The purpose of this article is to present specific problems related to the violation of intellectual property in the field of visual communication and an attempt to identify more effective ways to protect it. Legal protection works in the area of visual communication do not guarantee respect for intellectual property. Jurisprudence encounters problems at the core of which is the discretionary nature of the assessment of the originality of artistic works. The article presents case studies that illustrate this state very clearly. Many artists do not enter a legal challenge in the case of plagiarism of their projects because of the uncertain effect of the procedure and troublesome and sometimes even expensive process. In case of violation of someone else’s intellectual property rights in respect of the works belonging to the area of visual communication the attitude of the designer is essential. Very important are also circumstances in which there is a breach of intellectual property. The analysis of these circumstances can be a starting point to searching for effective ways to prevent the infringement of intellectual property, with particular emphasis on the indication of the illusory benefits of this practice, obtained in such a specific field as visual communication. Possible courses of action in order to reduce the practice of intellectual property violations were proposed. The analysis of these measures is based on the concept of searching for the maximum benefit that can be achieved in co-operation of the designer with the customer. The analyses of individual situations lead to a conclusion that the designer has a maximum benefit when he fully realizes the original design, created as a result of a reasonably long and conducted with due diligence and thoroughness of the design process. Accordingly, strong emotional involvement in the project also creates a unique opportunity for artistic effect. Such a project, entitles the creator to a sufficiently high salary and provides him with an opportunity to promote and achieve further attractive orders. The customer has a maximum benefit in a situation when he receives a unique design, valuable in terms of art, that gives rise to the effective marketing activities. In the high-potential project the opportunities of reimbursement for the costs should be sought. The sphere of visual communication enters a period of formation of the patterns of behavior, including ethical ones. In an era of increasing competition not only the talent and artistic competence of the designer begins to count, but also the model of design process preferred by him and an opinion about him in the environment. It is also the place to assess the ethical behavior of designers and include it into the evaluation process of their selection by the customer. The attitude of the designer is of vital importance to the avoidance of a violation of intellectual property of somebody else. Equally important is the correct relationship between

The interest for food quality is one result of the changes in consumption practices and of the food crisis that generated customers’ distrust. The latter became more and more interested not only in the food’s properties, but also in the conditions of its production (hygienic security, fairly paid labor and proper work conditions) and distribution (product’s origin, traceability control). In this context, the attention has moved to food production and distribution and to economic practices, focusing on the economic and social dimension of the food system. In this article, I have analyzed how food quality is built, both culturally (through signs such as authenticity, hygiene and ecology) and politically (through official labels such as protected designation of origin - PDO, protected geographical indication - PGI). I also analyze how Voineşti apples achieved commercial notoriety as an example of the food products known in the Francophone literature as ‘terroir’ products, in order to highlight specific practices of quality performing and different types of quality discourses related to them. I touch upon the economy of quality, the quality standards, signs and marks, the European and Romanian legislation regarding local products, the process of quality certification and the local products as quality products.

Internet jest obecnie nieodzowną częścią życia zarówno społecznego, jak i gospodarczego całego świata. Jako stosunkowo nowe miejsce aktywności przedsiębiorców stanowić może jednak miejsce różnego rodzaju nadużyć prawnych. Występuje w nim także coraz więcej nowych, specyficznych przejawów nieuczciwej konkurencji. Zasadniczym problemem, z którym spotyka się przeciwdziałanie owym praktykom jest fakt, że w stosunku do nieuczciwego obrotu w Internecie nie istnieją żadne odrębne regulacje prawne. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie przykładowych, charakterystycznych dla środowiska Internetu praktyk, które zakwalifikować można jako czyny nieuczciwej konkurencji oraz sposobów ich prawnej interpretacji. Analizie poddana zostanie problematyka zetknięcia norm prawa zwalczania nieuczciwej konkurencji z nowymi metodami jej prowadzenia – głównym zaś celem jest ocena czy obowiązujące normy prawne stanowią wystarczające ramy prawne ochrony przed tego rodzaju nieuczciwymi zachowaniami.

The Internet is now an indispensable part of both social and economic life around the world. As a relatively new place of entrepreneurial activity, the Internet may also be the place for various types of law infringements. The Internet experiences also an increasing number of new, specific forms of unfair competition practices. The fundamental problem facing those trying to prevent such practices, is the fact that there are no separate regulations on unfair online trading. This article aims to provide examples of practices typical for the Internet environment, which can be qualified as acts of unfair competition, as well as ways of their legal interpretation. The analysis focuses on the intersection between unfair competition rules and the new forms taken by such practices. The article’s main objective is to assess whether existing legislation provides an adequate legal framework for the protection against unfair competition practices on the Internet.

The article assesses the compatibility of the new Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) with the Polish Constitution. It concludes that although the Polish Constitutional Tribunal remains in principle competent to review acts of EU law (including directives if certain conditions are met), the scope of such a review is very limited and consists only of assessing whether EU institutions acted within scope of the competences transferred to them. The same holds true for domestic measures which merely implement directives. As a consequence, any review of the TPD provisions will be very restricted and can hardly lead to their inapplicability on the Polish territory. The article also assesses the compatibility with the Polish Constitution of the plain packaging requirement, which is not provided for, but only suggested by the TPD. In this context, it concludes that the Tribunal will be fully competent to review any national measure that introduces such a restriction. Although the outcome of such a review cannot be predicted with certainty, the article posits that there are good grounds to believe that the plain packaging requirement will be considered constitutional (i.e. in particular with respect to those provisions of the Constitution which protect property and freedom of economic activity).
