Wagner soft drinks may appear in the Russian Federation. An application from the Ryazan company Vega has been filed with Rospatent.
The choice of the name is due to the personal sympathy of the company's owner Vladimir Korolev for the work of German composer Richard Wagner. This is reported by RosSMI.
The brand "Wagner" in the Russian Federation has recently been associated with a private military company of the same name, created by businessman Evgeny Prigozhin.
It is reported that in this regard, problems may arise during the examination, according to the patent attorney of the company "Online Patent".
It is specified that when making a decision Rospatent will focus not only on the historical context, but also on the modern one. Ambiguous associations and ambiguity of the name may also become reasons for refusal of registration, the expert explained.
