We are pleased to announce that Matouk Bassiouny & Hennawy’s (“MBH”) Intellectual Property Litigation Team has successfully secured and enforced a series of favorable judgments before Egypt’s State Council Courts, leading to the cancellation of multiple infringing trademark registrations for a globally recognized Swiss food and beverage brand with a long-standing international market presence.
The dispute arose when the Egyptian authorities accepted the registration of counterfeit trademarks identical to our client’s and rejected our oppositions. We subsequently appealed before the Administrative Courts, which ruled in our client’s favor and ordered the cancellation of the infringing registrations.
This achievement goes beyond merely securing court rulings—it represents the effective implementation and enforcement of those rulings through the actual removal of the unlawfully registered trademarks that infringed upon our client’s globally renowned brand.
The MBH team that handled these cases was led by Dr. Mohamed Shehata (Partner & Head of Litigation), Ali Abdullah (Litigation Partner), and included Hamada Farahat (Senior Associate, IP Litigator).
Dr. Shehata commented on this achievement, saying: “By fully executing these judgments, we reaffirm our strong commitment to protecting our clients’ intellectual property rights. Our dedication goes beyond obtaining favorable enforceable judgments to include the successful enforcement of these judgments and the application of all relevant laws and regulations safeguarding our clients’ intellectual rights.”
