Toyota has registered the Corolla trademark in Russia

Toyota has registered a trademark in Russia with the name of the popular Corolla model. Information about the state registration of the trademark appeared in the database of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS).

The copyright holder of the trademark is Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha (also trading as Toyota Motor Corporation) from Japan, the document states. The trademark was registered on March 17, 2026.

The expiration date of the exclusive right is March 28, 2035. The trademark is registered according to Class 12 of the International Classification of Goods and Services (ICTS), which includes automobiles.

Toyota has stopped the supply of new cars to Russia and the production of cars at the plant in St. Petersburg in 2022. The Japanese manufacturer protects trademark rights to limit their use by third parties. Earlier in March, Toyota registered the Avensis trademark in Russia.

According to Focus2Move, the Toyota Corolla ranked third in sales in the global market by the end of 2025, second only to the Toyota RAV4 and the leading electric car, the Tesla Model Y.
