REASONS AND EXAMPLES OF CANCELLATION OF TRADEMARK REGISTRATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA

Summary/Abstract: Through the cases from the practice of the State Office for Industrial Property, the paper analyzes the legal solutions regarding the absolute reasons for refusal of a trademark in the Republic of North Macedonia. Although certain legal absolute regulations are the most common reasons for refusal of trademark registration, in practice there are also rare examples in which we have refusal of registration on other grounds but which are in accordance with appropriate legal solutions. In some cases we have references to other laws that prohibit trademark registration in general or prohibit registration without the permission of a competent authority. All these developments will be explained with specific examples. Although the practice of regulating trademark registration in the Republic of North Macedonia is based on a clearly understandable methodology, it can be concluded that in some cases, although there are multiple reasons for refusal, only some of them are listed in the explanation, which allows us to conclude that there is room for development and improvement of the practice
