Little attention is paid to the civil remedies available when infringement of a trade mark or the right to goodwill occurs. Yet, for the owners of ~uch rights, these remedies are of much greater importance than theoretical considerations regarding the nature of the rights or what constitutes their infringement. This thesis analyses the civil remedies for trade mark infringement granted by the South African Trade Marks Act 194 of 1993. In the South African context, any consideration of civil remedies is rendered problematic by the attempted graft of English remedies onto a legal system with a different common-law background. It is, therefore, essential first to trace the English origin and application of these remedies, and then to determine whether each remedy is acceptable in terms of the South African common law. This is necessary, as our courts have previously rejected or adapted English remedies which were unknown to our common law but which Parliament introduced in legislation. The remedies of interdict (or injunction) in final and interlocutory form, compensatory damages, reasonable royalties, and delivery up are analysed from a substantive law and a procedural perspective. The procedural innovation of an inquiry as to damages is also considered. In respect of each remedy, (1) the English roots and development of the remedy are traced; (2) differences of approach in two other Commonwealth jurisdictions, Australia and Canada, are highlighted; (3) the development of the South African equivalent is detailed; and (4) suggestions for the future implementation of the remedy in South Africa are made. In the penultimate chapter, our common law and legislation (including the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 108 of 1996 ) are measured against the requirements of the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Recommendations for the effective utilization of each remedy in South Africa are then made. They include suggestions for legislative amendment in respect of delivery up and an inquiry as to damages, and the introduction of statutory damages as an further civil remedy. / Mercentile Law / LL.

That kings throughout the entire Middle Ages used the marriages of themselves and their children to further their political agendas has never been in question. What this thesis examines is the significance these marriage alliances truly had to domestic and foreign politics in England from the accession of Henry II in 1154 until the death of his grandson Henry III in 1272. Chronicle and record sources shed valuable light upon the various aspects of royal marriage at this time: firstly, they show that the marriages of the royal family at this time were geographically diverse, ranging from Scotland and England to as far abroad as the Empire, Spain, and Sicily, Most of these marriages were based around one primary principle, that being control over Angevin land-holdings on the continent. Further examination of the ages at which children were married demonstrates a practicality to the policy, in that often at least the bride was young, certainly young enough to bear children and assimilate into whatever land she may travel to. Sons were also married to secure their future, either as heir to the throne or the husband of a wealthy heiress. Henry II and his sons were almost always closely involved in the negotiations for the marriages, and were often the initiators of marriage alliances, showing a strong interest in the promotion of marriage as a political tool. Dowries were often the centre of alliances, demonstrating how much the bride, or the alliance, was worth, in land, money, or a combination of the two. One of the most important aspects for consideration though, was the outcome of the alliances. Though a number were never confirmed, and most royal children had at least one broken proposal or betrothal before their marriage, many of the marriages made were indeed successful in terms of gaining from the alliance what had originally been desired.

Dans l’Égypte pré- et protodynastique (3900-2700 av. J.-C.), l’imagerie anthropomorphe occupe une place de prime importance. Relevant de trois modes de communication – iconographique, ambigu et écrit – ces figurations humaines sont reproduites sur un large éventail de types de supports. Tandis que les études se focalisent habituellement sur une catégorie de source, ce travail se concentre sur un motif précis, la figure anthropomorphe, et propose ainsi une approche transversale de l’imagerie anthropomorphe pré- et protodynastique. Ainsi, cette étude vise à déterminer l’évolution des représentations anthropomorphes au cours de ces périodes, à travers elles, à dévoiler la manière dont se concevaient les premiers Égyptiens. La recherche se fonde sur l’élaboration de typologies des figures humaines et des motifs associés, couplée à une étude statistique des données ainsi réunies. Les résultats de ce travail ont permis de révéler une évolution chronologique des figurations humaines, avec une nette rupture se dessinant entre Prédynastique et Protodynastique. Cette transition est à mettre en lien avec l’introduction d’une monarchie royale, provoquant une dichotomie entre documentations royale et privée en raison d’une mainmise de l’État sur l’expression artistique. Les figurations anthropomorphes témoignent par ailleurs de l’émergence, outre l’identité collective préexistante, d’une identité personnelle, gage d’une individualisation grandissante. / During the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods (3900-2700 B.C.), anthropomorphic imagery is a theme of prime importance in Egyptian art. Human figures coming from the iconographic, ambiguous and written modes of communication are depicted on a large range of sources. While most of the studies focus on a single type of document, this work concentrates on a particular pattern, the human figure, by proposing a transversal approach of the anthropomorphic imagery. Therefore, this study aims to constrain the evolution of the human depictions during these periods. Through the inspection of the human figures, the study also aims to unravel the way the first Egyptians conceptualised themselves. This work is based on the creation of typologies for the human figures and associated patterns, analysed using statistical tools.The results reveal a chronological evolution of the human figures, with a distinct rupture between the Predynastic Period and the Early Dynastic Period. This transition relates to the introduction of a royal monarchy. This introduction causes a dichotomy between royal and private documentations owing to the appropriation of the art by the state. Besides, the anthropomorphic figures show the appearance of a personal identity in addition to the pre-existent collective identity. This feature is evidence of an increasing individuation.

