The main purpose in writing this work was therefore to analyze whether the trade secret belongs to assignable and transferable type of intangible asset law and whether it could be effectively protected. The author of this work has been himself asking questions: first of all what actually is trade secret? And is it possible transfer or cede it? And if it is possible is also possible to protect this intangible asset sufficiently in course of this transaction? The author came to conclusion that trade secret falls within the scope of intellectual property, same as patent, trademark, copyright, though trade secrets are more difficult to transfer and protect then other kinds of intellectual property while they are neither formalized nor well documented. And most of all they supposed to stay hidden forever. The property right in a trade secret is determined by the fact the owner protects its trade secret from disclosure to third parties. On the other hand in order for a valid transaction to take place trade secret must be first of all adequately identified. Above mentioned shall be taken into account while writing various types of contract that could be used for transferring of ceding of trade secrets i.e. license agreement, the contract on transfer of business share, contract for work, contract on lease...

Thesis (MAcc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.

In changing world of e-commerce and internet based communication, business transactions and data flows play a key role in successful business management. It is vital for companies’ information systems to implement business transactions. The purpose of this work is to propose a model for outside business process’ implementation. Basic models’ steps are: business transaction specification, data structure and architectural solution selection. Communicative action loop is proposed for modeling business processes and XML is suggested as the best method for data exchange in an internet based environment. Deploying three-tier architecture completes the models’ steps for successful business information system implementation. In this work we propose a multipurpose tool – DAO (Data Abstraction Object), based on PHP to control, manage and save XML document data. A PHP alternative way – Java Servlet technology is also discussed for using Java tools for XML processing and database connection. At the end of the work an example information system is implemented following the steps described above.

1 Abstract Commercial Terms and Clauses in Business Transactions This diploma thesis is focused on the topic of commercial terms and clauses in business transactions. Legislation of commercial terms remains concise, but it contains some news in comparation with the previous legislation valid until January 1st 2014. A major novelty is the issue of conflicts of commercial terms (the battle of forms), the rules for unilateral change and also newly grounded content corrections in the form of surprising arrangements. This fact provides a space for professional literature to create a variety of views and answers to the questions that legal practice provides. Today, commercial terms are a common part of contracts. Using the terms greatly accelerates the contracting process and reduces the costs. Commercial clauses contained in some interpretative rules are also frequently used, mainly in the international business. The aim of this thesis is to analyse how business law experts respond the questions regarding to commercial terms and clauses. As a part of my work, I have also looked at the legislative solutions in the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods CIGS, the Principles of international trade agreements UNIDROIT and the Principles of European contract law PECL. In the first chapter I defined the...

Commercial terms and clauses in business transactions Abstract The master thesis is focused on the topic of commercial (standard) terms and clauses in business transactions. With respect to increased demands on the entrepreneur, the relevant provisions will be interpreted differently in the business relationship than in the case of a consumer relationship. Standard terms standardize the contracting process and reduce costs. Legislation of commercial terms remains concise but it contains some news. Significant change is the express regulation of the knock-out rule, which is used to determine the final content of a contract in the case of conflict between standard terms. Section 1752 newly contains express regulation for unilateral change of standard terms. A major novelty is specific content/formal control of standard terms which is regulated section 1753. Party is protected against the terms with which that party would scarcely have accepted had it been aware of them. Surprising terms are ineffective. The thesis is dedicated to problematic aspects, which arise in the case of contracting under standard terms. The thesis uses descriptive and comparative methods for accomplishment that goals. Firstly I will try to define the notion of commercial terms. In the second chapter are presented requirements for valid...

The topic of my diploma thesis is "The sales contract in international business transactions". The development of international trade is currently thriving, as evidenced by the fact that the significance of the international trade in the Czech Republic continues to grow. The reason I chose this topic is that the international sales contract is one of the most important contract in the field of international trade and I decided to expand my knowledge on that field. The diploma thesis analyzes the international sales contract in relation to the historical development of the term international sales contract, to its definition, legislation and unification efforts in the field of international sales contract legislation. The diploma thesis is structured into three chapters. The first chapter is devoted to the term sales contract in international business transactions.

- The Principle of Fair Business Transactions The submitted thesis called The Principle of Fair Business Transactions deals with assessment of impacts of private law's recodification on this principle and the issue of its application. The thesis consists of two main parts - theoretical and analytical. The theoretical part is divided into general and specific. The general theoretical part focuses on the specification of the business principle and its emplacement among other similar private law's principles such as principle of good faith and fair dealing and good manners. The aim of this part was to define divergences of each of the principles and the aftermaths of breaking these principles. It is impossible to go through the topic of the principle of fair business transactions globally, especially due to the extensiveness and variety of usage of the principle in business law relationships. Therefore, special attention has been paid to the principle of fair business transactions in the field of contractual penalty in the next theoretical part. In the analytical part, I endeavour to deal with the issue of the exercising of the right of a contractual penalty. In the first part, there is a short discourse on the contractual penalty itself, definition of an inadequate amount of the contractual penalty...

This Master's Thesis deals with the application of the concept of lex mercatoria in process of contracting process and in the dispute resolution, particularly in international commercial arbitration. The first chapter briefly describes the historical development of lex mercatoria and examines in detail the circumstances of the establishment of modern lex mercatoria . Further, the Thesis describes the general methods of regulation of the private relations with an international element. In connection with the use of lex mercatoria in the process of contracting the specific attention is given to the choice of applicable law by reference to certain rules of lex mercatoria. The criticism of such choice-of-law method is analysed, as well as its justification and also the requirements for the validity of such choice-of-law method. The second half of the Thesis is dedicated to a particular formalized rules of lex mercatoria, as well as to their legal grounds in Czech law, and also to some legislative changes in the Czech Republic after January 1, 2014, relevant to the lex mercatoria.
