  • Bad Faith Practice in Lithuania

    One can witness an increase in the volume and complexity of trademark cases in Lithuania during the past few years. Bad faith is one of the most interesting and, probably, the most complicated issue that Lithuanian courts as well as Lithuanian State Patent Bureau1 have recently discussed in a number of their rulings. There is no clear definition neither in law, nor in case practice on what acts should be considered as made in bad faith, therefore, these cases always serve as a basis for extensive public discussions and form grounds for further disputes.
