Trademark registration in Ukraine
The sign for the goods and services (the trademark) - is a designation under which goods and services of one person are different from goods and services of others. Object of the trademark can be verbal, visual, volumetric, and other designations or combinations, made in any color combination. The relations arising in connection with the acquisition and implementation of property rights to the trademark in Ukraine, are governed by the Law of Ukraine "On Protection of Rights to Marks for Goods and Services" from 15.12.1993, N 3689, with amendments. Ownership of the trademark is proven by a certificate. Validity of the trademark certificate is 10 years from the date of filing with the Patent Office and may be renewed each time for 10 years at the request of its owner, filed in the last year of the certificate s validity upon payment of the appropriate state fee.. The scope of legal protection given in the certificate is determined by the image of the trademark, as well as the list of goods and services for which the trademark is registered. A trademark certificate is a legal basis for affiliation of the mark with a particular person and evidence of his/her exclusive right to possess, use and dispose of the sign at his/her discretion (to transfer under the contract the ownership of the trademark or under a license agreement to grant permission to use by any person, and prohibit other people from using the trademark without permission from the owner). To increase the degree of legal protection of a trademark a document recognizing that trademark is well-known in Ukraine can be received. The recognition that the trademark is well known in Ukraine is a significant advantage to its owner: firstly, the trademark is protected regardless of whether the application is submitted for registration of a trademark or not, and, secondly, the legal protection also extends to goods and services unrelated to those for which the trademark is recognized well-known, if the owner thinks that it is harmful to his/her interest. But for legal protection decision by the Appeals Chamber or the court is needed, in this case, the legal protection is granted starting the date, on which, according to the decision, sign was a declared a well-known in Ukraine. Trademark is in use when it is placed on the packaging, in advertising, newspapers, signboards, when displaying exhibits in exhibitions and fairs, brochures, invoices, form letters and other documents related to the introduction of these products and (or) services in economic turnover. Any encroachment on the rights of the owner of the trademark is considered a violation of his rights and is punishable under applicable law.
