Abstrakt: | Intellectual property is often defined as ”knowledge which may be transformed into
value”. Nowadays, the importance of knowledge is steadily growing in the economic system.
Today, not only material goods decide the value of enterprise, but also intellectual
property which becomes more and more important. Thus, the management of intellectual
property is particularly significant in the growing standard of enterprise. Consequently,
in terms of the functioning of business entities it is crucial to register markers
as trademarks. Granting the protective right as the exclusive law on trademarks gives
possibility to use trademarks in an earning and professional way in the whole area of
the Republic of Poland and consequently add many benefits to Polish traders. In this
study the author quotes several judgements delivered under the Act of Trademarks of
31 January 1985 (Journal of Polish State Law 1985, No. 5, item 17), which, however,
keeps the whole novelty under the currently obtained Act of Industrial Property Law
[i.p.l.] of 30 June 2000 (Journal of Polish State Law 2001, No 49, item 508; consolidated
act Journal of Polish State Law 2003, No. 119, item 1117). This study aims to present
the protection of the title in the light of the Industrial Property Law. |
