Finnish Government,
The Finnish Defence Forces are investigating what they suspect is unauthorised copying of the M05 camouflage pattern by the Russian military, Finnish business daily Taloussanomat reported on its website Tuesday.
The M05 battledress pattern is a protected design.
According to Taloussanomat, a pattern bearing striking resemblance to the M05 had been seen in Russia's Yeger battledress in news footage.
Raija Ketola of the Finnish Defence Force's quartermaster depot was quoted as saying by Taloussanomat that the issue would be raised with the Russian authorities if need be.
