The Boundaries of Legal Protection of Well-Known Trademarks: Problems of Legal Regulation
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The legal protection of well-known trademarks is an exception to the fundamental principles of trademark law, i.e. territorality, registration and „speciality“. The well-known trademark is protected even if it had not been registered according to the national legal regulation of that state, in which protection is sought. The well-known trademark can also be protected even in respect to the goods and (or) services which are not similar to those for which the well-known trademark is used or registered (in case the trademark is registered).
