“...We didn’t expect brazen theft. Having seen the sparkling wine of our Crimean colleagues “Koktebel” on the shelves of ordinary retail stores. The design of their 2018 label is a copy, or rather a parody, of the design of our premium Balaclava line, the trademark of which was officially registered on July 14.07.2016, XNUMX. “Both the font, the arrangement of the bottle’s design elements, and the color refer to the original source, only in a cheaper version,” she wrote.
“...Here the theft is direct, stupid and merciless. People act according to the laws of the jungle, throwing away shame. Well then, guys. One cannot remain silent about this. For this you need to be hit on the wrist and on the reputation. We will oppose this savagery both in the legislative field and in the information field. There is only one plus in this whole story. The plagiarist helps the author understand the value of his work. Thank you, Koktebel. We’ll meet in court,” Georgieva threatens.
