The game is the opposite: the Russian online casino requires 1 million rubles from Apple for the illegal use of trademarks
Crestoria Holdings, which previously owned the brand of the well-known online casino Vulkan, filed a lawsuit against Apple Rus LLC with the Moscow Arbitration Court. The company requires Apple to stop violating trademark exclusive rights and intends to seek compensation of 1 million rubles. The plaintiff also demanded that Apple "publish a voluntary admission of the violation, indicating the actual owner in the already installed applications from the AppStore on Apple devices."
Crestoria Holdings is registered in the British Virgin Islands, its owners are unknown. According to the Rospatent base, the Million trademark and the Million Game Club are owned by Crestoria Holdings. Until June 2014, she owned the rights to the Vulkan brand, which is used by the casino of the same name.
The network of gambling halls "Volcano" and the regional gaming network "Million" were previously part of the holding Ritzio International , controlled by the Finstar investment group Oleg Boyko.

The dispute with Apple is most likely related exclusively to the Victory trademark, which is used by the Victory State Lottery Company , Ms. Shishkina told Kommersant. Until February 2015, the company belonged to Oleg Boyko.
"Oleg Boyko sold the company" State Lottery Victory "in February last year to the top management of the company Crestoria Holdings," said Ms. Shishkina. “Most likely, this is an attempt by lawyers to sue money from the Russian AppStore for improperly hosting lottery applications under the Victory logo,” she believes.
This is not the first attempt to sue Apple for placing trademarks in the Russian AppStore. In January 2013, Russian Railways OJSC required Apple 2 million rubles for the fact that an independent developer of the Russian Railways Tarif mobile application used the Russian Railways logo in the design and then placed it in the AppStore. In February 2014, the court rejected the claim of the Russian Railways, but before that the mobile application developer updated the program, removed the monopoly logo from it.
But the reverse is more common. Not later than in December, the ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal upheld the decision to recover from four companies 1.7 million rubles in favor of Apple for the illegal use of trademarks. About it writes RAPS with reference to the materials of the court.
We are talking about the companies LLC "Profit", LLC "Electrotechprom", LLC "Argo", LLC "Madzhesta Plus", which in turn managed the online store apl-msk.ru, where the counterfeit goods were sold. From them, Apple demanded to recover 15.5 million rubles for the use of Apple, iPhone and iPad trademarks in the name of an online store, on the site’s pages, in the sale of counterfeit goods, and in cash receipts when selling products.
