In the previous articles, we have touched on trademarks many times speaking about types, protection and more. Today, we will try to find out what will happen if we use the trademark illegally.
Trademark, as we know, is one of the main means of distinguishing goods and services in market diversity.
Only the trademark owner can use it, and others do not have this right unless they have a license to use it.
Although the use of trademarks is prohibited by other persons, there are sometimes violations that we will talk about in our article.
Illegal use may be the use of a trademark on a product, labels, or packaging. That is, they use a trademark of any reputable brand to sell the product. Trademark is also used illegally in advertisements.
Once a trademark or any mark is used without the consent of the goods and services for which the trademark is registered, the holder has an exclusive right to prohibit.
Only those persons who have this right under a license have the right to use.
The violators of the law are liable for unlawful use of the trademark in a manner prescribed by law.
Both the use of the sign and the non-use can cause problems.
For example, there are types of goods on which a trademark is necessary. Trademarks should definitely be on food products, medicines, industrial products, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and etc. The list of products is approved by the Government.
According to the Civil Code of RA, the trademark and service mark is used to distinguish goods and services. Legal protection of a trademark should be provided on the basis of its state registration as prescribed by law. The fact of registration of a trademark and the right to it are certified by a certificate.
