Protection of rights on IPOs
in court

Patent Attorney of Ukraine Oleksandr Kolosov provides services related to the representation of the interests of the Client to protect the right on intellectual property objects (IPO) in the courts and other bodies, which according to the legislation of Ukraine, take part in the protection of rights on the IPO.

The right on judicial protection means that under certain conditions a person who believes his rights have been violated, may require from a court to make a decision on application of one of the available methods of protection. The court must make a decision of an appropriate content.

Judicial procedure of rights protection is the most perfect for investigation of the truth. Therefore, the court is a basic form of protection of rights on the IPO. The court also invalidates protection documents - patents for inventions, utility models, industrial designs, certificates for trademarks, international registrations that are valid in Ukraine. Grounds for declaring invalid titles may be unsuitability of the object to the conditions of legal protection, including the fact that they were issued in violation of the rights of third parties.

Another way to protect intellectual property rights - an appeal to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. The whole procedure of dispute settlement in the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine is determined by the legislation.

It is also possible to apply for protection of their rights to the Court of Appeal of the State Department of Intellectual Property. In the Court of Appeal administrative disputes are settled. Basically, it is the applicant's objection against the decision to refuse to grant protection for an industrial property.

Protect intellectual property rights is also possible by applying to the State Customs Service of Ukraine. Customs Code of Ukraine adopted 13.03.2012, provides a procedure of entering the IPO in the Customs Register.

Usually act as IPO trademarks and industrial designs (at least - the objects of copyright). The result of entering into the Customs Register of IPO at the request of the owner is that the customs border would stop the party goods imported to the territory of Ukraine in violation of intellectual property rights.

Currently the Ukrainian legislation provides sufficiently effective measures for the protection of intellectual property rights, including criminal liability for violation of intellectual property rights.
