Konkurrensrätt och immaterialrätt har länge betraktats vara rättsområden som skyddar motstående intressen. En av de regleringar som finns för att underlätta förhållandet mellan de två rättsområdena är kommissionens förordning nr 772/2004 för grupper av avtal om tekniköverföring. Genom denna förordning önskar kommissionen garantera en effektiv konkurrens på marknaden samt erbjuda företag som ingår Competition Law and Intellectual Property Law are sometimes considered as areas of law which protect conflicting interests. One of the regulations striving to facilitate the relationship between these two areas is Regulation 772/2004, on the application of article 101.1 TFEU to categories of technology transfer agreements. The objectives of this Regulation are to ensure effective competition and t

De senaste årtiondena har vi sett en ökad förståelse för hur strukturella ojämlikheter mellan könen inom flyktingrätten har lett till att kvinnor systematiskt har missgynnats vid beviljandet av flyktingskap i enlighet med 1951 års Flyktingkonvention. I Sverige ledde det här till en lagändring av Utlänningslagen år 2005, då könsrelaterad förföljelse lades till som en grund för flyktingskap. Den härThere has been an increased awareness during the past decades of how structural gender inequalities have negatively affected women’s ability to claim refugee status as defined in the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. In Sweden, this discussion led to an amendment of the Immigration Act in 2005, where gender-related persecution was added as a ground for refugee status. This pa

Doktrinen kring rättsstatsprincipen är nära sammanflätad med vad det innebär att leva i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Det är en rättsfilosofi som appliceras aktivt i domstolar och internationella organisationer såsom Europadomstolen och Förenta Nationerna, som en absolut nödvändighet för att främja och implementera rättvisa och fred på jorden. Trots skiljda tolkningar av vad principen om rättsstaten The doctrine on Rule of Law is intrinsic to what it means to live in a democratic society. It is a legal philosophy which has been, and continues to be, actively applied by courts and international organizations such as the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations, as an absolute necessity to promote and enforce justice and peace across the globe. Despite diverse interpretations of th

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de för parfymtillverkare tillgängliga varumärkes- och marknadsrättsliga verktygen mot snålskjutsfenomenet ”smell-alikes”, dvs. efterbildningar av välkända märkesparfymer av lägre kvalitet som säljs för en bråkdel av originalpriset. I avsaknad av ett självklart, juridiskt varumärkesskydd för dofter lämnas producenterna att förlita sig på det varumärkesrätThe aim of this paper is to investigate the legal tools available for perfume producers in trademark and market law against the free-riding phenomenon “smell-alikes”, i.e. imitations of famous brand perfumes of lower quality sold at a fraction of the original price. In the absence of evident legal trademark protection for fragrances, manufacturers have to rely on the trademark protection granted

This paper empirically explores 10 years of play-by-play data from the seasons 2011-2021 from National Basketball Association with a comprehensive dataset with 2.7 million shots to test for a hot hand, (i.e., predictability in future outcomes) using three separate models. I find proof for its existence in all short-term categories using panel data as well as when adjusting for shot difficulty usin

In this multi-case study, the question is examined as follows: How do Swedish municipalities work with public health through social investments? The motivation for the question is that in accordance with previous research, political instruments regarding social investment seem to be underdeveloped. The work is based on two theoretical frameworks, policy-making theory, and political instrument theo

Labour law is facing a challenge in the era of globalisation. Due to new conditions in the landscape of employment relations, the legal field needs to reformulate its legitimacy in order to not risk becoming obsolete. This thesis seeks to contribute to the discussion on the need to reinvigorate labour law with a focus on labour rights protection of third country migrant workers. The thesis analyse

When building a telescope, importance does not only lie on the optical performance. Keeping the entire structure stable is also of great importance. In the case of the Euro50, the secondary mirror cell will be located some 60 m above ground level, exposed of wind speeds up to 15 m/s. This makes the stabilization of the mirror cell to a dicult problem. However, it has to be solved.

