Just protected themselves: Mercedes-Benz filed three applications with Rospatent

Deliveries of German cars to the Russian market ceased in 2022

In 2025, the German concern Mercedes-Benz applied for registration of the S 600 trademark and two logos. This is confirmed by the materials of the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent).

The applications were received from Germany in September last year from «Мерседес-Бенц Груп АГ». Registration is provided for in classes No. 12, 37 of the ICGS and applies to cars and components, repair and maintenance services.

The former Mercedes plant in the Moscow region is now owned by the «Автодом» Group. The company explained that the registration of trademarks in Russia is necessary to protect copyright. However, it is impossible to say with certainty that the German manufacturer plans to return to the Russian market.

Brand registration is simply a protective step to prevent copyright from being used by anyone.

The source added that «Автодом» Group maintains contacts with German colleagues. However, there is no talk of car deliveries yet.

As a reminder, Mercedes-Benz curtailed its activities in Russia in 2022. The decision was due to the tightening of Western sanctions against the Russian Federation.
