Title: Patentability of biotechnological inventions under European Patent Convention The topic of thesis is the patentability of biotechnological inventions under the European Patent Convention (Munich, 1973) (hereinafter the "EPC") with special emphasis on decision making practices of the European Patent Office. At the beginning, the author deals with general patent law, in particular with fundamental substantive conditions of patentability of inventions, both positive and negative. A brief explanation is then devoted to the definition of biotechnological science and biotechnological invention. In the subsequent part of the thesis, the author discusses the sources of patent law in general and in relation to biotechnological inventions. The chapter is divided into three parts - international, European and national sources. Discussion regarding European sources is split into two subsections dealing with EPC and EU law. The author examines in particular the complicated legislative procedure for the adoption of the Directive 98/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council dated 6th July 1998 on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions and its impact on European patent law. National sources address primarily imperfect transposition of Directive 98/44/EC into the Czech law. The next chapter is...

Cafourková, Tereza ; Růžička, Michal (advisor) ; Pítra, Vladimír (referee)
Resumé Le but de ce mémoire était en particulier de dépeindre la coéxistence de la marque nationale - tchèque et de la marque communautaire et de comparer la reglémentation pertinente. Il sagit de sujet actuel car la quantité de marques déposées enregistrées au niveau européen aussi bien que dans la République tchèque augmente grandement en même façon que de litiges connexes. Avec la coéxistence de ces deux types de marques sur le territoire de la République tchèque il apparaît quelques problémes particuliérs. Le mémoire essaie d'identifier ces problémes et différences de vue de la législation, mais aussi de vue de l'approche pratique. Le mémoire a été divisé en sept chapitres. L'introduction est suivi par les deux chapitres qui parlent des questions générales des marques nationales et aprés des marques communautaires - de la réglementation, l'histoire et l'enregistrement de ces marques. Le troisième chapitre est consacré aux marques en général et les autres signes distinctifs. Le cœur de ce memoire se trouve dans les chapitres quatre et cinq.

Ambrož, Vladimír ; Růžička, Michal (advisor) ; Pítra, Vladimír (referee)
Protection of the appellation of origin under Czech law and international treaties This thesis deals with the topic of appellation of origin. Appellation of origin is governed by Czech law, European Union law and by international multilateral and bilateral treaties. Appellation of origin is an exceptional measure because it provides an indefinite number of users meeting prescribed conditions with protection. The paper is divided into four chapters. The first chapter deals with history and with theoretical introduction into the topic of appellations of origin. Following three chapters describe the protection in the Czech Republic, European Union and on the international level. There are examples of concrete appellations of origin at the end of each of these three chapters. The examples are used in order to better demonstrate different ways of possible use of the appellations of origin. The work uses legal enactments as well as administrative and court decisions.

Karlec, Jan ; Růžička, Michal (advisor) ; Pítra, Vladimír (referee)
Legal protection of domains in relation to the right of indication The subject of this thesis is a legal protection of domain names. Domain names are used as humanly memorable names for Internet and serve as simple address to access websites. Each domain name has to be unique, it is not possible to register two or more identical names. This makes them very valuable and worth of protecting. The registration process of domain names is very simple and cheap, mostly based on the principle "first come, first served". No one has an automatic right to a particular name. This cause many conflicts, because the principles of registration are often abused by domain speculators. However, the domain names are not subject of special legal regulation in the most countries (Czech republic included). The thesis is composed of two parts. The first part is divided in five chapters. Initiative chapters are focused on defining the concept of domain names, their technical aspects, hierarchical structure and types. In this part is also mentioned Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and its Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP). Further, this part contains a description of the registration process of domain names under the country-code top level domain ".cz" (ccTLD.cz) and the legal aspects of domain...

Burdová, Jana ; Růžička, Michal (advisor) ; Pítra, Vladimír (referee)
Protection of the appellation of origin under Czech Law and international treaties The purpose of this thesis is to present the concept of the appellation of origin under Czech Law, international treaties and also under Community Law. The appellation of origin represents very specific part of the industrial property rights. Contrary to other subjects of industrial property, the appellation of origin has more public aspects. This fact is very important for legal construction of this institute and for its protection. Speciality of the legal regulation of the appellation of origin was one of the reasons, which motivated me to deal with the problems more deeply. The thesis consists of introduction, which is followed by four chapters and the brief conclusion, which closes the whole study. The first chapter focuses on general aspects of the concept of the appellation of origin. Firstly the term "appellation of origin" is defined, analysed and compared with the term "geographical indication" (as the superior term in relation to the term "appellation of origin"). The second part of the first chapter points out the importance of protection of the appellation of origin for producers of relevant products and also for consumers. The third part describes historical development of the appellation of origin,...
