Актуальность исследования обусловлена ростом числа нарушений исключительных прав в обеих юрисдикциях, а также процессом сближения региональных правопорядков в рамках ЕАЭС и гармонизацией с международными стандартами. Цель работы – выявить общие подходы и ключевые различия в правоприменительной практике, а также сформулировать рекомендации по совершенствованию казахстанского законодательства с учетом опыта ЕС. Методологическая основа включает сравнительно-правовой анализ, изучение судебной практики и статистических данных. В статье рассматриваются ключевые дела из практики Казахстана и прецеденты Суда Европейского союза. Система Казахстана эффективно противодействует контрафакции, тогда как практика ЕС в большей степени ориентирована на защиту репутации бренда и предотвращение действий, способных подорвать его престиж. В этой связи для имплементации европейского опыта в законодательство Казахстана предлагаются следующие меры: внести изменения в статью 43 Закона «О товарных знаках, знаках обслуживания, географических указаниях и наименованиях мест происхождения товаров», предусмотрев защиту репутации бренда; установить процедуру оперативного удаления незаконного цифрового контента; а также усилить досудебное урегулирование споров посредством развития механизмов медиации.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article is devoted to a comparative legal analysis of trademark protection mechanisms in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the European Union. The relevance of the study is обусловлена the increasing number of infringements of exclusive rights in both jurisdictions, as well as the ongoing convergence of regional legal systems within the framework of the EAEU and their harmonization with international standards. The purpose of the study is to identify common approaches and key differences in enforcement practice and to formulate recommendations for improving Kazakhstani legislation, taking into account the experience of the EU. The methodological framework comprises comparative legal analysis, examination of judicial practice, and statistics. The article reviews key cases from Kazakhstan and precedents of the Court of Justice of the EU. Kazakhstan’s system effectively combats counterfeiting, while EU practice is more focused on protecting brand reputation and preventing actions that may undermine brand prestige; therefore, to incorporate European experience into Kazakhstan’s legislation, following measures are proposed: amend Article 43 of the Law on Trademarks, Service Marks, Geographical Indications and Appellations of Origin to include brand reputation protection; establish a procedure for the prompt removal of unlawful digital content; and strengthen pre-trial dispute resolution by developing mediation mechanisms.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>товарные знаки</kwd><kwd>защита</kwd><kwd>правонарушение</kwd><kwd>исчерпания прав</kwd><kwd>параллельный импорт</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>trademarks</kwd><kwd>protection</kwd><kwd>infringement</kwd><kwd>exhaustion of rights</kwd><kwd>parallel import</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This article was prepared within the framework of the state-funded grant project for 2024–2026 (AP23489368) entitled: “Legal and Economic Problems of Competition Development in Cross-Border Markets (WTO Standards and EAEU Practice): Ensuring the National Interests of the Republic of Kazakhstan”.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Trademarks.
