South Korean electronics maker LG has applied to Russia’s federal intellectual property service to register the “Express Fill” brand in Russia, according to Moscow 24 on January 28.
Moscow 24, citing Rospatent data, said the filing covers categories that include household appliances, kitchen equipment, and devices for industrial production.
The outlet also cited earlier trademark activity by LG in Russia, including the “Nano Detail Enhancer” mark filed in November 2025 and registered in January 2026, and a January 16, 2026 application for “Hyper Radiant Color Tech” in a class that includes software.
LG said on March 19, 2022 it was suspending all shipments to Russia.
