Trademark dispute
OST-Alco, distributors of the Stolnaya brand, has been involved in a running dispute with SPI Group, manufacturers of Stolichnaya brand vodka, concerning trademark rights. SPI claims that the "Stolnaya" brand is confusingly similar to "Stolichnaya". A number of jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom have withdrawn or refused registration of the Stolnaya brand because of SPI's objections.
