Klímová, Eva ; Šmejkal, Václav (advisor) ; Navrátil, Petr (referee)
Non - compete clauses in the competition law of the European union and selected member states This diploma thesis is focused on the use and regulation of non-compete clauses in the competition law of the European Union, the Czech Republic and Great Britain. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the applicable regulation and decision-making practice of the relevant authorities concerning the non-compete clauses in the selected jurisdictions, draw a comparison between them and, at the end of each chapter, make an evaluation to what extent does the relevant practice differ on the level of European law, the law of the Czech Republic or Great Britain. The thesis is mainly dedicated to the use of non-compete clauses in lease and acquisition agreements. The first chapter is focused on the theoretical introduction to the matter, containing a short summary of the fundamental regulation and soft law of the competition authorities. The second chapter is centred around the analysis of decisions concerning the non-compete clauses in lease agreements. The individual decisions are examined and compared at the end of the second chapter. The comparison is made by using the division of the anti-competitive agreements to the categories of "object-type agreements" and "effect-type agreements". The third chapter is concentrates...

Concentration of Undertakings within Protection of Czech Competition
Radvanovská, Alice ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Černá, Stanislava (referee)
Concentration of Undertakings within Protection of Czech Competition The subject of this diploma thesis is to define the subject of concentration of undertakings, which is one of the parts of competition protection, and to define the way of control of such concentration in the Czech legal order. Without the functioning of competition, the functioning of trade cannot be imagined, and since self-regulation of trade has proved to be inadequate over time, there was nothing else to do than to introduce a regulation regulating the behavior of market players. These standards gave rise to a new branch of law, i.e. competition law. The thesis is divided into nine chapters, the first four being rather interpretative, because they explain the basic concepts and terms used by the Act on the Protection of Competition and the European Commission. The fundamental issue of this work is to explain the definition of the concentration as such, in which, without knowing the various forms of concentration, it would not be possible to correctly identify the operation and properly notify the competition authority. Next, I deal with the procedure of the competitors and subsequently of the Office for the Protection of Competition (hereinafter referred to as "the Office") in the proceedings. I consider significant the adaptation of...

Legal aspects of dominant position
Topinková, Kateřina ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Rozehnal, Aleš (referee)
Smyslem práce bylo popsat a kriticky zhodnotit právní úpravu dominantního postavení a s ním úzce spojené vymezení relevantního trhu v prostředí České republiky, Evropské unie a kolébky moderního antitrustového zákonodárství Spojených států amerických. Důraz byl kladen na komparativní analýzu systémů, zejména co se týče vymezení klíčových pojmů a celkového přístupu. Nastíněn byl historický vývoj soutěžního práva se zaměřením na dominantní postavení, jehož určení může mít pro soutěžitele nepříjemné následky a nutnost větší opatrnosti. Následně byly podrobněji představeny úpravy ve vymezených systémech s ohledem na zásadní otázky stanovení dominantního postavení na trhu současně s podrobným představením vymezování relevantního trhu, kde se následně dominance určuje, přes průběžné objasňování a diskutování dalších pojmů v právních předpisech využívaných. Značný prostor byl věnován problematice substituovatelnosti výrobků a služeb, který představoval základní úskalí při vymezování relevantního trhu. Při výkladu bylo pracováno zejména s právními předpisy, klíčovými rozhodnutími soudních orgánů, doplňkovými výkladovými materiály a odbornou literaturou. Práce také částečně hodnotí účelnost a funkčnost úpravy. V praktické části práce byly rozebrány dva vzorové případy Úřadu pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže,...

Protection of competition - block exemptions
Marešová, Denisa ; Horáček, Vít (advisor) ; Eichlerová, Kateřina (referee)
Block Exemptions represent means of exemption from the prohibition of restrictive agreements set by the Article 101 (1) TFEU. The main aim of my thesis is to analyze and describe the development of an approach to block exemptions and to present how the block exemptions work in practice. Generally, block exemptions are issued in the form of Block Exemption Regulations according to Article 101 (3) TFEU. The wording of this provision specifies the conditions under which certain types of agreements may be exempted from the prohibition set by Article 101 (1) TFEU. Regulations are issued by the Council or by the Commission, which is more often. If an agreement accomplishes the criteria laid down in a block exemption regulation, there is no need to notify that agreement individually because the agreement is automatically valid and effective. The thesis is composed of six chapters. The first two chapters are introductory. Chapter One refers to the protection of competition in general. Subsequently, Chapter Two deals with main exemptions from the prohibition of restrictive agreements, such as agreements exempted from the prohibition under Article 101 (3) TFEU or the de minimis rule of exemption from the prohibition. Chapter Three, which is subdivided into three parts, explains the development of the...
