- 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). Separated from international law, EU law has not completely merged with domestic (national) law, but is an independent legal system with a separate form of lawmaking and law enforcement, specific mechanisms to protect legal norms from violations. The legal system of the European Union is an unprecedented independent legal system, the special development of which differs from individual states that are not part of the Union. That is why the study of the evolution of the EU legal system on the issue of legal protection and trademark protection is extremely important and provides an opportunity to determine the prospects for further development of domestic legislation in this area. The European Union's intellectual property law has been developing rapidly in recent decades, by implementing the legal practical experience of EU member states in the field of intellectual property protection, for which Union law standards are a significant factor in developing national legislation and assessing the effectiveness of such rights.