Urban festival actively sought to transform the early modern city, creating an idealised space that was deemed to be a more suitable site for celebration. This dissertation shows how urban festival marked both the conjuncture and disjuncture between a rhetorical ideal and the challenges inherent in its practical realisation in London and Paris between 1660 and 1715. Celebrations were located in the real early modern city‐ a space that posed all manner of design problems for those responsible for designing, devising and choreographing festival. While the ideal celebratory city did exist in the rhetoric that informed preparations for events and their representation, festival also constituted a series of performances in real space and time that were subject to uncontrollable factors, such as poor weather, injury, uncooperative workforces and imperfect audience response. Only those charged with commemorating festival had full control over the event, producing the books, chronicles and illustrative material that are most often consulted as sources by festival historians. By means of a tripartite structure, this dissertation will interrogate how the deployment of the spectacular aspired to create the ideal celebratory city at three key moments in the narrative of every celebration. The first section focuses on the practical and legislative preparations made before events. The second section considers the evidence of what actually happened during the performance or realisation of the events. The third, and final, part of the dissertation looks at the representation of celebrations in printed textual descriptions and visual images. Starting from the evidence of objects, including viewing platforms, fireworks, temporary architecture and bonfires, it will suggest the extent to which the ideal was achieved and the ways in which it influenced the practice of those involved in its production. Moreover, as a single event could be informed by more than one version of the ideal celebratory city, evidence of preparation, performance and representation will also demonstrate how far celebrations were the product of contested ideals.

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar os modelos de realeza em Luís IX, rei da França entre 1226 e 1270, tendo como base principalmente a obra de Jean de Joinville intitulada Histoire de Saint Louis. No decorrer da análise, constata-se o caráter peculiar do documento como espelho de príncipe, gênero medieval que procura estabelecer um modelo ideal de realeza. Luís IX é nele retratado como um rei peregrino, cruzado que ampliou o reino de Deus na terra, buscando identificá-lo ao reino de Cristo, à Imitatio Christi. Joinville, senescal de Champagne, descreveu nessa obra grande parte da vida do rei, memórias resgatadas trinta anos depois de sua morte. Escrita de 1305 a 1309, a pedido de Joana de Navarra (1270-1305), esposa de Filipe o Belo (1268-1314), seu objetivo seria de enaltecer as palavras santas e as boas realizações do rei, que se tornaria São Luís. Escolheu-se este documento sobretudo por seu caráter de particular autoria, visto que Joinville, na condição de senescal laico, amigo e confidente do rei, narrou um longo período do governo do seu rei e senhor de um ponto de vista privilegiado. Uma característica muito marcante da monarquia capetíngia e do reinado de Luís IX especificamente foi a forte aliança com a Igreja. A Igreja era peça mestra do sistema feudal e sua justificadora ideológica, sendo a principal intermediária entre o rei e seu populus, dando-lhe a posse do reino, por meio da cerimônia de sagração e unção. Rei símbolo do período medieval francês, Luís IX aglutinou elementos das três funções sociais, propostas por Adalberon de Laon no século XI, a saber, a dos oratores, bellatores e laboratores. Tornou-se santo trinta e sete anos após sua morte, contribuindo para legitimar a dinastia capetíngia proposta e representada por Filipe o Belo. / The goal of this work is to identify the royalty models in Louis IX, king of France from 1226 to 1270. The basis of analysis is mostly Jean de Joinvilles work named Histoire de Saint Louis. During this analysis, we verify the peculiarity of the source, a mirror of prince, medieval gender whose goal is to establish an ideal of royalty. Louis IX is traced as a king-pilgrim, a crusade that enlarged the king of God on the hearth. He is identified with the kingdom of Christ and the Imitatio Christi. In that work, Joinville, seneschal of Champagne, described the main facts of the kings life, recovered memories thirty years after his death. Written from 1305 to 1309, by request of Joan of Navarra (1270-1305), Philip Le Beauxwife (1268-1314), his goal would be to value the holy words and good accomplishments of the king, Saint Louis. We chosen that source mostly for its trace of private authority, since Joinville, as laic seneschal, friend and confident of the king, described, from a privileged point of view, a long period of his king and lords government. The strong alliance with the Church would be one of the main traces of the Capetingean monarchy. The Church was the master piece of the feudalism, as well as its ideological support. It was the main mediator between the king and his populus, by giving him the power towards the kingdom through the ceremony of crownement. King-symbol of the French Medieval Ages, Louis IX grouped elements of the three social functions of the XIth century, according to Adalberon de Laon: the oratores, the bellatores, and the laboratores. He was canonized thirty seven years after his death, supporting the legacy of Philip Le Beauxs capetingean dynasty.

