Agros accused of selling spirit trademark rights to Pernod

According to the Office for the Protection of Industrial Property "Polservice", Agros is passing rights to foreign trademarks of alcohol brands to its major investor France-based Pernord Ricard. Representatives of Polmoses are indignant, because Agros is taking actions, which are against the new regulations about industrial property. According to proposed legislation, which is still awaiting the President's signature, Agros would be obliged to pass all foreign registration rights of those trademarks to Polmoses. Agros spokeswoman Elzbieta Kwiecinska, denies Agros is selling the foreign trademarks adding Agros never transferred and never will transfer any rights to trademark foreign registration to Pernord Ricard.
