The "Volga" Has a New Rights Holder

The company JSC "Passenger Car Production" (PLA) has become the new owner of the "Volga" trademark in the category of automobiles. The relevant materials can be found in the Rospatent database.

PLA is not part of the GAZ Group and has no legal relationship with it, but their head offices are located at the same address. GAZ transferred the production facilities, which previously produced cars under the Skoda and Volkswagen brands, to the joint-stock company.

JSC "Passenger Car Production" plans to start testing its future "Volga" models. For these purposes, state registration plates were obtained that are not associated with vehicle identification numbers (VIN).

Mass production of"Volga" cars, which were first presented in May last year, was supposed to begin before the end of 2024. However, for unknown reasons, the deadlines were postponed.

As a reminder, the revived "Volga" in Russia was promised to be madeno worse than foreign cars. The Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Gleb Nikitin, stated that the cars would not be inferior to Skoda and Volkswagen in terms of quality. The same technological processes will be used on the production lines.

Earlier it became known that the GAZ automobile plant, located in Nizhny Novgorod, would register theVolga trademark in 22 classes of the international classification of goods and services. Under this brand, GAZ will be able to produce cars, buses, stationery, spare parts, accessories and jewelry, as well as clothing and footwear.
