IP Enforcement and Anti-counterfeiting in Russia

We help brand owners use customs tools and targeted enforcement programs to keep counterfeits and grey imports out of the Russian market.

The focus is practical: recordals in the Customs Register of Intellectual Property (TROIS), day-to-day coordination with customs and marketplaces, and clear escalation paths when seizures or disputes arise.

Monitoring and evidence collection
Coordination with civil, administrative and criminal proceedings

Customs Register of IP (TROIS) and border measures

TROIS is the key tool for stopping infringing goods at the border. We organise recordals and follow-up steps so customs officers can identify suspect goods and act with clearer supporting documentation.

Recordal of rights in TROIS

Selecting the right trademarks, designs and other rights for recordal, preparing evidence of genuine products and supply chains, and filing the application with the Russian customs service.

Customs playbook & training

Clear guidelines for customs officers on how to spot counterfeits versus genuine goods, with examples, photos and contact points on your side for quick verification.

Detentions, seizures and follow-up

Supporting customs when goods are detained: verifying authenticity, coordinating expert opinions, preparing submissions and deciding whether to move forward with civil, administrative or criminal steps.

Online & marketplace interface

Aligning border work with takedowns on marketplaces and social media, so that seized goods do not immediately reappear via other channels.

Build or refresh your anti-counterfeiting program

Whether you are just entering the Russian market or already face parallel imports and counterfeits, we can help you design a program that combines TROIS recordals, marketplace work and targeted legal action.
