Our colleagues, Florina Firaru, Managing Associate and Head of our Intellectual Property practice, Dariana Istrate, Senior Associate (Intellectual Property practice) and Razvan Banta, Associate in the Dispute Resolution practice, attended the conference “Unfair Competition and the Protection of Distinctive Signs”, organized under the auspices of the Working Group on Intellectual Property Issues (WGIPPI), in collaboration with the ICCJ Public Prosecutor’s Office, the US Department of Justice – International Computer Hacking & Intellectual Property Program (ICHIP) and the Scientific Association of Intellectual Property Law (ASDPI).
NNDKP has obtained a major success, confirmed by a final decision of the High Court of Cassation and Justice (HCCJ), namely the annulment of a fine in excess of lei 24 million (approximately Euro 5 million) applied by the Competition Council for allegedly establishing anticompetitive agreements intended to limit prices in the context of the promotional campaigns carried out at the level of food retail chains between 2005 – 2009.
