TRADEMARK RIGHT EXHAUSTION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM POST BREXIT

Abstract

The necessity of limiting the powers of the trademark right holder in favor of the public interest has led to the emergence of the principle of exhaustion. After the first sale, the right owner's inability to interfere with the subsequent sales of the branded products defines the principle of exhaustion. In order to talk about the principle of exhaustion, branded products must be put on the market by the right owner. There are three types of exhaustion systems National, regional and international exhaustion. The effect of the chosen exhaustion system is seen on parallel imports. In national and regional exhaustion, it is possible to prevent parallel imports from outside the territory where exhaustion is applied. In places where international exhaustion is practiced, it is not possible to prevent parallel imports. While the United Kingdom (UK) was a member of the European Union (EU), the regional exhaustion system was applied. During the transition period, regional exhaustion continued to be applied. Nowadays in the UK, which left the EU membership with the Brexit Agreement, a system that can be called asymmetric exhaustion is implemented. The system in question is a unilateral regional exhaustion system implemented by the UK. The aim of our study is to examine the current exhaustion system being implemented in the UK. According to asymmetric exhaustion, trademark right on the products that put on the market for the first time in European Economic Area (EEA) is considered as exhausted within borders of the UK. Parallel imports from the EEA to the UK cannot be prevented by the trademark owner. EEA member states can block parallel imports from the UK.
