Basic provisions of the law on the protection of rights in marks for goods and services A mark for goods and services means a sign enabling goods or services of one person to be distinguished from the same type of goods or services of another person. The relationships deriving from the acquisition and exploitation of property rights in marks for goods and services in Ukraine are governed by the Law of Ukraine “On the Protection of Rights in Marks for Goods and Services”. Nationals of foreign countries, foreign legal entities, and other persons having their place of residence or permanent stay outside Ukraine must exercise their rights before the State Patent Office of Ukraine through intellectual property representatives (trademark agents).
An application means a set of documents required for issuing a certificate. An application must be drafted in accordance with the “Regulations on the Drafting and Filing of an Application for the Issue of a Certificate of Ukraine for a Mark for Goods and Services”. An application must relate to one mark only. The application must be drawn up in the Ukrainian language and contain a request for registration of the mark, a representation of the claimed sign, a list of the goods and services for which the applicant seeks registration of the mark, grouped in accordance with the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks. |
