Ahangaron Hygienic Pro Fined for Unfair Competition

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The Tashkent Regional Territorial Directorate of the Competition Committee has imposed enforcement measures on Ahangaron Hygienic Pro LLC for using a trademark titled “MAMA LYUBIT” that is similar to the foreign brand “MAMA ZNAET” owned by OOO MAMA ZNAET.

The investigation found that the similarity of the trademarks misled consumers and infringed the company’s rights to use its original brand.

Ahangaron Hygienic Pro LLC was found to have violated Article 21 of the Law on Competition. As a result, the company was subjected to a financial penalty and issued binding instructions to eliminate the violation and prevent similar cases in the future.

In accordance with the methodology for identifying unfair competition, the replication of a competitor’s external design, name, labeling, packaging, or color scheme with the aim of restricting the sale of the original products is considered one of the forms of unfair competition.
