The Russians appropriated the brand “Melitopol Cherry”

Russians continue to rob and appropriate other people’s property. Thus, Rospatent issued the first so-called certificate of “exclusive right” to the “Melitopol cherry” brand in favor of the occupation administration of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, in particular the Zaporizhzhia region. This is stated in the message of Rospatant.

The Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent) issued the first certificate on the exclusive right to a regional brand. It became the geographical indication “Melitopol cherry”, – the message of the Russian agency says.

Earlier, in 2020, Melitopol cherry received the official title of geographical brand. The application for registration of the geographical indication was submitted in December 2019 by the public union “Association of Melitopol Cherry Producers” (Ukraine).
