Biography of B.E. Boyko is included in the Biographical Encyclopedia Who is Who in Russia" (Who is Who, Verlag fur Personenenzyklopadien, Schweiz).

Three watch manufacturers Rado Uhren AG, Longines Watch Co and Omega AG, members of the Swiss holding Swatch Group with annual revenue of 8.1 billion Swiss francs, banned Online Development LLC and Status LLC, which are part of the St. Petersburg group Northern Watch Company, from importing , store and sell RADO, Omega and Longines watches. The Northern Watch Company (SCHK) owns the Maximtime watch chain and the online store Bestwatch.ru, which has been operating on the market for 13 years. The group is headed by Boris Boyko.

Swatch Group claims to SCHK first emerged back in 2011. Then the manufacturer discovered that the St. Petersburg company, through the website bestwatch.ru, was selling Longines watches imported into Russia without permission. Moreover, according to Russian laws, the owner trademark has the full right to control its sales of the product. Therefore, the company went to court to prohibit unauthorized trading. The Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region sided with the Swiss and, in addition, recovered 3 million rubles from two companies of the group, Bestwatch.ru LLC and Adeliya LLC (the first was engaged in trading, and the second was administering the site). This decision was later confirmed by the Supreme Arbitration Court.

But the trading site the controversial hours did not stop. True, the administration of the site and the sale of watches, according to the arbitration court, were already carried out by other legal entities included in the SCHK, Online Development LLC and Status LLC. In February 2013, three divisions of the Swatch Group filed a lawsuit against the new companies, demanding to stop selling not only Longines watches, but also RADO and Omega. In addition, they demanded monetary compensation in the amount of 18 million rubles. On August 27, the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region satisfied part of the watchmakers’ demands and prohibited the SCHK companies from any transactions with watches of the controversial brands. But they were able to avoid monetary compensation. Representatives of the Swatch Group and the SCHK have not yet commented on the situation. Previously, the head of the SChK, Boris Boyko, publicly called on Russian watch retailers not to comply with the requirements of manufacturers.

“If you are being persistently asked to remove something from the shelves that makes you money,” he said in his address to market participants on the website Youtube.com, “I think the first thing you need to do is show them the door, firmly but without exaggeration. And secondly, you need to write a letter to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Igor Artemyev."

FAS is really the last For a year and a half, he has been actively fighting for the legalization of so-called parallel imports. According to antimonopoly experts, current laws protect transnational corporations to the detriment of the Russian consumer. This is opposed by officials of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, as well as the Ministry of Economy, who believe that the lifting of the ban will lead to an increase in counterfeit goods and will negatively affect the auto industry.

According to the vice-president of the St. Petersburg Patent Association, Valery Mordvinov, although the owners of the site can theoretically continue to circumvent the court decision in the future by changing the legal entity, this is unlikely to last indefinitely.

"Now the courts are not yet accustomed to large amounts of compensation for violation of intellectual rights, but this time will come sooner or later, says Valery Mordvinov. - Already, the number of cases in favor of copyright holders is increasing. Therefore, in the future it will become unprofitable to use someone else’s brand without permission.”
