Analysis of the EU regulations in the field of Information and Telecommunication technologies and their effect on the single market
Hart, Ludvík ; Procházka, Pavel (advisor) ; Strejček, Ivo (referee)
The bachelor thesis describes the EU regulations in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT), particularly the Digital agenda for Europe strategy. These regulations are then tested for their influence on the European single market. The major question answered here is whether the EU regulations in field of ICT have a positive impact on the EUs single market. Answer to this question helps us evaluate the ongoing Digital agenda strategy. The impact of the regulations is analysed by induction of the following indicators, international trade, ratio of population buying online, DESI index and NRI index. With this method it is possible to tackle the wide range of fields the Digital agenda covers. I conclude this work with the statement, that European ICT regulations do have a positive impact on the single market, although are problematic due to the slow legislative process and low efficiency in addressing the regulated issue.

Reversed discrimination in the Community contexts
Macháčková, Gabriela ; Zemánek, Jiří (advisor) ; Král, Richard (referee)
Reverse Discrimination in the Community Law Context Gabriela Machačkova The final thesis discusses the issue of reverse discrimination, which arises when nationals/products of a Member State are disadvantaged because they are subject to a national regulatory measure, while foreign (EU) nationals/products are protected from that national measure by virtue of European Community (EC) law. It examines the question of scope of EC Law, specifically focusing on the extent to which nationals of a Member State who have never exercised their Community rights can claim their rights by applying the Treaty establishing the European Community. It addresses the question of extension of the scope of EC law to cover purely internal situations in which no inter-State element is present, and to which the fundamental freedoms (free movement of goods, services, persons and capital) do not apply. First, it reviews the development of European Court of Justice case-law on reverse discrimination and situations which can be regarded as purely internal. The time frame discussed in the thesis ranges from the late 1970s until the present. Reverse discrimination and purely internal situations are analysed in terms of the examples of the Court's jurisprudence. Secondly, as Union Citizenship has been introduced by the Maastricht Treaty,...

Analysis of strengthening intellectual property rights on selected economic indicators in selected world countries in years 2013 to 2015
Tománek, Michael ; Zeman, Martin (advisor) ; Maule, Petr (referee)
This paper analyzes the relationship between the protection of intellectual property rights, and selected economic indicators between 2013 and 2015. The topic is the impact of intellectual property protection to economic growth and development. The theoretical part analyzes the different views on the issue of intellectual property, its forms of protection and analysis of international protection. It also defines GDP, GDP per capita, foreign direct investment and research and development expenditure. The practical part analyzes the correlation between these economic indicators and index of intellectual property rights, as an indicator of the strength of protection of intellectual property rights in selected countries. The work focuses on industrial property.

Model agreements on double taxation avoidance in the practice of the Czech Republic
Taschner, Lukáš ; Kotáb, Petr (advisor) ; Novotný, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with international taxation, which is becoming an increasingly important issue due to the globalization of world economy in recent decades. International taxation is a broad topic including a variety of problems concerning it. Among the most important recognized phenomena are International double taxation and tax evasion. The conclusion of bilateral tax treaties seems to be the most efficient instrument for their solutions so far. Model Tax Conventions have been prepared by international organizations for the purposes of coordination of structure, wording and interpretation of numerous bilateral agreements. The OECD Model Treaty and the UN Model Treaty are widespread worldwide, being legally non- binding models for negotiations of bilateral agreements. In addition to those, the proposal of a new multilateral European Union Treaty has appeared. It should be signed by all members of the European Union, and it would replace all bilateral agreements concluded between the EU member states. Within the global community of other states and nations, the Czech Republic has an open and liberal economy. Therefore, it is necessary for the Czech Republic to have all international tax issues ensured with each economic partner. Over the past twenty years, the Czech Republic has concluded 67 out...

