Following Cartier’s motion, the Polish Patent Office (“PPO”) invalidated the CHATIER COOL MEN trademark registered by A & S PARFUME FACTORY Marek Asenkowicz - the biggest Polish manufacturer of look alike products. Asenkowicz’s complaint was dismissed by the Voivodeship Administrative Court. The Supreme Administrative Court in 2013 dismissed Asenkowicz’s cassation.
A & S PARFUME FACTORY Marek Asenkowicz is also facing civil proceedings based on unfair competition and trademark laws initiated by another right holder.
