Management Committee of Sochi-2014 Olympic Games intends to protect all symbols connected with the Olympic Games, including: Olympic and para-Olympic symbols; flag; emblem; Talisman of the Olympic Games in Sochi; words “Olympic”, “Olympic Games”, “Sochi-2014” and all derivatives thereof in the Russian language and in the Latin alphabet; In compliance with the international practice, only the Management Committee or the companies having paid for their use are entitled to enjoy the rights for use of the Olympic symbols for commercial purposes. The Committee firstly will conduct explanatory campaign and after that will undertake prohibition of illegal use of the Olympic symbols. Fighting against illegal use of the Olympic symbols has become urgent indeed, because Olympic Games rights have been already violated by small and big companies.
