Abstract

V originále

This chapter discusses patent law as it applies to software in the Czech Republic. It outlines the various ways to protect technical inventions, including national, utility model, and European patents. The chapter emphasizes the conditions for patentability, exclusion of certain types of inventions, and the application process. It also covers issues such as patent termination, revocation, and the distinction between copyright and patent protection for software. A court case example illustrates how software-implemented inventions can be protected.
