Trademark Litigation Costs in Armenia

The costs associated with trademark litigation in Armenia can vary depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the need for expert opinions, translation costs, and whether preliminary injunctions or provisional remedies are sought. Here is an overview of the typical costs involved in trademark litigation in Armenia:

1. Attorneys' Fees: The attorneys' fees for filing and prosecuting a trademark infringement action in the court of first instance in Armenia can range from $2,000 to $5,000. These fees may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the legal counsel chosen. Appeal proceedings often involve lower attorneys' fees as the subject matter may be more limited.

2. Court Fees: Court fees are based on the value in dispute and are calculated at a rate of 2% for trial courts and 3% for appellate courts. These fees need to be advanced to the court and will vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

3. Recovery of Attorneys' Fees: At the end of a trademark litigation action, the court may award attorneys' fees to the prevailing party. However, the amount that can be recovered is typically a percentage of the actual costs incurred, often ranging from 30% to 50% of the total costs.

4. Additional Costs: Additional costs may be incurred for expert opinions, translation services, marketing reports, market surveys, and other case-specific requirements.

5. Criminal Actions: Trademark infringement cases prosecuted under criminal law may involve lower costs compared to civil actions because government authorities conduct investigations. However, legal counsel may still be needed for various aspects of the case.
