In his column for the website of the Ukrinform agency, Kremin noted that he was surprised by the hundreds of trademarks whose names contain Russian words.
He added that the re-registration process and the actions associated with “trade self-cleaning” require certain costs from businessmen, but this, according to the commissioner, “is not a question of money, but of consciousness, reputation and responsibility.”
“Business must respond promptly to the request of civil society and act accordingly,” Kremin wrote.
It is worth noting that the law on the state language adopted in Ukraine does not provide for any restrictions on the language of trademarks and allows their use in the form in which they are granted legal protection.
Earlier, the Dumskaya publication reported that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba suggested to his German colleague Annalena Bärbock to use the Ukrainian version of the name of Odessa.
