Frequently asked questions
FAQs on current IP situation in Ukraine
General
It is important to remember that the IP legislation of Ukraine is based on the first-to-file, not first-to-use principle. Failure to renew a trademark registration or delaying the filing of a new trademark application may result in a third party acquiring rights to an identical or confusingly similar trademark.
We encourage companies and entrepreneurs to look to the future. The situation in Ukraine will change. It is much easier and less expensive to maintain IP rights than to restore or re-acquire lost rights.
