Vazeni kolegove a kolegyne,
 
K diskusi o pouzivani ochrane znamky UNIX bych doporucil si precist
vybornou (a velmi jasne psanou) kapitolu 7 v knize:
 
PEARSON, Hillary E. and Clifford G. MILLER: Commercial exploitation
of intellectual property. London: Blackstone press, 1990.
ISBN 1-85431-044-5 vii+464p. Lstg 21.95p v Anglii.
 
Kapitola (str. 178-221) je na tema: Protecting image and reputation:
Passing-off, Trade marks and Service marks. "This chapter is about
the way people copy in order to benefit from the image and reputation
of others and whether this kind of copying can be prevented or
restricted by law." Odpoved autoru je "ano", s detailnim navodem.
[na priklad: strana 209: "Attacking a registration or application",
"The grounds of attack. The following is a list of the grounds on
which various attacks can be based
*the mark is likely to deceive or cause confusion,
...".]
 
Pearson je "intellectual property lawyer (v jedne firme v Anglii)...,
formerly a partner in a major intellectual property firm  (v USA) and
... a member of the California nad Texas Bars and Barrister of the
Middle Temple" (v Londyne); Miller je absolvent (s BSc a ARICS)
Imperial College, University of London, a pravnik
(solicitor) specialista na "intellectual property law", a tez
prednasi ve sve alma mater (v Continuing Education Centre).
 
Kniha dava priklady soudnich rozhodnuti nejenom z Anglie nybrz i z
jinych statu (hlavne USA), a bere v uvahu tez legislaci Evropskych
Spolecenstvi.
 
Kdyby ten UNIX-Kokes byl stejny, nebo i v hlavnich bodech podobny
znamemu UNIXU tak by to pravdepodobne byla otazka "copyright", kdyby
UNIX- Kokes byl prodavan jako "stejny" s UNIXEM tak by to mohla byt
tez vec "passing-off". Kdyby ovsem UNIX-Kokes nemel nic spolecneho s
UNIXEM tak by nemel pan Kokes zadny duvod pro stiznosti, jelikoz by
se jeho vyrobek dal snadne rozpoznat od UNIXU znameho jiz (v ruznych
variantech) skoro ctvrt stoleti.
 
Ohledne software vseobecne, jedna autorativni kniha je:
 
CARR, H. and R. ARNOLD: Computer software: legal protection in the
United Kingdom. London: Sweet & Maxwell, 1992 (2nd edition). ISBN 0-
421-44380-4.xl+312 pp. Lstg 45.00p v Anglii.
 
Oba autori jsou "barrister". Psana pro pravniky. Obsahuje tez uvahy o
"other jurisdictions; EEC regulations, directives, notices, ...
treaties and conventions" k 1.10.1991, s informaci o "EC Directive on
the protection of computer software to be implemented by 1.1.1993".
 
Kdyz vlada CR doufa ze CR se stane plnym clenem EU jeste pred
koncem stoleti, tedy behem necelych peti let, tak legislace (a
interpretace legislace) v jednom clenskem statu Evropske Unie je i
pro CR relevantni. A kdyby relevantni zakon v CR (a praxe
interpretace) byl jeste nedostatecny, tak prave poznatky
zakonodarstvi a praxe jedne "vyspele" demokracie by mohly byt
uzitecne pri pripadne novelizaci zakona(u) a praxe.
 
A na konec: informovat majitele ochrane znamky UNIX jsem tez chtel
navrhnout: ale Tomas Muller mne predstihl. Doufam ze o konsekvencich
uslysime dale.
 
S pozdravy,
 
Herbert S. [H.Schur@sheffield.ac.uk]
