European legal regulation of patents in the area of science and research
Hrdličková, Klára ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Svobodová, Magdaléna (referee)
European legal regulation of patents in the area of science and research Bioethics is an important part of law regulation in the medical field. According to the current state, bioethics is able to highlighted main issues, which are connected with medical research and suggest possible solution.This paper combines two controversial topics. First one is human embryonic stem cell research and second one is research on nanoparts and indicates Intelectual Property Law possibilities in this field. Paper is divided into two parts. First one deals with the legal regulation on research on embryo in the Czech Republic and in other states of The Western Europe. Main focus is based on patentability of research concerned with the human embryonic stem cells, which might have a great therapeutic potential but their preparation necessarily leads to the destruction of "human embryos". (HESC) Main concern is connected with regard to the European law and the current ground- breaking judgement, Brüstle v. Greenpeace eV. In mentioned judgment European Court of Justice held that after interpretation of the Directive on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions , it will not be able to grant a patent on research which led in the destruction of a human embryo. Paper also includes assessment of the attitude of the...

Last plague epidemic in the Czech lands, especially in Prague (1713-1714)
Koubová, Markéta ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Charvátová, Kateřina (referee)
The main part of the thesis mentions last plague epidemic wave, that hit our country in the years 1713-1714, here I focus specifically on the city of Prague. The Czech lands, Moravia and Silesia are mentioned only briefly to show little differences between lands and their plague rules. I also describe medical facilities and hospitals, where were sick and dying people placed, and personnel which took care of these people. Divine services were important for people at that time, society was very religious and people thought that plague is a divine punishment. Even though society was very religiously based, cities and streets were filthy and full of mud.People in cities had very poor hygienic standards and habits, that helped to faster spreading of the disease. At last, places of final rest for terminally ill people, plague cemeteries are mentioned.

Specific of patent law in pharmaceutical industry
Volšanský, Petr ; Pítra, Vladimír (advisor) ; Růžička, Michal (referee)
1 ABSTRACT SPECIFIC OF PATENT LAW IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY This thesis scopes on particularities of patent law with regard to pharmaceuticals. It describes the basics of patent law while focusing mainly on international treaties, in particular on systems established by EPC and TRIPS. The patent system in USA and in the Czech Republic is also noted. This thesis is divided into seven chapters. In the first chapter named sources of law international institutions, treaties and situation in European union, USA and Czech Republic are described here. This chapter also deals with basic legal instruments such as patent, corporate invention or utility model. The next chapter is focused on individual conditions that need to be met in order to grant a certain patent - the most basic are novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. The following chapter deals with problems associated with costly development of new drugs and the need of companies to get the longest possible protection for their inventions. A special chapter addresses exceptions to the stiff patent regulation. Described in the next chapter is the compulsory license, a legal instrument not very particular in the Czech Republic but relevant in some developing countries used in order to secure better availability of drugs to society. Other...

The costs anf benefits of a patent regime
Třísková, Julie ; Potužák, Pavel (advisor) ; Hurník, Jaromír (referee)
This thesis deals with patents and their impact on innovative activity. Patents represent some kind of regulation of a free market which should improve market failures and create incentives for innovation activity. This stimulation should be then reflected in the growth of technologies. The relation between patenting and productivity which represents the growth of technologies is analyzed on panel data comprising of Finland, Denmark, Italy, Great Britain and the Netherlands. The analysis is undertaken on the industry level, namely on chemical industry, as firms in this industry consider patents as being an efficient form of invention protection. The outcomes of my analysis imply a difference between short term and long term relation between patents and productivity. Patents do not seem to influence productivity immediately, they seem to have a negative impact in the long run though.

Patent pools
Bourová, Kateřina ; Lipka, David (advisor) ; Ždímal, Martin (referee)
Patent pools are agreements between patent holders to license their rights to central entity and then to sale these licenses to third parties. In the Czech Republic there is no such cooperation between firms. In this thesis I would like to describe this phenomenon to Czech public and firms. The othel goal is to find out if this cooperation is efficient.

The roles of the state and its support of research and development in the private sector
Pivoňková, Jana ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Zabranská, Monika (referee)
This project is aimed at the roles of the state and its support of research and development in the private sector. The core part of this project is focused on view and judgment of the roles of the state institutions in the research and development process. Is should be also mentioned that substantial part is focused on the following four dominant institutions: Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports; Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; Ministry of Industry and Trade and Grant Agency of the Czech Republic. My primal interest is aimed at comparison of public and private expenses relating to the research and development and evaluation of all effects connected with these expenses. The key aspects of this project are supported by economic theories such as The Theory of Bureaucracy, Public Interests, Government and Market Failure or The State Regulation Theory. The whole point of this project is to find out reasons for state intervention in the research and development areas. Particular attention is paid to the current empirical studies and results related to these studies.

Income and option approach to patents valuations
Svačina, Pavel ; Mařík, Miloš (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee) ; Jakl, Ladislav (referee)
Disertační práce se soustřeďuje na analýzu a zhodnocení výnosových a opčních metod oceňování patentovaných vynálezů. Analýza a zhodnocení jsou provedeny pod zorným úhlem značně specifických rysů vynálezů, jakými jsou: jedinečnost, úzká obchodovatelnost, symbióza s jinými aktivy, nerivalitní užívání a významná specifická rizika. Úvodní část práce pojednává o základních právních otázkách ochrany vynálezu, základních faktorech majících vliv na hodnotu vynálezu a specifických rysech vynálezu, vytyčuje cíle, stav literatury, metodologii a přínosy práce. Druhá a třetí část je věnována teoretické analýze a zhodnocení výnosového a opčního přístupu k oceňování vynálezů, ve čtvrté části jsou aplikovány teoretické závěry v rozsáhlé případové studii ocenění biotechnologického vynálezu, pátá část podává souhrnné závěry práce.
