THE REQUIREMENT TO SUBMIT A NOTIFICATION OF APPROPRIATE CONTENT AND SUBJECT FORM UNDER THE LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND “ON COMBATING UNFAIR COMPETITION”

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the civil law protection method from unfair competition, referred to as the “requirement to provide a notification of the relevant content in the appropriate form,” provided for in subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 of Article 18 of the Law of the Republic of Poland “On Combating Unfair Competition” of April 16, 1993. In light of the shortcomings of the institution of civil law protection from unfair competition in the Republic of Belarus, leading to its ineffectiveness in law enforcement, it is relevant to study the legal experience of foreign countries in this area. Using general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction) and private scientific methods (comparative legal, formal legal, systemic approach, method of judicial practice analysis), an analysis of the indicated and other norms of the legislation of the Republic of Poland, as well as doctrinal approaches of Polish scientists and judicial practice on controversial issues of applying the norms of the Polish Law “On Combating Unfair Competition,” was conducted. In addition, the provisions of Belarusian legislation in the field of civil and legal protection from unfair competition were considered, problems in its application were identified, and proposals for its improvement were formulated. The results obtained by the author can be used in norm-making activities, as well as in further scientific research.
