The Agreement secures rights and obligations of the participating States in the field of use of the International Classification of the Figurative Elements of Marks as a unified means for registration of documents at the international level.
The International Classification of the Figurative Elements of Marks is a unified means for registration of documents at the international level and an effective instrument to be used by the departments and applicants while searching for detection of a distinctive capacity of a figurative mark. The Classification is of administrative character and does not impose obligations for the countries of a Special Union concerning character and rate of legal protection of marks.
Adoption of the Bill (Reg. No.0097) on Ukraine´s Accession to the Vienna Agreement Establishing an International Classification of the Figurative Elements of Marks will facilitate harmonization of the national legislation with the international law.
