Titel: Produktexponering på sociala medier - en studie om hur bloggar och Snapchat påverkar konsumenters inköpsbeslut. Nivå: C-uppsats i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Maya Sundlöf och Malin Lund Handledare: Jonas Kågström Datum: 2015   Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka om konsumenters inköpsbeslut och val av varumärke påverkas av exponering av produkter på bloggar respektive Snapchat.   Syftet med studien är att undersöka om konsumenter blir påverkade av kända personers produktexponeringar på deras bloggar och på deras Snapchat.   Metod: I studien genomfördes ett experiment med 98 deltagare som var uppdelade i fyra experimentgrupper. I studien blev en experimentgrupp exponerad av produkter från blogginlägg och en annan experimentgrupp blev exponerad av produkter från bloggares Snapchat. I resterande två experimentgrupper tillämpades defaulteffekten för att se om det skulle påverka deras val av varumärke.   Resultat & slutsats: Resultatet visar att Snapchat är den typ av social media som personer i större utsträckning blir påverkade av vid produktexponeringar. Bloggar påverkar i större utsträckning ett inköpsbeslut när kända personer ger rekommendationer. Vår slutsats är att Snapchat är ett fungerande marknadsföringsverktyg när det gäller att marknadsföra produkter och väcka uppmärksamhet hos personer. Bloggar är också ett fungerande marknadsföringsverktyg och påverkar konsumenten mest när någon vill marknadsföra ett varumärke för en produkt.   Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Se marknadsföring via sociala medier från ett företagsperspektiv, hur företagen tänker vid val av kända personer att marknadsföra sig via samt hur bloggare tänker vid val av företag att samarbeta med. Uppsatsens bidrag: Då bloggar visat sig vara ett bra marknadsföringsverktyg valde vi att genomföra en studie om Snapchat är ett likvärdigt marknadsföringsverktyg då forskningsområdet om detta är svagt. Vi har även undersökt om produktexponering påverkar konsumenters inköpsbeslut.

Level: Final assignment for Bachelor´s Degree in Business Administration: Marketing Author: Maya Sundlöf and Malin Lund Supervisor: Jonas Kågström Date: 2015   Aim: Our aim of this study is to investigate whether consumers' purchase decisions and brand of choice is affected by exposure of the products on blogs and Snapchat.   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether consumers are affected by known person’s product exposure on their blogs and on their Snapchat.   Method: The study conducted an experiment with 98 participants who were divided into four experimental groups. The study was an experimental group exposed to products from blog posts and another experimental group were exposed products from bloggers Snapchat. In the remaining two experimental groups were applied default effect to see if it would influence their choice of brand.   Results & Conclusion: The result shows that Snapchat is the kind of social media as people increasingly become affected by the product exposures. Blogs influences to a greater extent a purchase decision when famous people give recommendations. Our conclusion is that Snapchat is an effective marketing tool when it comes to marketing products and attract attention of people. Blogs are also an effective marketing tool and affects the consumer the most when someone wants to advertise a brand name for a product.   Suggestions for further research: Marketing on social media from a business perspective, how businesses in the choice of celebrity endorsement to work with and how do bloggers in the selection of companies to work with.   Contribution of the thesis: When blogs proved to be a good marketing tool, we chose to conduct a study on snapchat is an equivalent marketing then research on this is weak. We also investigated whether the product exposure affects consumers' purchasing decisions.   Key words: Social media, celebrity endorsement, blog, Snapchat, trademarks, default effect, personal branding

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.

The extended protection offered to reputed trademarks in article 8(5) EUTMR and in particular the illusive concept of detriment to distinctive character has been causing difficulties for both legislators and courts throughout Europe since the concept was introduced by Frank Schechter in 1927. Detriment to distinctive character, or blurring as it also called, has undergone several changes since its implementation in the first trademark regulation due to case law from the CJEU and no case has had a bigger impact in this area than the Intel judgement. In Intel the court sought to resolve any uncertainties about detriment to distinctive character once and for all by developing the global appreciation test which was to consider all factors relevant to the case at hand. This test was however rather undermined by the introduction of the unsupported requirement that the proprietor had to prove a change in the economic behavior of the consumer. Since Intel, the number of claims regarding detriment to distinctive character has decreased due to the strictness of the requirement and the unwillingness of the court to sufficiently explain what sort of evidence that would effectively prove such change. As it stands, the concept of detriment to distinctive character is in serious risk of becoming redundant due to the current test for blurring not being fit for purpose.

