On November 25, 2013 the Solomyansky District Court of Kiev found that Philip Morris International Management was the lawful owner of the “Philip Morris International” trade name, and that the domain philipmorrisinternational.com.ua properly belonged to the company.  

An individual using the name and domain was found to be unlawfully infringing on both, and ordered to cease doing so immediately.

Philip Morris was represented by Doubinsky & Osharova Partner Anton Koval, who indicated that the court's judgment reflected well on Ukraine's ability to effectively resolve domain disputes and thus should be understood as a positive development in IP-related jurisprudence.
