Legalmax provided legal representation to an international company in the restaurant industry in proceedings concerning the preservation of trademark protection for the FIND SALT brand in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The potential cancellation of the registration could have led to the loss of exclusive rights, significant reputational harm, and constraints on the client's ability to expand its business in the region. The firm's team conducted a comprehensive legal analysis, developed and executed a protection strategy, and presented a substantiated legal position before the Appeals Board of the Ministry of Justice.
Following the review, the registration of the FIND SALT brand was maintained in full. Legalmax Senior Associate Zarina Ibragimova represented the client before the Ministry of Justice, ensuring the precise articulation and legal substantiation of the trademark owner's position, which had a decisive impact on the outcome of the case.
FIND SALT is among the fastest-growing global restaurant franchises, with a firmly established position in its market segment. Originating from a food truck on Dubai's Kite Beach, the brand has developed into a network of restaurants recognized for its distinctive concept, high-quality products, and an established international community of loyal patrons.
