Pro Bono legal advice to Artexim, the organiser of the George Enescu International Festival in a complex IP dispute

Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații has provided pro bono legal assistance to George Enescu International Festival organizer Artexim in a dispute with the Historic Auction House in connection with the auctioning of manuscripts and a violin that had presumably belonged to Romanian composer George Enescu.

The Țuca Zbârcea & Asociații team included Partner Ioana Hrisafi and Associate Alin Ionescu.

In October, Artexim announced it had "won both the lawsuit and the appeal filed by the Historic Auction House, [seeking] to obtain a presidential ordinance" that would compel Artexim to remove the press release from its website. According to Artexim's announcement, on October 7, 2021, the court of appeal upheld the decision issued on September 13, 2021, by the court of first instance, rejecting the auction house's demands.
