The latest country guide on IPR in Ukraine complement the current batch of guides of the Observatory on infringements of intellectual property rights covering Brazil, China, the Russian federation and Turkey is now published. This time the Observatory, in cooperation with the European Commission (DG Growth), agreed to follow the style of the IPR Helpdesks’ countries’ factsheets, available here: China, Southeast Asia and Mercosur
The guides provide basic information to intellectual property (IP) rights’ holders and their advisers on the IP protection and enforcement system in the countries concerned. They are intended to provide simple guidelines on how rights holders can protect their IP assets and what to do if their rights are infringed.
Each guide gives some brief background information on the country concerned, outlines the legal framework and identifies significant weak points concerning intellectual property protection and enforcement. Some basic advice is provided together with details of useful contacts. Links to online resources are provided where they are available. You can find the guides in five languages, along with other publications of the Observatory on infringements of intellectual property rights, here as well as on the page that provides support to small businesses, here.