Bakgrund: År 2010 infördes ISO 10668, en standard som skulle öka transparensen och kvaliteten i varumärkesvärderingar. Trots standarden så skiljer det idag miljardbelopp på kända varumärken mellan olika värderingsaktörer, något som talar för att det fortfarande finns en problematik kring värderingar. En nyhet som kom i och med standarden var den beteendemässiga aspekten där hänsyn ska tas till kunders uppfattningar, kännedom och associationer gentemot ett varumärke. Standarden uttrycker dock inte specifikt hur värderare ska beakta denna aspekt vid en värdering. Syfte: Studien syftar till att analysera hur kunderna beaktas som en del av varumärkets värde vid en värdering. Dessutom kommer studien beskriva varumärkesvärderingens betydelse utifrån olika aktörers befattningar, samt analysera eventuella skillnader och svårigheter i deras tillvägagångssätt vid värderingar. Metod: För att uppnå syftet har vi använt oss av en abduktiv forskningsansats och tillämpat ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt. Empirin har samlats in genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer utförda med aktörer som besitter kunskap inom värdering. Slutsats: Våra intervjupersoner har haft skilda åsikter kring hur varumärkets värde ska och bör beräknas, med anledning till deras olika befattningar och kunskap inom området. Överlag har de med lokal förankring ett enklare synsätt än de som arbetar i större revisions- och konsultbolag. I praktiken tycks det dock till slut alltid handla om vad en köpare är villig att betala, eller hur man som värderare skjuter från höften. Det har dessutom visat sig att kunderna inte räknas som ett adderat värde på ett varumärke utan att de istället ska fungera som ett bevis på det värde som ett varumärke påstås besitta, något som det dock finns begränsad kunskap kring. / Background: In 2010, ISO 10668 was introduced as a new standard to increase the transparency and quality of brand valuation. Despite the standard, there is a huge divergence in the value of famous brands between different valuators which implicates that brand valuation still is a problematic area. A new feature that came along with the standard was the behavioral aspect which considers customers perceptions, knowledge and associations towards a brand. Although, the standard does not specify in what way valuators should consider this in a brand valuation process. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze in what way customers are taken into account as a part of the valuation of a brand. Also it will describe the significance of brand valuation out of various actors’ positions and analyze possible differences and complications in their procedures. Method: To achieve the purpose of this thesis we have used an abductive research approach and applied a qualitative method. The empirical findings have been gathered through semi-structured interviews with five actors within the valuation industry. Conclusion: Our respondents has different opinions in how, and if, the value of a brand should be measured, mostly because of their different positions and knowledge. Overall, the local valuators have a simpler approach than those working in larger auditing and consulting companies. In practice, however, it seems to be a matter of what a buyer is willing to pay, or how the valuator shoots from the hip. It has also been shown that customers are not counted as an added value of a brand, instead their opinions work as a proof of a brands value, although it is something that there’s limited knowledge about.
