For the second year in a row, World Trademark Review (WTR) 1000 has listed Vasil Kisil & Partners among the top tier trademark firms in Ukraine, and recognized the firm’s professionals as leaders in their field. In describing the firm, WTR writes - “a dynamic team with great potential” also noting that the firm “has made huge strides” since opening its doors 20 years ago.  

In the accompanying editorial, the researchers mention that “VKP’s Litigation is a cornerstone, although in recent years the firm has also established a spectacular reputation for non-contentious work. It now advises on prosecution, licensing and trademark transfers, in addition to dispute resolution, offering clients a comprehensive service. Recently, anti-counterfeiting has become an important focus, as businesses at home become more protective of their marks; however, the outfit is also instructed by global clients on such issues (it acts for Philips in this area and also represents DuPont in trademark infringement cases)”. 

WTR researches have featured VKP’s IP experts Oleksiy Filatov and Oleksandr Mamunya as leading trademark practitioners in Ukraine. The Head of the litigation department Mr Filatov is held in high esteem for his contentious expertise. And Mr Mamunya was acknowledged by high ranking due to the active role he plays in assisting foreign organisations with anti-counterfeiting strategies and seizures, and is particularly noted for his “finely honed trademark litigation skills”.

The WTR 1000 is dedicated to identifying the world’s leading trademark legal service professionals through extensive qualitative research in more than 50 jurisdictions worldwide. It is the only standalone directory to focus exclusively on trademark practices and practitioners.
