What is the difference between the “Methodology of forensic examination of designations registered as means of individualization, declared for registration, as well as used without registration, in order to establish the presence (absence) of their identity and / or similarity to the point of confusion” of 01/29/2024 and those that existed previously?
2. Current practice in cases related to the forensic examination of means of individualization in court proceedings.
3. Approaches to certification of forensic experts in specialty 31.1. “Forensic examination of designations of means of individualization”.
4. Implementation (realization) of the new Methodology “forensic examination of designations registered as means of individualization, applied for registration, as well as used without registration, in order to establish the presence (absence) of their identity and/or similarity to the point of confusion”.
