According to the EU Court, the trademark owner, deprived of rights due to improper use of the trademark, retains the right to demand compensation for damage caused by the use of a similar trademark by a third party before the effective date of the cancellation of the trademark registration. It was concluded that the practical implementation of this right may be associated with difficulties due to non-use of the trademark for five years. Proposals were made regarding the expansion of the powers of the Ukrainian National Office of Intellectual Property and Innovation (UANIPIO) in terms of decision-making on the termination of the trademark certificate, changing the judicial procedure for solving this issue to an administrative one. It is proposed that the term to consider the validity of the certificate terminated is the date of entry of relevant information into the State Register of Certificates of Ukraine for trademarks. Since Ukrainian legislation lacks a provision on an “opposition period” during which an interested individual or legal entity can file an objection to the registration of a trademark, there is the need to improve the procedure for registering trademarks in Ukraine foreseeing the “opposition” period as an obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keywords: <\/strong>intellectual\u00a0property, trademark, certificate,\u00a0NIPO powers<\/p>\n\n\n\n References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0426\u0438\u0432\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u043a\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0434 16 \u0441\u0456\u0447\u043d\u044f 2003 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u2116 435-IV. \u0412\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0412\u0435\u0440\u0445\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0420\u0430\u0434\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438. 2003. \u2116\u2116 40\u221244. \u0421\u0442. 356.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u041f\u0440\u043e \u043e\u0445\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432 \u043d\u0430 \u0437\u043d\u0430\u043a\u0438 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0442\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0440\u0456\u0432 \u0456 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u043b\u0443\u0433 : \u0417\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043d \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0432\u0456\u0434 15 \u0433\u0440\u0443\u0434\u043d\u044f 1993 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u2116 3689-XII. \u0412\u0456\u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0456 \u0412\u0435\u0440\u0445\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0420\u0430\u0434\u0438 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438. 1994. \u2116 7. \u0421\u0442. 36.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u0423\u0433\u043e\u0434\u0430 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0430\u0441\u043e\u0446\u0456\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044e \u043c\u0456\u0436 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u043e\u044e, \u0437 \u043e\u0434\u043d\u0456\u0454\u0457 \u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438, \u0442\u0430 \u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u043c \u0421\u043e\u044e\u0437\u043e\u043c, \u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0435\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0438\u043c \u0441\u043f\u0456\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0440\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u043c \u0437 \u0430\u0442\u043e\u043c\u043d\u043e\u0457 \u0435\u043d\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0456\u0457 \u0456 \u0457\u0445\u043d\u0456\u043c\u0438 \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432\u0430\u043c\u0438-\u0447\u043b\u0435\u043d\u0430\u043c\u0438, \u0437 \u0456\u043d\u0448\u043e\u0457 \u0441\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438. \u041e\u0444\u0456\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0432\u0456\u0441\u043d\u0438\u043a \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438. 2014. \u2116 75. \u0422. 1. \u0421. 83. \u0421\u0442. 2125.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Directive (EU) No. 2015\/2436 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2015 to approximate the laws of the Member States relating to trade marks.

<\/strong>The article is devoted to the study of issues of early termination of the trademark certificate and the procedure of trademark registration under the legislation of Ukraine and EU. The degree of consistency of Ukrainian legislation’s provisions in the legal protection of trademarks with EU legislation was determined. It is concluded that European legislation at the regional level, like the legislation of Ukraine, provides for a “conditional” grace period for the restoration of the use of the trademark. At the same time, the wording of the provision is evaluative and does not correspond to the principle of legal certainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