Au cours de la première moitié du XIXe siècle, les consommateurs, pour choisir leurs eaux-de-vie, s'appuyaient sur les réputations individuelles des distributeurs. Les produits étaient principalement commercialisés sous les marques des détaillants ou sous des marques collectives. Dans ce contexte, l'horizon commercial des négociants charentais ne dépassait pas le lien direct avec lequel ils étaient en contact dans la chaîne de distribution. Leurs réputations n’étaient pas connues, sauf exceptions, par les consommateurs. Le contexte institutionnel n'offrait pas la possibilité aux négociants charentais de pouvoir poursuivre en justice les grossistes et les détaillants qui fraudaient sur la marque. Il laissait toute liberté d'action aux intermédiaires de distribution, en grande partie parce que la réputation, la marque, n'était pas reconnue comme un actif faisant partie de la catégorie des droits de propriété. Cela ne signifiait pas que les réputations des producteurs n'arrivaient pas jusqu’aux consommateurs finaux. La mise en avant du nom des producteurs ne dépendait jamais de ces derniers, mais du bon vouloir des intermédiaires de distribution.Progressivement, au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, une nouvelle forme de coordination apparait, beaucoup moins individualisée, fondée sur une forme impersonnelle : les marques. Les consommateurs ne placent plus seulement l'objet de leur confiance dans la réputation individuelle d'un détaillant mais font désormais confiance en une entité qu'ils ne connaissent pas personnellement. Les producteurs sont en mesure de prendre en main une partie du travail de commercialisation et de distribution. L'espace institutionnel, qui offrait autrefois une liberté d'action quasi totale aux distributeurs, limite de plus en plus le travail de ces intermédiaires. qui sont tenus comme les principaux responsables des conflits portant sur la qualité des produits et des cas de concurrence déloyale.La reconnaissance des droits de propriété intellectuelle dans l'arène marchande n'est pas hasardeuse. Elles est la conséquence d'un nouveau contexte commercial désigné traditionnellement comme la « première mondialisation ». Ce nouveau contexte requiert de nouvelles règles du jeu, de nouvelles institutions, de nouvelles formes de régulation. La question de la qualité des produits et celle des marques firent toutes deux l'objet d'attentions accrues et de régulations massives au cours du dernier tiers du XIXe siècle. Elles offrirent la possibilité aux producteurs de pouvoir adopter des stratégies de marque. / During the first half of the nineteenth century, consumers, in order to choose their brandies, relied on the individual reputations of retailers. Products were mainly marketed under the brands of retailers or under collective brands. In this context, the commercial horizon of the Cognac brandy producers did not go beyond the direct link with which they were in contact in the supply chain. Their reputations were not known, with some exceptions, by consumers. The institutional context did not provide the opportunity for Cognac brandy producers to sue wholesalers and retailers who defrauded the brand. Distribution intermediaries were free to act, largely because reputation and brand, were not recognized as an asset within the category of property rights. This did not mean that the reputations of the producers did not reach consumers. The promotion of producers’ names never depended on their own commercial strategies, but on the willingness of distribution intermediaries.Progressively, during the second half of the nineteenth century, a new form of coordination appeared, much less individualized, based on an impersonal form: producers’ brands. Consumers no longer trusted retailers’ reputations, but trusted an entity they did not know personally. Producers were able to take over marketing and distribution work that were formerly of distributors’ responsabilities. The institutional space, which once provided distributors with almost total freedom of action, increasingly limited the freedom of intermediaries who were considered as the main responsible for conflicts on product quality and unfair competition.The recognition of intellectual property rights in the mercantile arena is not hazardous. It is the consequence of a new business environment traditionally described as the « first globalization ». This new context required new rules of the game, new institutions, new forms of regulation. Quality of products and brands were subject of increased attention and massive regulation during the last third of the nineteenth century. They provided the opportunity for producers to adopt brand strategies.

Denna uppsats undersöker hur kvinnor och män i olika åldersgrupper förhåller sig till Flashapplikationer utifrån deras uppfattning om färg och form. Deltagarna som består av skolungdomar, nyexaminerade studenter och pensionärer har genom en enkät och en semistrukturerad intervjuform fått redogöra för sina intryck av Santa Marias, Eccos och Indiskas webbplatser. Undersökningsdeltagarna identifierar Flashelementen genom deras rörelser. Deltagarna vill välja om de ska se animationer och andra applikationer skapade i Flash för att inte tappa koncentrationen från övrigt innehåll. Studenterna i undersökningen har en mer kritisk hållning till färgval, formgivning och användandet av Flash än övriga. Kvinnorna i undersökningen har en mer liberal hållning till färg och form än männen. / This essay explores how men and women in different age groups experiences Flashapplications, depending on their perception of colour and form. The participants, teenagers at a junior high school, students who just have finished their degree and senior citizens have by answering a form and by taking part in a semi structured interview been able to express their opinion of the following Scandinavian web pages: Santa Maria, Ecco and Indiska. The participants identify the flash objects by their movements. The participants want to be able to choose weather or not to see the animations and other applications created in Flash, to avoid loosing focus on the other information the trademarks wants to express. The students have the most critical approach to colour, form and the use of Flash objects. The female participants have a more liberal approach to colour and form then the male participants.

