Determination of the free use of the trademark by third parties without the consent of the copyright holder in the territory of the Russian Federation. 2. Analysis of civil law, criminal law, administrative and legal methods of protecting a trademark. 3. Justification of the effectiveness of the civil law method of protecting the right to a trademark. 4. Development of a methodology for calculating damage, the concept of repeated acts within the framework of Article 180 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. 5. Development of the grounds for exemption from administrative liability in connection with the reconciliation of the parties and compensation for harm caused to the injured party. 6. Issues of narrowing the capabilities of the copyright holder to combat parallel imports. The master's thesis is aimed at solving problems arising from the application of methods for protecting trademark rights.
