Retail is a widespread business in Ukraine, which faces a number of issues related to the protection of intellectual property rights. As any market player, retailers should take care of protecting their own commercial name, registering the name as a trademark. Moreover, there is a tendency for supermarkets to produce their own line of products under their own brand (the so-called Private Lable). It is important to pursue the correct approach to the registration process of such a Private Lable in order to avoid third parties rights infringement.
Nowadays disclosure of confidential information by former employees became more frequent. According to the general rule, an affected entity cannot neither punish wrongdoers nor obtain compensation for such a disclosure because the information did not have a commercial secret status. We have a significant experience in processing the internal documentation of the enterprise and drafting agreements with the order of non-disclosure.
