Looking for signs on Clubhouse. Comment by Konstantin Suvorov for the “Kommersant” newspaper.

Given the growing popularity of the closed social network Clubhouse, Russian companies have submitted several applications for the similar trademark name. Among the applicants are Ivan Tavrin's “Choose Radio” holding and the St. Petersburg web development studio. In case Rospatent approves at least one application, companies will have the opportunity to influence the operation of the social network in Russia. Experts and lawyers believe that due to the popularity of Clubhouse, the applicants have little chance of obtaining a trademark. At the same time, the owners of the social network have not yet tried to register it in Russia. Comment by Konstantin Suvorov for the “Kommersant” newspaper.
