Summary/Abstract: The norms governing the procedure for the issuance of individual administrative acts for patents for inventions, registration of trademarks and industrial designs are mainly contained in the Patents and Utility Models Registration Act (PUMRA), the Marks’ and Geographical Indications Act (MGIA) and the Industrial Design Act (IDA), as well as in the regulations issued on the basis thereof. On the one hand, these administrative procedural rules are special regulations compared to the general administrative procedural rules for the issuance of individual administrative acts laid down in the Code of Administrative Procedure (CAP). On the other hand, as special administrative legislation in the field of industrial property protection, these regimes can be compared and, on the basis of the comparative legal analysis carried out, some general administrative procedural provisions can be derived in order to improve the legal framework. I will focus on one part of this group of issues in this paper and will also provide for other lawyers to consider a proposal for a change in the MGIA, in the spirit of the motto of the conference "Law – the art of the good and the fair", to amend the substantive legal framework of trademark protection.
