Legal Regulation of Trademarks in European Countries (on the Example of France)

Abstract

At the present stage of development, European countries are faced with the need to harmonize their legal systems by implementing European Union regulations in all spheres of society, including in the field of legal regulation of trademarks. This article will cover aspects of legal regulation of trademarks based on the example of France. It will analyze the types of trademarks, conditions for registering trademarks, requirements for trademarks, as well as contradictions that arise when registering trademarks. In addition, the impact of EU directives and regulations in the field of trademark regulation on the French legal system will be considered. Taking into account the cross-sectoral nature of the legal Institute of intellectual property, the advantages of the French experience, which combines various forms and methods of legal regulation and protection of intellectual property, are justified. The principles of legal protection for the results of any creative and intellectual work in France comply with international standards. In addition to participating in all international acts and agreements, France has its own national legislation in the field of copyright and patent rights. This allows authors and inventors to ensure full protection of their rights from violations.
