    One can witness an increase in the volume and complexity of trademark cases in Lithuania during the past few years.

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.
