Abstract
<\/strong>The article considers a new provisions concerning unregistered industrial design (hereinafter \u2014 UD), introduced by the Law of Ukraine No 815-IX of 21.07.2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an incomplete reflection in the Association Agreement between the EU and Ukraine and in the adopted Law of the provisions of Council Regulation (EC) No 6\/2002 on Community designs, in particular the lack of implementation of Art. 85 (2) of the Regulation concerning the conditions under which courts consider UD to be valid; and the rulings of the Court of Justice that the right holder must provide evidence that the UD was copied by a third party, Case C-345\/13 etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may result in trolling in Ukraine with the use of UD to prohibit the use of known products or products created independently, bypassing trademarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is actual to:
– provide amendments to the Law of Ukraine \u00abOn protection of rights to industrial designs\u00bb concerning the provisions of Art. 85 (2) of Regulation No 6\/2002 and the case law of the Court of Justice;
– extend the competence of the Appeals Chamber to cases concerning the recognition of UD as invalid;
– amend the Law as well Art. 139, 140 of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine and Art. 151, 153 of the Economic and Procedural Code of Ukraine regarding the provisions of Art. 50 TRIPS which stipulates that judicial authorities shall have the authority to require the applicant to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the applicant is the right holder and that the applicant\u2019s right is being infringed or that such infringement is imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a danger of partial approximation not to the whole EU acquis governing the protection of relevant IP rights which may result in the difficulty of applying implemented provisions of EU acts and developing national case law which could contradict EU case law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
