Protection of intellectual property rights in the fashion industry
Duong, Erik ; Holcová, Irena (advisor) ; Žikovská, Petra (referee)
This thesis focuses on the area of intellectual property law in the fashion industry. The main objective of this thesis is to highlight the pressing issues in the fashion industry, to examine the various forms of intellectual property protection applicable in the fashion industry. Following the analysis, an assessment of the impact of fast fashion on the fashion industry is made. The thesis addresses the complex environment of the fashion industry, which is characterised by fast global supply chains and rapid production cycles. However, these dynamics raise significant challenges and unfavourable practices that lack robust legal safeguards. The main problem is the proliferation of low-cost production driven by fast-fashion brands, leading to overconsumption, environmental degradation and labour exploitation. This lack of effective legal measures increases the burden faced by affected communities and contributes to the growing problem of textile waste. In addition, the practices of fast fashion brands, which often copy the designs of both renowned and lesser-known designers, undermine the competitiveness of indigenous creators in the sector. This interaction fosters an environment that favours fast fashion at the expense of sustainable and ethical fashion. The thesis is divided into eight chapters....

Vaverka, Tomáš ; Montag, Josef (advisor) ; Šoltés, Michal (referee)
Intellectual Property Protection for Startups: A Law and Economics Perspective Abstract This thesis examines the appropriability methods used by startups to appropriate returns from their innovation. The theoretical part of this work delves into the classical law and economics theory of intellectual property, scrutinizing the intricate balance between incentivizing innovation and enabling broader access to knowledge. It also examines critiques of the intellectual property system and explores alternative incentive mechanisms. Additionally, an analysis of the fundamental attributes of selected intellectual property rights is provided. This evaluation considers the legal frameworks of both the United States and the European Union, along with the corresponding theories in the field of law and economics. The subsequent literature review presents a comprehensive analysis of the existing body of knowledge based on empirical studies of appropriability methods used by startups. In the empirical part of this thesis, the results obtained from research conducted on the importance of appropriability strategies utilized by seventeen Czech software startups are presented.

Comparison of patents and trade secrets as possible ways of protecting intellectual property rights
Roučková, Kateřina ; Petrlík, David (advisor) ; Dobřichovský, Tomáš (referee)
Comparison of patents and trade secrets as possible ways of protecting intellectual property rights Abstract The thesis Comparison of patents and trade secrets as possible ways of protecting intellectual property rights compares the institutes of patents and trade secrets and highlights their individual positives and negatives. It first addresses the question of whether both protection through patents and trade secrets can be alternatively applied to the same subject matter. Subsequently, since in the case of patents, the law specifies the subject matter which cannot benefit from such protection, it discusses whether or not it would be appropriate and possible to protect those particular subject matters through trade secrets. The thesis also compares the various defining features of the two institutes. The second part discusses the differences in the acquisition and disposition of patents and trade secrets, focusing on the process of obtaining patents, the scope of protection afforded by a given intellectual property right, and the ways in which these forms of protection are extinguished and revoked. This highlights the administrative and financial complexity that accompanies protection through patents as opposed to the informalized protection of trade secrets. In the last part of the thesis, the...
