The Belarusian enterprise "BelAZ" won a court case against the Russian publisher "Tseykhgauz", which publishes magazines for fans of scale models of machinery and sells such kits online, writes Office Life.
In June 2026, it became known that BelAZ filed a lawsuit against the publisher, demanding 50 thousand Russian rubles (about 620 dollars) in compensation for the violation of exclusive rights to use the trademark "BelAZ".
The reason for the legal proceedings was that employees of the Belarusian enterprise, during monitoring, found a product card with this trademark on the Ozon marketplace. The "Tseykhgauz" publishing house is engaged in publishing magazines for modelers, as well as selling model kits of machinery, including Belarusian quarry dump trucks.
The case was considered under a simplified procedure. The first hearing took place in mid-July, and the last two in October. On October 27, the Arbitration Court of Moscow issued a final decision in favor of the Belarusian enterprise.
However, the court reduced the amount of compensation by more than three times — from 50 thousand to 15 thousand Russian rubles (about 186 dollars). In addition, the publishing house must pay BELAZ 410 rubles (about 5 dollars) in postal expenses and 3 thousand rubles (about 37 dollars) in state duty.
Earlier, BelAZ also filed a lawsuit against the Russian company "Scale", which produces kits for assembling models of machinery, including under the AVD Models brand. Kits mentioning the BelAZ brand were on sale, and the reason for the lawsuit was a quarry dump truck model with the Belarusian manufacturer's trademark found on Ozon.
In this case, BelAZ also won. The enterprise demanded 100 thousand Russian rubles (about 1240 dollars) in compensation, but the court reduced the amount by more than three times — to 30 thousand rubles (about 372 dollars). The "Scale" company must also reimburse 215 rubles (about 2.66 dollars) in postal expenses and pay 3 thousand rubles in state duty.
