Mr. Oleksandr Mamunya, senior associate with Vasil Kisil & Partners, spoke on “Legal Protection of Intellectual Property Rights: Practice of Trademark Cases Hearing”, touching upon the core judicial protection elements and the most wide-spread legal remedies available for protecting intellectual property rights to trademarks.
“Intellectual properties in general are corporate intangible assets which are practically impossible to hide and in case of trademarks, trying to conceal them simply would not be wise. Now that the intellectual property infringements are common in Ukraine, in particular, in the alcohol, tobacco and food industries, effective protection of such rights becomes an extremely urgent issue. Moreover, it should be noted that one can protect its intellectual property rights by taking action of legal nature only, rather than actual action. Such properties may be of any value only if effective legal protection is available for them,” underlined Mr. Oleksandr in his report.