Le design et la production d’un article de mode impliquent le talent et le savoir-faire du styliste. La définition de la matière première, la finalité et le produit qui incorpore le dessin ou modèle de mode sont autant d’éléments que le styliste doit prendre en compte pour réaliser une création. C’est pourquoi le processus intellectuel engagé dans l’élaboration de leurs créations se doit d’être protégé par le système juridique. Au vu de la propriété intellectuelle, de nombreux droits permettent de la protéger, comme les marques, le droit d’auteur et les dessins ou modèles industriels. La législation colombienne a opté pour le régime des dessins ou modèles industriels. L’étude conjointe du secteur de la mode en tenant compte de la création est très importante car sa définition apportera au styliste une garantie juridique quant à l’objet de protection ainsi que la portée du droit. Le dynamisme de la mode montre néanmoins que la législation actuelle est inadaptée. La thèse présente ainsi les problèmes existants et les solutions offertes par d’autres régimes juridiques pour la protéger de manière adéquate. / The design and production of a fashion item involves the talent and expertise of the designer. Along the design process, the designer has to make decisions on raw materials, end use,and the actual product to which design is to be applied. This multi-faceted intellectual process behind the fashion design must be protected by the legal system. It is important to conduct an overall study of the fashion sector taking into account the creative process in order to provide the designer with legal guarantee in regards to the object to be protected and the scope of rights. There are well known instruments that protect intellectual property such as trademarks, copyright, design patents and industrial design law. Colombia has chosen to follow the industrial design law which, given the dynamic nature of fashion, seems to be inadequate. This thesis presents the existing problems in the Colombian legal system and the solutions offered by other legal regimes to protect fashion more adequately.

This treatise provides an overview of the procedures for the registration, regulation and protection of Internet domain names. An analysis of legal rules applicable to domain names and problems related to the protection of domain names in South Africa, United State, United Kingdom and internationally is undertaken. The problems includes cybersquatting, misuse of personal names, reverse domain hijacking, misuse of meta tags and keywords. The treatise established possible solutions applicable to South Africa by investigating how other countries have dealt with such problems, and further investigated the extent to which South African legislation is suited to deal with such problems. An investigation of the regulation in terms of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 is briefly attempted, and proposals for the future on the South African domain name system suggested.

Denna studie undersöker hur kommunikatörer arbetar med strategisk kommunikation i Sveriges högsta ishockeyliga SHL. Uppsatsen är inriktad på sociala medier och hur kommunikatörerna arbetar med de möjligheter som detta medfört. Uppsatsen undersöker även vilken roll kommunikatören får i organisationen Vårt syfte är således att skapa en förståelse för kommunikatörens roll i organisationen och hur de genomför sitt arbete ur en strategisk synvinkel.           För att komma fram till ett resultat har vi använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer med kommunikatörer anställda av de ishockeyklubbar som tillhörde SHL under säsongen 2016/2017. Gemensamt för respondenterna är att samtliga är ansvariga för respektive klubbs användning av sociala medier.          Resultatet visar att klubbarna arbetar med sociala medier strategiskt för att bygga sitt varumärke men att de övergripande kommunikationsmålen inte skiljer sig från andra kommunikationskanaler. Strategierna mellan de olika sociala medierna skiljde sig dock från varandra i arbetet med att nå olika målgrupper. Det finns en efterfrågan om att kunna ha fler anställda som jobbar med kommunikation. Det skulle ge möjligheten för kommunikatörerna att kunna fokusera på färre medier samtidigt vilket skulle resultera i bättre kommunikation och högre kvalitet på materialet som produceras. / This study examines how communication officers work with strategic communication within the highest tier of the Swedish ice hockey league (SHL). We look into the communicator’s role within the organization. This essay also focuses on social media and how the communicators work with the opportunities that social media brings to the clubs. The purpose of the essay is therefore to examine how the communicators work with strategic communication and to create an understanding of the communicator’s role within the organization.           To reach a result we conducted qualitative interviews with communicators who are employed by the different clubs that made up the SHL during the season 2016-2017.  All communicators who were interviewed all had in common that they were responsible for their clubs social media use.           Results show that the communicators work with social media strategically to improve their trademark. These strategies are divided between different social mediums to reach different target groups. Another finding showed that communicators expressed a desire to have more people employed working with communication. This would give the communicators the opportunity to focus on fewer mediums which would result in better communication and a higher quality of the material that is produced.
