Abstract
More frequent infringements causing high damages to persons holding industrial property rights have influenced the intensified actions within the European Union in regard to the harmonisation of criminal legal protection in the field of industrial property rights. Subsequently, there has been an enactment of numerous legal acts and measures. The author in this article analyses current measures and acts and pays a special attention to the compatibility of Croatian legislation with recent tendencies implemented in the European Union. No matter the fact that Croatian legislation is highly harmonised in this field, the author emphasises the need “to implement small changes” which would completely harmonised the criminal legal protection of industrial property in the Republic of Croatia with the European Union Law.
