The exercise of intellectual property rights is the realization bythe subject of intellectual property rights of moral and / or economic intellectual propertyrights, the content of which in relation to certain objects of intellectual propertyrights is determined by the Civil Code of Ukraine and other laws. The exercise of intellectualproperty rights is also the realization of economic intellectual propertyrights by other persons on the basis of the permission of the person who has the rightto allow the use of such object of intellectual property rights.The Law «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine ConcerningStrengthening the Protection and Protection of Rights to Trademarks and IndustrialDesigns and Counteraction to Patent Trolling» (which entered into force on August16, 2020) has аmended the Law of Ukraine «On Protection of Rights to Marks forGoods and Services» (hereinafter — the Law). The amendments have removed theprovision that a well-known trademark receives the same legal protection as thetrademark for which the certificate is issued. Such changes have created a gap in thelegislation in part of defining what does the exercising of intellectual property rightsto well-known trademarks include.In this connection the following questions arise: (1) can the right to use a wellknownmark (as well as the mark for which the certificate is issued) be the subject ofa license agreement, a commercial concession agreement; (2) whether it is possible tocontribute economic intellectual property rights to a well-known trademark to the authorizedcapital of a legal entity; (3) whether it is possible to transfer such rights onthe basis of an agreement on the transfer of economic intellectual property rights or to provide as collateral. We believe that these issues should be addressed through theadoption of appropriate amendments to Art. 25 of the Law.In our opinion, the right to use a well-known trademark may be the subject of licenseagreements and commercial concession agreements. According to the currentlegislation of Ukraine, it is impossible to transfer economic intellectual propertyrights to a well-known mark to another person.It is expedient to make changes to Art. 25 of the Law, which would provide necessityof creation and functioning of the State register of Ukraine of well-knowntrade marks.The introduction of the proposed amendments to the legislation of Ukraine in thefield of economic intellectual property will help to improve the relevant legal relationsrelated to the exercise of property rights to well-known trademarks.Key words: trademark, well-known trademark, economic intellectual propertyrights, exercise of economic intellectual property rights, assignment (transfer) of economicrights of intellectual property

AbstractTraditional knowledge related to biodiversity, agriculture, medicine and artistic expressions has recently attracted much interest amongst policy makers, legal academics and social scientists. Several United Nations organizations, such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Convention on Biological Diversity under the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), have been working on international models for the protection of such knowledge held by local and indigenous communities. Relevant national, regional or provincial level legislation comes in the form of intellectual property laws and laws related to health, heritage or environmental protection. In practice, however, it has proven difficult to agree on definitions of the subject matter, to delineate local communities and territories holding the knowledge, and to clearly identify the subjects and beneficiaries of the protection. In fact, claims to ‘cultural property’ and heritage have led to conflicts and tensions between communities, regions and nations. This paper will use Southeast Asian examples and case studies to show the importance of concepts such as Zomia, ‘regions of refuge’ and mandala as well as ‘borderlands’ studies to avoid essentialized notions of communities and cultures in order to develop a nuanced understanding of the difficulties for national and international lawmaking in this field. It will also develop a few suggestions on how conflicts and tensions could be avoided or ameliorated.

The scientific article examines the modern mechanism of protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine. Attention is paid to the historically first using of the concept of intellectual property rights in international law and the shortcomings of this definition. The legal definition of this concept contained in the Civil Code of Ukraine is analyzed. It is concluded that the legislative enshrinement of intellectual property rights is evidence of its recognition by the state, and such a right applies to special objects, the list of which is enshrined at both national and international levels. The question of the relationship between the concepts of "protection" and "defense" of civil rights is covered. The main groups of approaches of scientists to the solution of this problem are indicated. An approach that defines "protection" as a general concept for "defense" is supported, where "protection" is a broader concept that covers the term "defense". Emphasis is placed on the fact that although these legal categories are related, they cannot be identified. The main features that distinguish these concepts are listed, and the features of "defense" as an independent concept are highlighted. There are given examples of definition of the concept of protection of intellectual property rights given by scientists. Based on these definitions, the main features of this term are summarized. The issue of forms of protection (jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional) has been studied. The general and special order within the jurisdictional form is distinguished. It is noted about the peculiarities of self-defense as a non-jurisdictional form. The focus is on the judicial (general) procedure for protection of intellectual property rights as the main one. Possible ways of protection (civil, administrative, criminal, and criminal) are analyzed. The problems and shortcomings of the current system of legal protection and protection of intellectual property rights in Ukraine are analyzed. Both reports from international partners and research by Ukrainian scientists were used. The authors outline ways to solve existing problems. The conclusions of the study are formulated and the possibility of further scientific research in this area is indicated.
