Supervisor: Senior lecturer, PhD of economic, Ludmila V. Fayvishenko

I was born on 28, May, year 1981 in Donetsk, Ukraine in the family of teachers. Owing to my parents I had learned to count and to read very quickly before going to school. When I was five I have entered the music-school N 3 (piano classes).

In 1987 I have entered the school N 115 (Donetsk), specializing in foreign languages. I’m grateful to all my school teachers, especially to Gudova S.S., Bogatcheva V.K., Karavaeva I.V., for the knowledge they had given to me. I wish, that this school would keep up a high professional level of the teachers in the years to come as well.

As I was making good progress in French, in April, 1993, I was given an opportunity to pass a language training in Belgium. That time, I was very impressed visiting the very heart of Europe - Bruxelles, Charleroy, Brugge, and also Amsterdam (Netherlands).

The autumn 1994 I studied in the Institut St-Joseph (Charleroy, Belgium), and only for one month I had reached 80 points from 100. Taking into account that it was necessary to gain 100 points for a year of study, my teachers had been very impressed by the received results.

In 1996 I was awarded with the diploma for the gained second place on regional Olympiad on French among the pupils of 9th former, and in 1997 - for the first place in the Kirov district on Olympiad on Russian among the pupil of 10th former.

In October, 1996 during my language training in France (Metz), I had an opportunity to take part in a Europe Council conference (Strasbourg), to visit Paris, and even, to be an interpreter for the director of our school.

In 1998, after graduating from the school with excellent marks, I had a greate wish to continue my study of foreign languages. Therefore, I entered to the Donetsk State Technical University on the Faculty of Economy and Management, speciality "International Economy".

In 1999 I completed a driving school courses and received a driving licence (category "В").

In 2001-2002 I received the certificates, having participated and successfully completed the Workshops held by foreign professors on the subjects covered:

-"Project Management in International Projects ((in Enlish) held by Lothar Griesser, Dipl.Ing.Swiss Federal Technical University);

-"Investment Decisions Choice" ((in French), held by professor Alban Richard, University Pierre Mendes, Grenoble, France).

In 2002 I was awarded with the diploma for participation in the High School Competition of student's scientific works on a subject "Professional recruitment and staff arrangement", and also with a diploma for the gained first place in a DonNTU aerobic team championship.

Having graduated with the first-class honours bachelor degree on "Economy and Business", I decided to raise my education level, and now I am a student of DonNTU Magistrary on a speciality "International Economy".

In summer 2002, doing practical work in Industrial Investment Corporation "Ukrpodshipnik", I was advised to pay an attention to existing problems in the sphere of investments in intangible assets, namely, in the Trade Marks. Having engaged into this problem, I've come to the conclusion, that there is not only one or two, but the whole set of problems. Under the conditions of growing globalization and expansion of international economic relations such problems demand the prompt solution on the both: enterprise-level and country-level. Therefore, choosing the topic of Master's final research paper, I've decided to study the abovementioned problem. I hope, that the received knowledge will help me very much in it.
