ArmInfo. In connection with numerous calls of media and foreign
states' embassies, Bi Line company officially states that it is not
going to hold any presentation at Marriott Armenia Hotel in the near
future. ArmInfo was told about this by Be Line.
To recall, it was earlier reported that ArmenTel Company, the
telecommunication operator in Armenia, will start introducing brand
Beeline in Armenia on April 7. The CJSC ArmenTel press-service told
ArmInfo that on April 7 Russian VimpelCom OJSC and its Armenian 100pct
subsidiary ArmeTel CJSC will announce Beeline Day to present the
brand in Armenia. The first Beeline shop will be open in Yerevan. In
addition, VimpelCom leadership will present the plans, strategy and
specifics of the future work of the group of the companies in the
Armenian mobile market.
It is noteworthy that Russian Vimpelcom and Armenian ArmenTel
companies had a legal conflict with Armenian IT-company Bi Line since
the brand actually belongs to the latter. Bi Line intends to appeal
against the decision of the Intellectual Property Agency of Armenia
on registration of a contract between VimpelCom and ArmenTel for
transfer of the right to use Beeline trademark.
Earlier, President of the Armenian Bi Line Company Hayk Khanjyan
called the above decision illegal in an interview with ArmInfo. He
believes all the previous hearings of the case in the Economic
Court biased. Hayk Khanjyan also added if the Court of Appeal does
not make a fair verdict, Bi Line is ready to appeal to international
instances. 'The right to use Bi Line trademark belongs to our company
and cannot be transferred to another party', he says.
