Legal advice on intellectual property
Implementing the law is always associated with the difficulties posed by the use of justice and law, which in practice is the cause of legal claims, loss of money, defaults on contracts, violations of the rights of owners of intellectual property.
Violations of copyright, related, patent rights lead to the material and moral damages for authors and other holders of intellectual property rights. Issues related to the payment of royalties, the conclusion of copyright and licensing agreements, using the trademark without the certificate of registration, constantly emerge from the owners of intellectual property rights and are not always solved correctly.
For example, the franchising contract, which is already well-known around the world, has not yet received legislative regulation in Ukraine. In the Ukrainian market, some companies are already working using the franchising system, but in general this method of doing business remains unclear and difficult for most of our businessmen.
Quite complex are the relations of the employer and creator of intellectual property object, such as a service inventions, works of art, created under an employment contract. Who has the exclusive right to such objects: the direct creator or the employer? These and many more questions arise in practice when creating intellectual property objects.
To date, important question is: doing business with foreign companies. Can one start a business if the trade mark or any other intellectual property of a foreign company is not registered on the territory of Ukraine and what to do if such a trademark is already registered?
