Use of trade marks as internet search engine keywords Main purpose of my thesis is a comprehensive analysis of the issue of trade mark use as internet search engine keywords in relation to displaying advertisements on the internet search engine's websites, mostly from the point of view of the European Union law. However, I briefly address also legislation and jurisdiction in the USA. I chose the topic of my thesis mostly because it is one of the most discussed issues in the field of trade marks in the last few years, not only thanks to its significant economic importance, but also because of the challenge which this issue brought to the law practice.

The thesis is composed of eight chapters. The first chapter is an introduction. Chapter two provides basic insight into the issue of keywords. The system of internet search engine functioning and keyword advertising is introduced.
