Fischerová, Alena ; Boháček, Martin (advisor) ; Čada, Karel (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with trademark protection in the system of Community and US law by using the scientific comparative method. The Community trademark is used as the comparatum and the federal trademark as the comparandum. The main goal of the thesis is the comparison of the EU and US perspective on the trademark as one of the subjects of industrial rights. To reach the set goal, the key aspects of the trademark protection are fully discussed in compared legal systems. The first part of the thesis represents the theoretical introduction into the field of trademarks. Here, the historical development is summarized, the evolvement of the single community protection together with principles of trademark protection in the USA are explained, completed by a summary of the sources of law in compared legal systems. In the main part of the thesis, the trademark in both legal systems is discussed, starting with the trademark definition according to both the Community and US law together with the key international treaties; followed by an explanation of different trademark types with an emphasis on non-traditional trademarks; right to trademark; Community and US trademark registration compared to the international registration; trademark use; and concluding with the rights the trademark holder possesses.
