Patent licensing and transfer of technologies from the perspective of competition law
Nemčeková, Ivana ; Horáček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Horáček, Vít (referee)
The thesis deals with the relationship between legal protection of competition on the market and legal protection of inventions, illustrated by the relations emerging in connection with licensing of patents. Text of the thesis is divided into four chapters, first two of which constitute a basis for the analysis of chosen subject-matter covered in two subsequent chapters. The topic of the thesis is explored from the viewpoint of competition law; therefore the first chapter introduces competition law foundations and legislation in the EU and the Czech Republic. Besides basic legal institutes the thesis pays attention to legislation and judicial decisions related to technological markets on which patents and their licensing constitute a common part of business strategies. Second chapter covers industrial property protection of inventions in Czech legislation, its foundations and its interconnection with such protection on the international level. The third chapter discusses technology transfer, i.e. transmission of technology information between undertakings on the market. Such information is protected mostly by patents hence it constitutes the issue of both competition law and patent law.

Limitations of patent protection in pharmaceutical industry with regards to the access to medicine problem
Vargová, Zuzana ; Dobřichovský, Tomáš (advisor) ; Wünschová Pujmanová, Alexandra (referee)
Limitations of patent protection in pharmaceutical industry with regards to the access to medicine problem The goal of this master thesis is for the reader to gain a general overview about the legislation in the area of European pharmaceutical patent law and also about medicines accessibility problems that come with the patent protection in this area. In the beginning we present relevant legal regulation with the focus on the TRIPS, as this international treaty is the source of patent protection exemption that is focal to this thesis. Later the paper addresses patentability requirements while the most of attention is given to specifics that are typical for pharmaceutical industry. This thesis further analyses two important concerns standing against each other. These being the protection of intellectual property rights where it identifies its origins and practical importance; and concern over right to health, which constitutes a legal reasoning for better accessibility efforts. In this thesis we identify lack of accessibility in various forms, which can present either as inaccessibility due to high prices or not even existent treatment, while both this problems might have more causes. These causes may and may not stem from the current patent system. That is why we further analyse current measures...

The Enlightenment and its Impact on the National and Spiritual Formation of People in the Czech Lands during 18th and 19th Century
Karasová, Ivana ; Veverková, Kamila (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
This master thesis deals with the spiritual progress pointing to a national self-awareness in the Enlightenment era from the beginning until 1848. The Enlightenment is an European phenomenon, which is characterized by a change of thinking, and self-awareness. This idea of tolerance and human emancipation contributed to the reforms of fundamental social, political and ecclesiastical changes. These changes result not only from a philosophical influences, but also from royal reforms during the reign of Maria Theresa and Joseph II in particular. The Teresian enlightened Catholicism and Josephinian reformism fully started the journey from the Enlightenment to liberalism. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Černý, Richard ; Soukup, Ladislav (advisor) ; Adamová, Karolina (referee)
I limited the content of the work to arms production. Overview of patent law development in Bohemia in 19th and a part of 20th century is not narrowed. Protection of patents - inventors protection law was first adapted by law in 1832, second more sophisticated "new prerogative law" in 1852. Invention protection law from 1897 solves the same issues like prerogative law from 1852. Patent protection was valid for 15 years. There was only one central "patent office" for patent protection of all inventions based in Vienna . "Register of patents" made an entry of granting a patent. Patent court was appropriate for reviewing of the decision of the Office. National Assembly adopted patent law from 1897 and in 1919 extended its validity to "the whole area of Czechoslovakia". The law from 1922 added a lot of partial changes and also listing of fees. In 1923 a new regulation was issued which changed the inner organization of the Patent Office and its personnel. In 1924 Patent Office rules of procedure were modernized. Administration of patents in join-stock company, former Škoda Works, foundation and development of the company.

Private Enforcement of EU Competition Law
Šimeková, Zuzana ; Král, Richard (advisor) ; Šmejkal, Václav (referee) ; Svobodová, Magdaléna (referee)
1 Thesis Summary Private Enforcement of EU Competition Law Zuzana Šimeková 1. Starting points and goals of the thesis The main goal of my thesis is the application of the ever-evolving contemporary issues of private enforcement of the EU competition law, its developments in the legislative area and the decision- making practice of the European Commission and the Court of Justice of the European Union (the ECJ) to the pharmaceutical sector area. As regards the functioning of competition rules, the pharmaceutical sector found itself in the cross-hairs of the European Commission fairly recently. Its efforts resulted in the Pharmaceutical Sector Inquiry Final Report of 8 July 2009 (the Final Report). The primary subject-matter of my thesis is the assessment of the competition relationship dynamic between the originator and generic pharmaceutical companies, especially the degree by which the conduct by the originator pharmaceutical companies can delay market entry by the generic pharmaceutical companies and thereby negatively affect the consumers by (among other things) limiting availability of cheaper drugs. Despite the expectations of legal practitioners and academia, the European Commission did not rule in the Final Report whether the discovered conducts constitute violations of the EU competition law. The...

Ventilation device
Kubovčík, Peter ; Pokorný, Přemysl (referee) ; Malášek, Jiří (advisor)
Bachelor thesis deals with constructional development of the turbine ventilator 3D models, including the regulation development. Three options of the ventilation devices were described, designed and modelled using a Solidworks in order to increase amount of exhaust air, while maintaining zero consumption of the electricity. According to a Supervisor´s documents were calculated, drawn and modelled two devices, used for regulation of exhaust air by half-valve damper and quarter-valve damper.
