Blogger Yuri Dud prematurely suspended the trademark "vDud"

Blogger Yury Dud prematurely renounced legal protection of the "vDud" trademark in Russia.

Initially, the exclusive rights to the brand were supposed to be valid until June 2027, but they were terminated early at the request of the rights holder. According to documents, the renunciation was filed in the summer of 2022 - shortly after the blogger was added to the register of foreign agent media.

As of 2025, Dud still has at least four other trademarks registered in Russia.

It was previously reported that if Yury Dud returns to Russia, he will be immediately placed in a detention center.
