Legal Protection of a Computer Program
Korčák, Václav ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
Computer programs make up a large part of assets of modern companies. Therefore, legal protection of computer programs is of great importance for supporting the creation and development of start-ups and technology companies in the Czech Republic. The legislator must take into account the special nature of computer programs and balance the interests of all actors. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the current state of legal regulations of computer programs in the Czech Republic, in particular copyright and patent protection. Furthermore, the thesis describes other valid methods of legal protection of computer programs (unfair competition, administrative law, criminal law) and influential alternative forms of protection that have emerged as a solution to the problem of the special nature of computer programs (WIPO sui generis protection, model software petite patent, Manifesto model, utility model). At the end of the analytical part, the thesis points out the types of computer programs that differ in some essential features (artificial intelligence, computer game, website). The synthetic part compares and comments on the various forms of legal protection of computer programs in force and alternative forms in terms of applicability under the Czech legal system, duration of protection, subject...

Legal aspets and the natureof the exercise of author's economic rights
Brolík, Vojtěch ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
Legal aspects and the nature of the exercise of author's economic rights Abstract The thesis concerns the right to exercise author's economic rights by a person other than the author in the legal system of the Czech Republic. It analyses the nature of this peculiar right regulated in § 58 of the Copyright Act in terms of its classification in the system of private law and the resulting key characteristics. The thesis examines the position of the executor of author's economic rights, as a person investing in the creation of works of autorship and integrating the process of creating complex works. This is gaining importance especially in connection with the development of investment-intensive IT systems protected by copyright. The thesis seeks to capture the complexity of copyright issues in the creation of large- scale works and maps out all relevant situations in which the right to exercise author's economic rights may be transferred to a person referred to as an employer under the Copyright Act. In particular, the research focuses on works created by multiple co-authors who make their contributions to work under different titles, which impose obligations on them in relation to the various employers involved in the process of creating the work. The analysis and evaluation of the current legal framework is...

The author and the performer of the musical work as parties to copyright relations in the process of creation and exploitation of the copyright work
Kletenský, Jan ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to present the legal framework of the copyright and rights related to copyright to authors and performers of musical work. As a relatively complex issue, in my opinion, it is important for authors and performers as artists to have at least a basic idea of what rights and obligations arise in the process of creation and exploitation of musical works and what legal framework of protection the law provides to them. Moreover, this topic is very close to me because I am myself author and performer of musical works. The first chapter deals with the musical work in terms of its individual components, both from legal and music theory point of view. Considering that the criterion of uniqueness of the copyright work does not exclude the use of parts of other works, I also examine the issue of legal uses of foreign works in the process of the creation of copyright works and the issue of plagiarism. At the end of the first chapter I mention the creation of a copyright work by collaboration of multiple authors (which is typical for musical works). In the second chapter, I introduce to the authors the catalogue of their moral and property rights, focusing on those areas that are relevant to musical works, including the duration of their rights and post-mortal protection. The third...
Copyright law of the Western civilization. History, international and European contexts, copyright law systems.
Slípková, Nina ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
Coypright Law in Western Civilization. History, International and European Context, Coypright Systems. What are the main aspects of copyright law in Western civilization? This is the main question the thesis is concerned with. The diversity of social reality makes it difficult to answer the problem with looking at it from only legal perspective. Therefore the answers are provided through following means. First, the problem of copyright is regarded from a historical perspective, showing the origins of copyright, its development through the system of privileges and the establishment of a statutory protection. The differences between the civil law and common law are pointed out by explaining the natural rights theory and the concept of moral rights leading further to monist and dualist theories that were very influential within the European copyright system. Second, the international protection, the European Union protection and the main problems and trends of the copyright problematics are targeted as means to demonstrate the different approaches evolving from different principles of the two legal traditions. The development from national to international protection structures is described and so are the main treaties, organizations and provisions, illustrating the differences, similarities and changes in the...
Impact of the European and Czech legislation on the usage of information technology in companies (IT-Compliance) with particular reference to data protection
Javorková, Kristina ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
The scope of this thesis is to explain the term "compliance" as a relatively new legal issue companies (and especially their legal departments) worldwide have to deal with. The focus lies on IT compliance and its potential for the protection of intellectual property rights, since these rights are an easy object of violation caused by the negligence of the company's employees. The the thesis discusses the origin and the definition of compliance and IT compliance and the most important legal documents and regulations related to compliance (Sarbanes Oxley Act, EuroSOX, Basel II and the relevant data protection acts). Finally, the relationship of compliance, IT compliance and intellectual property rights is demonstrated together with the idea of future need and possible obligation to protect data and intellectual property rights by means of mandatory configuration of available company's information technologies infrastructure. Eventually, to exemplify this functional interaction, an example of state's contribution to a lawfull implementation of IT is presented on an example of Germany's Federal Office for Informational Security and the federal data protection law in particular.

Bárta, Jan ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
The computer program has recently become a common part of everyday life of the modern society whereas the life and work are very hard to imagine without them. Computer program's right infringement, software piracy, is a very specific phenomenon, which, according to my opinion, deserves thorough processing. This thesis is trying to support specialized publications with facts especially from the area of functional aspects of warez scene and its connection with common users of pirate programs, emphasizing single pirate methods, the structure and legal analysis of important aspects of this phenomenon. This thesis consists of nine chapters, which are further divided with respect to the single topics. Chapter One is an introduction into the topic and adumbrates basic problems of software piracy. Chapter Two attends to the computer program and software. The first part distinguishes the terms software and computer program, the second part displays basic sources of computer programs legal regulation, part three characterizes the computer program as a special type of author's craft, the fourth part describes contractual and non-contractual usage of computer programs, the fifth part explains the topic of digital rights management and the last, the sixth part represents analysis of legal protection of computer...
A comparison of copyright protection of authors and performing artists
Kryl, Pavel ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
According to the setting of my diploma I tried to compare rights of performing artists with competent rights of authors. The most suitable way to achieve this goal seemed to be progressive movement heading from particular issues and problems related with individual subjects of law to the general differences. In the first instance I divided the object matter into four main parts (sources of the law, concepts of law, moral and and economic rights and legal licences along with free uses). It was much easier to operate inside of the "borders" of these particular parts afterwards. In the first part related to sources of positive law the main difference rests in historical development. Legal rights of authors had been legalized long before anybody even mentioned competent rights for performing artists who performed their crafts. However it is necessary to regard very reasonable argument justifying this fact. Creative asset of the author craft is bigger than its performance therefore the position of the author is stronger and it is also necessary to protect him more strongly by law. It is obvious that many issues are set up only for authors than and that the mass of rules which governs rights of authors is much bigger and detailed. Main object of the second part was to explain the nature of concepts and...
