TWIN Media and Capital Legal Services have signed an agreement under which the unique project of The Night of the AD Eaters acquired a legal partner.

The annual ad show is taking place throughout Russia for the 19th time already, with the tour completing on February 16, 2018. It is due to take place in St. Petersburg on December 16, at the Oktyabrsky Grand Concert Hall.

The Night of the AD Eaters is a world-class screen event, where advertisements filmed at different times in different countries are shown. The unique project is a show on the big screen played throughout the night, with three blocks of one-and-a-half hours each being played not as advertisements, but as works of art. The owner of the largest ad collection in the world, author of The Night of the AD Eaters and co-owner of The Night of the AD Eaters brand is a Frenchman named Jean Marie Boursicot.

The group of associates from Capital Legal Services, headed by Senior Associate Elena Berger, will be protecting TWIN Media’s interests in all issues related to IP protection. Because of the special nature of the show, legal protection in this area is most vital for TWIN Media.

The associates of Capital Legal Services have already started work on a particular case where TWIN Media’s rights were violated. On September 29, 2017, a program titled Evening of the Ad Eaters was aired as part of Andrey Malakhov’s talk show On the Air with Andrey Malakhov. Even though the talk show’s producers were notified that by naming the program this way they are violating rights of the trademark owner, they ignored the notice. At present, a lawsuit has been filed on protection of rights.
