Alltech Inc. Successfully Resolves Trademark Opposition Case Against ACTIZEN in Latvia

The U.S.-based company Alltech Inc., which markets animal feed additives under the trademark ACTIGEN including in the EU, has successfully resolved a trademark dispute with Latvian company SIA Sagitus regarding the latter’s registration of the trademark ACTIZEN in Latvia for goods under Class 5, covering medicines and dietary supplements, including those intended for animals.

To protect its brand and market position Alltech Inc. filed an opposition against the registration of ACTIZEN in Latvia. The dispute was settled amicably with SIA Sagitus agreeing to limit the scope of the ACTIZEN trademark registration in Latvia so that the registered goods do not include any references to animals.

The case was initiated in August 2024 and successfully concluded in January 2025.

The matter was handled by Ellex in Latvia Partner Mārtiņš Gailis and Associate Anna Marta Riekstiņa.
