The modern world characterized by the development of a competitive market environment, which over time has significantly strengthened the role of the trademark as an object of intellectual property rights. Trademarks, their system of protection, today is a very important factor of competition that contributes to the successful development of the state and maintaining a high level of international economic relations. Unfortunately, the national legislation in this area has shortcomings, and some rules do not meet the criterion of quality of law, economic and other social realities. A significant advantage of recent decades is the processes of global and regional integration, which has prompted a change in the traditional role of nation-states and awareness of the need to lay the foundations of supranational, interstate and other forms of political unions, territorial associations capable of governing society or continent, a specific place among which is the European Union (EU).
