Kateryna Drobysheva, Head of the Brands, Designs and Copyright Practice at IPSTYLE, has authored a publication for INTA Bulletin, one of the leading international media resources in the field of intellectual property, specializing in trademark matters.
In the article UKRAINE: Appeal Chamber Clarifies Assessment of Dominant Elements in Trademark Similarity Analysis, the author examines the approach of the Ukrainian Appeal Chamber to assessing dominant elements in the course of trademark similarity analysis.
The publication is based on a recent decision of the Appeal Chamber of the Ukrainian National Office for Intellectual Property and Innovations (UKRNOIVI) and highlights practical aspects of assessing the likelihood of confusion, particularly in cases where trademarks share a common foreign-language element.
The article is of practical relevance both for businesses entering the Ukrainian market and for legal practitioners advising on trademark prosecution and enforcement.
Kateryna Drobysheva serves as a correspondent, contributor for INTA Bulletin and country guide on Ukrainian intellectual property practice at the international level.
