Commission`s Opinion – EU acquis Chapter 7

Early stage of preparation (1)

Overall, the alignment of Ukraine with the acquis on intellectual property law is at an early stage of preparation. The country should continue aligning its legislation with the EU acquis and in particular improve its enforcement record in this area. The fight against counterfeit products should be stepped up across all enforcement institutions. Ukraine should take advantage of its cooperation with the EUIPO to strengthen its institutional capacities and better protect IPRs.
