This work presents some new points of view on a trademark, expecially a view of a trademark as an active instrument in business competition. Study also analyses the final stage of the competition between Pilsner breweries, during the first thirty years of the 20th century, in which Živnostenská banka played an important role. The bank entered the competition in the first ten years of the 20th century and through capital penetrated the structures of Pilsner beer industry. In this final stage of the business competition trade-mark was not only a passive instrument, but it was possible to use it for preventive defence against the competition. |
