Abstract

The scientific article investigates the problem of resolving the conflict of rights to a trade name with the rights to other means of individualization of participants in civil commerce, in particular, a trademark. The ratio and basic principles of resolving conflicts of such rights are determined. To solve this problem, a definition of the concept “trade name” is given, and the content of the terms “trademark”, “geographical indication”, “appellation of origin of goods”, “commercial designation” has also been studied. The author analyzed the structure of the studied means of individualization of participants in civil turnover by identifying similar and heterogeneous features. The content of the
exclusive right to these means of individualization has been clarified. The reasons for the conflict of rights of owners
of various means of individualization are investigated Alternative ways of resolving the conflict of rights to a trade name with rights to other means of individualization are proposed with reference to the norms of national and
international legislation.
