Kozlovská, Eva ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
This work aims to describe the basic principles and characteristics of economic rights in copyright with regard to historical development, international and European legal framework. Economic rights in copyright are divided into two groups, namely the right to use the work and other economic rights. The work is dedicated to both groups with an emphasis on the use of work by public, taking into account the current SDEU case law and the effects of international and European law. Attention is also paid to the wider concept of the thing in the legal sense, as the Civil Code adopted in 2012 introduced again explicitly the concept of intangible things. As a result, this work deals also with the issue of their transferability. The theoretical method of research is used in the thesis. Work is based mainly on the commentary literature to the copyright act and the rules governing copyright at national, international and European level. In regard to the fact that copyright law is constantly evolving and new forms of use are emerging the legislation cannot flexibly react to these changes and therefore also the relevant decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Czech courts are used. The work is systematically divided into three main chapters: (i) general characteristics of copyright, (ii)...

- Economic rights in copyright The theme of this thesis are economic rights in copyright. They are one of two categories which compose the content of copyright. The second category is called copyrights related to personality.

Property rights of copyright (economic copyright) Abstract Intellectual Property Law as a branch of Private Law comprises two categories of rights - industrial property and copyright in a broader sense. In my thesis I focus on that part of Copyright Law which deals with rights to the author's work (i. e. copyright in the strict sense), specifically property rights of copyright (economic copyright). This thesis therefore provides a comprehensive explanation of property rights, which would not be possible without a brief explanation of the subject, development, concept and content of copyright. I also pay attention to legal regulation of the license agreement, which is a separate type of contract under the Copyright Act. Finally there is the collective management of copyright explained in my thesis. With respect to the importance of copyright which increases over time in response to the rapid development of information technologies, there is a need of its consistent protection and acceptance of more detailed and rigorous legislation. A numerous instruments of International Law and EU Law (whose main purpose is to harmonize national provisions of the Member States; the Czech Republic is a member of the European Union since 2004) therefore plays an important role in the harmonization of the national provisions...
