independent state in 1991. A new, post-Soviet, trade mark law appeared soon

Trade Mark protection in Latvia – law and practice
/This publication is only in
English/
Intellectual property law and practice in Latvia have made significant progress since the Soviet Union designated and Latvia became independent. The Trade Mark Law currently in force was passed in 1993. During 1999, a new trade mark law is expected to be passed by the Latvian Parliament (Saeima). Judging from the draft, in this new law all the useful experience accumulated under the old law will be taken into account, as well as the responsibilities resulting from membership of international organizations, particularly the WTO.