The topic of unequal regional development is well-studied, and evening those inequalities out has long been a core priority for the European Union, deemed necessary for sustainable long-term growth across the EU. Even so, many regions seem to be ‘left behind’ or treated as though they ‘don’t matter’, and the ‘populist vote’ for Euroskeptic, ‘anti-systemic’ parties has grown steadily throughout the

I december 2023 kom HD:s avgörande i PFAS-målet, där frågan om förhöjd risk för framtida skada kan utgöra personskada ställdes på sin spets. HD uttalade att det strider mot det traditionella synsättet att klassa en ren förhöjd risk som en personskada. Höga halter av PFAS i blodet bedömdes däremot utgöra personskada eftersom de höga halterna innebär en beaktansvärd kroppslig försämring. UppställandIn December 2023, the Swedish Supreme Court ruled in the so called PFAS case, in which the question of whether an increased risk of future harm can constitute personal injury was put to the test. The court stated that it contradicts the traditional view to classify a mere increased risk as a personal injury. However, high levels of PFAS in the blood were deemed to constitute personal injury becaus

The inauguration of President Trump in 2025 led to drastic changes in the U.S. market, notably great political as well as economical risks and uncertainties. The U.S. equity market was struck heavily by the policies, which also heavily affected global equity markets. In this case study, we study a long-short, market-neutral hedge fund situated in London, specifically HAFP (a pseudonym for the inte

Idag är många av staters bärande samhällsfunktioner digitaliserade. En fientlig aktör kan således genom cybermedel orsaka skador för en stat i en grad som förr endast var möjlig genom fysiska medel. Krigsföring har således fått en ny arena, men det är ännu oklart under vilka förutsättningar en utsatt stat får bruka våld i självförsvar mot en cyberattack. I internationell rätt finns ett allmänt vMany of society’s bearing functions are today digitalized. A hostile actor can therefore through cyber-attacks cause damage to a state in a degree previously possible only through physical attacks. Therefore, warfare has entered a new arena, but it is still unclear under which circumstances a state under attack is allowed to use force in self-defence against cyber-attacks. International law stat

Sen ankomst för arbetstagare är ett problem som sällan tvistas om i domstol, och avgörs inte särskilt ofta till arbetsgivarens favör när denne vill säga upp arbetstagare på denna grund. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vad som gäller angående arbetsgivarens uppsägningsrätt i fall av denna typ utifrån diverse rättskällor, och hur frågan hanteras i praktiken av företag och fackliga ombudsmän då det kaLate arrival for work by an employee is an issue that is rarely tested in trial, nor does the employer win cases of this type very often. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the employer’s right to dismiss an employee on this ground. Different sources of law will be used to assess this, coupled with an insight into how the matter is handled in companies and trade union solicitors since thi

White- and blue collar workers traditionally belong to different unions and, therefore, are covered by different collective agreements. Collective agreements for different employee categories create internal divisions, which mean that white collar workers are not obliged to do work that falls under a blue collar agreement and reversed. Historically the difference between white- and blue collar wor

Allmänt känt hos många jurister – om inte alla – är att allmän domstol använder sig av vissa utarbetade modeller eller metoder då den har att utföra en tolkningsoperation på ett avtal. Dessa metoder underlättar för tolkaren att uppvisa enhetlighet i bedömningen så att lika avtal tolkas lika. Detta är även önskvärt då det leder till ett visst mått av förutsägbarhet. Allmänna reklamationsnämnden är Common knowledge among Swedish lawyers is that the Swedish Court – in cases regarding the interpretation of a contract – uses certain established methods for determining the proper content of that contract. These methods help the interpreter (in most cases a judge or an arbitrator) to uphold uniformity so that all cases that are alike are treated the same. These methods also help in withholding a

Many changes have occurred in the area of immunity for high state officials during the last century. States and their High Representatives, such as Head of State, Head of Government and Foreign Ministers were at the beginning of the last century granted absolute immunities for all acts they conducted. Evolution has, however, produced new rules based more on their need to function properly and less

Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are designed for the study of past, present and future vegetation patterns together with associated biogeochemical cycles and climate feedbacks. However, most DGVMs do not yet have detailed representations of permafrost and non-permafrost peatlands, which are an important store of carbon, particularly at high latitudes. We demonstrate a new implementation o

While social movement scholars have long recognized the importance of collective memory and shared pasts in the construction of collective identities, less attention has focused on the role of imagined futures. Based on a long-term ethnographic study of radical left-libertarian groups in Sweden, this paper explores the role of utopia in structuring, influencing, and evaluating actions and practice
