Case No. 1:04cv8510 (March 31, 2006). In the Southern District of New York, Judge George B. Daniels granted a motion by Kenyon & Kenyon and dismissed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the owner of the STOLICHNAYA brand vodka, ruling that Kenyon's client Allied Domecq has incontestable rights to the STOLICHNAYA trademark. In issuing the order, the Court turned away claims by a Russian organization, Federal Treasure Enterprise Sojuzplodoimport (FTE) that the trademark rights belong to FTE, holding that FTE had raised no basis to challenge Allied Domecq's ownership. The Court also dismissed a copyright infringement allegation contained in the lawsuit. FTE claimed to have obtained rights from the Russian government, and was joined in the case by a would-be competitor of Allied Domecq.
