Summary/Abstract: The well-known trademarks are a key factor in the corporate image and corporate identity building. They are an asset that, if measured in money, could potentially skyrocket a commercial enterprise to the top of the market. Contractual relationships and legal institutions associated with well-known trademarks are often obscure and imperfect. The question arises to what extent the legal framework of a special pledge of a trademark and specifically of a well-known trademark meets the requirements of commercial and civil turnover. The current article gives an overview of the peculiarities of the applicable law in the field of special pledge and well-known trademarks.
