This year, on the 19th of July, JSC Grindeks has submitted a statement of claim to Riga District Court against the JSC \u201eOlainfarm\u201d concerning the nullification of the registration of the trademark MIDOLAT \u041c\u0418\u0414\u041e\u041b\u0410\u0422 (registration number M 60 991) and the prohibition to use the textual designations MIDOLAT and \u041c\u0418\u0414\u041e\u041b\u0410\u0422; besides, an application concerning the assignation of temporary means of protection has also been submitted. JSC Grindeks considers, that \u201cOlainfarm\u201d has purposefully created the mentioned trademark, using the mentioned textual designations in commercial activities, so that the customers would have associations with the widely recognized trade marks MILDRON\u0100TS, \u041c\u0418\u041b\u0414\u0420\u041e\u041d\u0410\u0422 and MILDRONATE of the JSC Grindeks. This is done, in order to acquire unfair advantage for the distribution of their identical medications in Latvia through solid reputation of the trademarks of the JSC Grindeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having evaluated the application on the assignation of temporary means of protection against the JSC \u201eOlainfarm\u201d, which has been submitted by the JSC Grindeks, on 26 July, 2010, Riga District Court has decided to satisfy the application of the JSC Grindeks concerning the assignation of temporary means of protection \u2013 to seize and recall from trade all available medications of the JSC \u201eOlainfarm\u201d, which are labeled with textual designations MIDOLAT and \u041c\u0418\u0414\u041e\u041b\u0410\u0422, as well as to forbid the usage of textual trademark MIDOLAT \u041c\u0418\u0414\u041e\u041b\u0410\u0422 to the JSC \u201eOlainfarm\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The JSC Grindeks considers, that the illegal and unfair activities of the JSC \u201cOlainfarm\u201d might cause major losses and damages to the reputation and discernibility of the widely recognized trade marks MILDRON\u0100TS, \u041c\u0418\u041b\u0414\u0420\u041e\u041d\u0410\u0422 and MILDRONATE of Grindeks in Latvia, as well as in the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chairman of the Board of JSC Grindeks J\u0101nis Romanovskis points out: \u201cMildronate\u00ae is the most demanded original product of Grindeks in the group of heart and cardiovascular medications. It has gained wide recognition among the doctors and patients of Latvia, Lithuania, as well as Russia and other CIS countries. Grindeks has made significant investments in the research and development of Mildronate\u00ae throughout many years. It constantly works to provide the invariably high quality and effectiveness of the product. And we will do everything in order to defend our intellectual property rights, as we consider, that \u201eOlainfarm\u201d has acted in an illegal and unfair manner by creating a product with a similar name, thus using the high reputation and name of Mildronate\u00ae, which is a well-known and appreciated product on the market, as well as by decepting customers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mildronate\u00ae is the most demanded original product of JSC Grindeks, the leading medication in the group of heart and cardiovascular medications. The market has Mildronate\u00ae for over 20 years, and during the last 5 years alone more than 12 millon patients have used this medication. Due to its unique mechanism of action Mildronate\u00ae, depending on the prescribed dose, is widely used for the treatment of different heart and cardiovascular diseases, as well as for the improvement of work capacity of healthy people at physical and mental overloads and during rehabilitation period. The doctors and patients evaluate positively the impact of Mildronate\u00ae. For many years, Mildronate\u00ae has also been acknowledged as the most export-capable product of Latvia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2010, Grindeks has successfully finished the clinical studies on the influence of Mildronate\u00ae on the treatment of angina.
