Najman, Ondřej ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Pelikán, Robert (referee)
European Law Against Unfair Competition Abstract The scope of this thesis is intended to cover mainly two branches of the European law against unfair competition. Those two branches were recognized in (i) business-to- business relations governed mostly by the European Union Directive 2006/114/ES and in (ii) business-to-consumer relations governed by the European Union directive 2005/29/ES respectively.

The thesis is divided into ten chapters while five of them should be considered as the leading ones. First of them is the chapter number five dedicated to B2B relations. The author examines the respective directive 2006/114/ES also to the extent of its relevant jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice. The same approach was chosen to describe functioning of B2C relations under directive 2005/29/ES in chapter number seven. Chapter number six focuses on so called "Average Consumer" model that has been found as one of the most important elements of EU law against unfair competition.

Kotva, Martin ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Patěk, Daniel (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to analyzing the Czech legal regulation of competitive advertising since the year 1927, while the main focus point of the thesis lies within the analysis of European directives and Commercial code. The beginning of the thesis is dealing with the definition of several crucial terms needed for due orientation in the issue (particularly the terms "economic competition", "competitor", "general clause", "average consumer", "advertisement", "comparative advertising"). After that follows the analysis of the regulation of comparative advertising applicable in specific time periods. In the first analyzed period (1927-1950), comparative advertising was not explicitly regulated. Nonetheless it was being judged according to the general clause and special facts of the case included in the act. No 111/1927 Coll. of laws and decrees. The attitude of the legal practice towards comparative advertising was rather restrained at that time. During the next analyzed time period (1950-1991), economic competition and the regulation of unfair competition was substantially marginalized due to wide social changes. The time period 1992-2001 was, from the unfair competition regulation point of view, important, because it has seen an implementation of a relatively detailed legal regulation of the...

Prohibited comparative advertising The Diploma thesis, Prohibited comparative advertising, deals with prohibited comparative advertising according to Czech legislation and legislation of the European Union. The aim of the thesis is primarily to deal with what makes comparative advertising unlawful. The diploma thesis is divided into four chapters: terminology, development of the legislation in the Czech Republic, comparative advertising legislation in the Czech Republic and the EU legislation, and self regulation of advertising. The attitude of the society to advertising as such has been developing as well as the attitude of the society to the comparative advertising. The legal regulation of unfair competition in the Czech Republic has its origins in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After the First World War, the newly created state of the Czechoslovak Republic, became a member state of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property. Thus, it bound itself to ensure appropriate legal remedies for nationals of other countries in the Union to suppress unfair competition. Based on this commitment, the Act on Protection Against Unfair Competition, which is the inspiration for the currently valid legislation on unfair competition, was adopted.

Legal regulation of comparative advertising: Study 5.326
Babka, Tomáš
Práce přináší rozbor právní úpravy institutu srovnávací reklamy v České republice a na evropské úrovni. K přímému zakotvení institutu srovnávací reklamy, jakožto zvláštní skutkové podstaty nekalé soutěže, do českého práva došlo až v roce 2000, v důsledku toho bylo po celá devadesátá léta nakládáno se všemi případy srovnávací reklamy jako se zakázanými nekalosoutěžními praktikami. Téměř jakékoliv reklamní srovnání s konkurujícím subjektem, respektive s vlastnostmi jeho výrobku či služby, tak bylo před rokem 2000 soudy takřka automaticky shledáváno jako porušení dobrých mravů soutěže. Právě oblast klamavé a srovnávací reklamy je totiž předmětem regulace na úrovni Evropské unie a jednotlivá ustanovení tzv. harmonizačních směrnic EU se tak prostřednictvím transpozičních předpisů promítají do národního práva.
