The mark is protected in the same way as if the mark was filed for registration in Ukraine from the date, from which the mark is recognized as a well-known mark in Ukraine by the decision of the Appellate Chamber or the court. The protection extends also to the goods and services that are not akin to the goods and services for which the mark is recognized as a well-known mark in Ukraine provided that the use of the mark by another person with respect to such goods and services will indicate that there is a connection between them and the well-known mark owner and his interests probably will be damaged due to such a use.
