Abstract

This article examines the issue of distribution of liability for infringement of exclusive rights to trademarks in the sale of goods through marketplaces. Examined the legislation and case law of Russia and other countries on the liability for selling counterfeit goods on marketplaces. International and Russian legal practice in resolving disputes over infringement of exclusive rights to trademarks on e-commerce platforms was examined. Models of legal regulation of e-commerce in foreign countries were analysed. The conclusions have been formulated on the need for progressive development of legislation of the Russian Federation in the area under study, including regulation of e-commerce platforms, and measures to improve the liability of marketplaces and sellers for the sale of counterfeit products were developed.
