| Title | TRADEMARK LAW AS PROTECTION FROM ACTS OF UNFAIR COMPETITION. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR GEORGIA |
| Summary | This paper addresses the problem of unfair competition acts which take place in relation with trademarks, notably the acts of jeopardizing others goodwill. After reviewing the main characteristics of trademark protection approaches in the United States and Europe, the thesis deals with the question of their possible impact on preventing acts of unfair competition. Thesis takes a position that trademark protection works better as a tool against unfair competition in a system where condition of use is somehow linked to acquisition of exclusive rights, especially in the countries where unfair competition laws are based on tort law principles. Emphasis is placed on problematic issues in Georgia as a developing market, which as the party of Association Agreement with European Union has to face new challenges in the trade related fields. The thesis suggests that Georgia should implement protection mechanism in trademark law for those who own and use unregistered trademarks in their business. |
