Popis: The aim of the present study is to provide a detailed list of factors influencing the probability of confus-ing similarity of trademarks. The identification of a set of such factors is a practically significant task of applied sociology of management, as it allows to make a comprehensive assessment of the views of the parties in disputes about the similarity of means of individualization based on the data of sociologi-cal expertise. Apart from that, the development of understanding of the phenomenon of confusing similarity is a topical theoretical problem in consum-er behavior research. The author supports the fac-tors analysis with a hypothetical description of the mechanism by means of which each factor contrib-utes to the resulting probability of confusing simi-larity of trademarks in consumer’s mind. The system of factors proposed by the author is a useful tool for selecting a coordinate system where a sociologist can model consumer behavior.
