On 9 April 2005, the Council of the Federal Chamber of Advocates of the Russian Federation elected the Chairman of the Bar Association of the Moscow Region "Law firm "YUST", Yuri Sergeyevich Pilipenko, to the post of Vice-President of the Chamber.

This case is of practical interest, insofar as the subject of consideration by the courts were issues of the validity of cession of demand rights prior to the expiry of the term of the obligation.

It was earlier reported that the Arbitration Court of the City of Moscow satisfied the claim filed by the company Kolop Stempelerzeugung Skopek GmbH and Co. KG, AT, whose interests were represented by the attorneys of the law firm “YUST”, and bound CJSC “Trodat – S.N.G..”, LLC “Trodat XXI” and LLC “Max Stamp” to desist from violating patent rights. This case is an interesting example of the practice of consideration of disputes connected with exclusive rights to industrial sam-ples.

This order affirmed the list of objects not subject to privatization within the body of the property complex, which includes all buildings and constructions belonging to the enterprise on rights of economic management. Moreover, the Order charged the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Aviatekhsnab” to surrender objects not subject to privatization to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Explorer.” Consequently, the Order of the territorial administration of the Ministry of State Property “Federal Agency for Property in the City of Moscow” violated the rights of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Aviatekhsnab.”
