The Russian State Duma has adopted a bill on the legalization of parallel imports, when goods are imported without the permission of the copyright holder. In essence, this means that the aggressor has legalized smuggling.
Russian media write about the new law.
The rule will apply to some products
The new document says: “the use of the results of intellectual activity, expressed in goods, and the means of individualization with which such goods are marked, is not a violation.”
That is, Russian companies, without any punishment, will be able to import products into the country without the permission of manufacturers or copyright holders. Such imports are called parallel because at the same time companies legally supply products from official dealers.
At the same time, the list of goods covered by the law was approved in early May by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. In particular, it included the following:
- oil;
- cosmetics;
- paper;
- clothes;
- televisions;
- cameras and cars, etc.
The list also includes popular brands such as Apple, Asus, Bentley, HP, Panasonic, Samsung, Nokia, Sony and others. In this way, you can also import goods from most popular automotive brands.
