A comparison of national trade mark with Community trade mark The purpose of this thesis is to provide fundamental information about trademarks and their legal regulation. In my thesis I focus on the decision making practice of the ÚVP, the European Union Intellectual Property Office and I attempt to compare their argumentation at decision making practice. In order to compare the decision making of the two offices I decided, because their legislations are very similar and their comparison would not be of great significance. Following the amendment by regulation no. 2424/2015 there have been some changes such as abolition of the necessity a graphical representation, the introduction of the so-called certification trade mark or the explicitly anchoring of the sound as a sign of a capable label. After the novella in the thesis I analyzed the decisions of the two authorities in the matters of assessing the registrability of the signs applied for. I have focused on the two absolute grounds for declaring incapability, namely the descriptiveness of the sign referred to in § 4 letter c) of the Act, respectively Article 7 subsection 1 letter (c) of the Regulation and the generality of the marking referred to in § 4 letter d) of the Act, respectively Article 7 subsection 1 letter d) of the Regulation.

Migration to the European Union has increased the last ten years with asylum immigrants being a large part. There is an ongoing debate about the cost of migration and whether or not immigrants tend to cluster in countries with high social benefits. Theoretical framework in the field of migration economics show a connection between level of immigration and the welfare system.This thesis will use macro-data on migration flows, social expenditure, wages, employment and immigrant population from OECD which will be combined with micro-data of individual views on politics and welfare. This will hopefully shed light on if the level of social expenditure and individual opinion with regards to willingness to help others may affect immigration.The question for this thesis is : Does a generous welfare system or high level of government social expenditure in a certain country within the European Union attract a high inflow of immigrants?Results show, as other research conducted in similar fashion, both a positive and negative impact by social expenditure depending on the type of regression made. A conlusion about whether the effect of social expenditure is positive or negative could not be done at this point in time for this research.

With a rapid centralisation of fiscal sovereignty now being aired as a possibility following on from the financial and economic crisis, this thesis considers how legitimising discourses are shaping the efforts to reform EU fiscal governance. Norman Fairclough’s ‘moderately constructivist’ three-dimensional framework for CDA is drawn upon. This approach is also combined with insights drawn from the new institutionalist literature base (particularly from its historical and discursive strands of thought), with an additional emphasis being placed on broader understandings of structural forms of power as developed through the writings of Susan Strange. It is found that the emerging debate over EU fiscal governance reform is dominated by a limiting neoliberal legitimising discourse. This research also makes a contribution to our understanding of the ideational and institutional roots of the current impasse in European Integration. Finally, it is concluded that the efforts to reform the EU’s fiscal governance arrangements are likely to bring about, at best, incremental change along a path-dependent line.

This dissertation explores the European Union’s (EU) European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) as a technology of insecurity governance in order to better understand insecurity management practices of the EU bureaucracies and policy elites. The central argument of the project is that security communities are insecurity communities. Rather than trying to maintain a state of non-war, insecurity communities establish and further develop a constant productive field of insecurity management that aims to identify and govern threats and unease. The projects core contributions rest with the security community theory and the literature on the EU’s external governance literatures. Empirically, the dissertation focuses on the human mobility and transportation insecurity management practices of the EU in relation to the uses of e-Passports and intermodal containers.

Gambling is very controversial theme. There are many reasons, why this business is so controversial,for example : huge amount of money, chance for money laundering, chance for winning money. Gambling is wagering money on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money. Purpose of my diploma work is a comparison situation of gamling industry in Czech republic and in the rest of the world. My diploma work has many parts.In the first one I describe the history of regulation in the United States and then I show economic dates from presents: casino locations by category, casinos per state, commercial casino tax revenue by state and national commercial casino revenue. Next I explain a special american category of casino and it is tribal casino and than I show tribal gaming revenues by region. In the next part I describe the history of gambling in the Czechoslovakia and contemporary situation in Czech republic, especially the situation in internet gambling. Internet gambling is the transformation of casino games of chance and skill to the internet. In the Czech republic is an unsatisfactory legal regualtions, because there is a obsolete rule. Therefore domestic operators can not obtain a licence for offering online gambling services to Czech residents, whereas foreign operators offers these services, but illegal. Therefore is necessary to create a new rule, which will be able to change this unsatisfactory situation. In the next part I write about three big cases, which are important for situation in european gambling industry. European commission and European court of justice have both a big influence and I describe, what they do for better situation in european gambling, because some states ( for example Germany ) prohibit internet gambling on their own territory, but this is problem, because this rule is in discrepancy with law of European union. In Czech republic is internet gambling for foreign company prohibited too and I explain, what is the reason for this situation. This diploma work contains my own research, how works telephone and internet gambling.
