Abstract
A parody of a trademark has been studied from the standpoint of active public relations in advertising, sale and purchase and other actions in relation to a trademark. Although the parody of a trademark is not regulated by either national legislation or the legislation of foreign countries, as a rule, the principle of good faith applies in this area of legal relations. Of course, in some cases, the parody of a trademark is carried out in the form of unfair competition, in which case the rules of the law on competition and trademarks apply. Thus, when legally assessing the legality or illegality of a paurodia for a trademark, attention should be paid to the status of the trademark owner.