Propagation of inclined cracks to the interface of ceramic laminates
Novotná, Lenka ; Trunec, Martin (referee) ; Chlup, Zdeněk (advisor)
Composite materials with laminated structure provide advantages which are utilised during component design. Low density, temperature and chemical stability are the profitable properties predetermining application of ceramic laminates. The main obstacle for wide spread of ceramic materials is their inherent brittleness. Therefore, in this thesis, the crack propagation in ceramics laminates has been extensively studied. Laminated structures with various volume fractions of components (alumina and zirconia) were prepared by electrophoretic deposition. Evaluation of crack propagation through the interface and determination of basic mechanical properties was conducted on the basis of extensive literature search. Crack deflection originated in both presence of internal stresses and differences in elastic modulus during the crack interface passing was monitored. A special type of specimen geometry was employed with the aim to set arbitrary angle between crack and interface. It was experimentally found that the degree of crack deflection is dependent on entering angle and volume fraction of components. Higher crack deflection was already found in the bulk of the test piece comparing to the test piece surface. The 3D fracture surface reconstruction generated using laser confocal microscopy was used in this detailed crack propagation study. Further basic elastic and strength characteristics of laminates were determined and compared to those obtained from monolithic materials. The validity of the mix rule for elastic characteristics was confirmed by comparing of elastics modulus. The most reliable method for elastic modulus determination was marked the dynamic resonance method due to low scatter and consistency in measurement. The flexural strength of all laminates tends to be close to the flexural strength of the weakest component. Therefore the mix rule is not applicable for flexural strength estimation on the contrary of elastic characteristics. The change of component volume fraction leads only to change of flexural strength scatter. Thanks to gained knowledge about crack propagation and basic characteristic determination will be possible to design ceramic laminates more efficiently for given needs of application.

Selection and breeding from the legal point of view
Sovová, Martina ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
108 11. SUMMARY This thesis deals with the topic - "Selection and Breeding from the legal point of view". The intention of this work is to provide the presentation as integrated as possible on the legal adjustments as far as the selection and breeding of animals in the Czech Republic are concerned. The introductory chapters deal with the development in the field of selection and breeding activities as a whole on the territory of the Czech Republic. In the special chapter the authoress focuses on international agreements applying to the field of selection and breeding of animals including the legal adjustments and policy in the European Union. The fundamental part of work pays particular attention to the legal proceedings covering the selection and breeding methods represented among others by the Breeding Act. In the framework of this, the corresponding concepts and basic institutes which are "the selection" and "the breeding; the legal subjects participating in the field of selection and breeding of animals; the identification of animals and registration of animals, their owners and the holdings including the activity of supervisory authorities performed in compliance with the mentioned Breeding Act, are explained. The work has optimized the data gathered from the specialized literature, technical journals...

Copyright protection of software
Vajbarová, Radka ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Křesťanová, Veronika (referee)
Copyright protection of computer's programs Summary The mainly points of my thesis are to show and provide with the basic information about the legal protection of computer's programs. This is in my opinion the mainly topic. In my diploma paper I've focused on valid computer's programs legal protection based on the Czech Author Act No. 121/2000 Sb., right of authorship, related rights of authorship and the variation others rights (the right of authorship) and also supportive by criminal rights. This valid legal protection corresponds to Europe's and international law systems. The computer's programs are protected by the rights of authorship like literary work (if they fulfill the conditions mentioned in § 2 art. 1 or § 2 art. 2 rights of authorship). With respect to computer's programs the rights of authorship contain this law special § 65 and § 66 which explain the limitation of the rights. The other points of the thesis are about licence's agreements and about how to get legal computer's program. I also mentioned author's pretension following from the rights of authorship. Regarding to the discussion about protection the programs I mentioned often arguments pro and con rights of patents. Recently European Parliament closed the discussion about draft of the patent's bylaw, but I would say that this case...

Innovation activities in Germany in the context of smart specialisation
Vlčková, Markéta ; Vlčková, Jana (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
Economic growth is slowing in many countries. It leads to a discussion on what sources of growth should countries focus. For this purpose, EU created the concept of smart specialization, which puts an emphasis on the most efficient use of public financial resources dedicated to research and development. The aim of this thesis is to find out on what industry Germany as a leader of EU innovation and its individual regions specializes and to identify potential areas for targeting resources to innovation, research and development. This will be determined by using the patent network. The secondary objective is to interconnect findings of patenting and analysis of innovation activities in various regions of Germany with international trade and to determine whether there is a correlation between innovation activity in a particular sector and export of the sector's products abroad.
