly - but apparently the children did not agree with the factory in assessing the brand’s profitability .. Which by and large belonged to the USSR ....
      And by the way, yes, the heirs could have sold to anyone (well, that is, ABSOLUTELY ANY person the rights to the brand - and there would be no Kalashnikovs in the Russian Federation at all (just like there is no champagne other than "Soviet" - the rest of all sparkling wines)

    The bottom line is. Does the Kalashnikov family have the right to profit from the brand is a controversial question, but the answer is accurate if the Kalashnikov family does not receive the Ulyukaev family or the like. We are specifically shown that ordinary people have no rights to property. This is while you have a small kiosk, that's okay, but as soon as everything grew up, the spinning went. A simple example is our Omsk metro building, as soon as it wedged into the state panel, so everyone became interested in someone and obviously not to the deputy of the village council of the village of Perduevka, but certainly at the very top. my wife took a fancy to denyuha.

    Lawyers came up with copyrights to remove money from everyone. I read somewhere that cunning guys registered copyrights for nails and demanded deductions from manufacturers of fences. Fake, but every joke has a fraction of a joke.

      Copyright, especially in its modern form, is evil, both for the end consumer (payment for a brand) and for the development of production (payments "for a brand" to rightholders).

    It would be interesting to know how the factory and relatives dispersed as a result. If they parted amiably and the relatives got away from the factory, it’s good, but if they were simply deprived of all the opportunities for earning on their family value, then this is terribly unfair.

    Although he deservedly is the author of this legendary weapon, how many locksmiths, testers and other people have put their work into this weapon.

    Do it all M.T. Kalashnikov alone is a question, but would he be able to make just such an assault rifle?

    Hence copyright claims are on the side.
    Let's now start pulling away everything on brands - airplanes, tanks, grenade launchers ... [/ quote]
