According to information from the Rospatent database, the trademarks are registered under class №9 of the International Classification of Goods and Services, which includes music players, televisions, and telephones.

Since March 2022, the Japanese conglomerate has suspended the supply of Sony Playstation game consoles, as well as peripherals, to the Russian market. Soon, the Playstation Store digital game store became unavailable to users from the Russian Federation.

By March 2024, the conglomerate had sold off its goods in Russia. However, Sony still receives income from servicing equipment under warranty and administrative support services.
