A trademark is your go to tool for protecting your brand. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/registered-company-name-is-not-a-replacement-for-the-trademark https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/registered-company-name-is-not-a-replacement-for-the-trademark Sat, 10 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 I have encountered this several times recently. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/advanced-electronic-signatures-aes-under-the-microscope-a-cryptography https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/advanced-electronic-signatures-aes-under-the-microscope-a-cryptography Sat, 03 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 I have described what are advanced electronic signatures (AES) in my previous post. But what to imagine under all that legal jibber jabber? https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/advanced-electronic-signatures-aes-under-the-microscope-certificates https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/advanced-electronic-signatures-aes-under-the-microscope-certificates Sat, 03 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 How is the authenticity of the signatory ensured in Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES)? https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/nft-and-electronic-signatures-new-application-of-otherwise-useless-tech https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/nft-and-electronic-signatures-new-application-of-otherwise-useless-tech Sat, 03 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 NFT as an alternative to qualified certificates. Finally a meaningful use of non-fungible token technology? https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/not-all-advanced-electronic-signatures-aes-are-made-equal https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/not-all-advanced-electronic-signatures-aes-are-made-equal Sat, 03 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 In previous posts, I described what is an e-signature according to the eIDAS and what are the types generally recognised as such (\"simple\", AES, QES), how AES work from a tech point of view (asymmetric cryptography) and how the identity of the signatory is guaranteed in AES (certificates). https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/qualified-electronic-signature-creation-device-qes-cd-a-little-bugger https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/qualified-electronic-signature-creation-device-qes-cd-a-little-bugger Sat, 03 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 If I shall put the two AES based on a qualified certificate, in fact exactly the same e-signatures, in front of you and were to tell you about one of them that it was created by a QES-CD, which one would be better for you, huh? https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/electronic-signatures-101-boring-definitions-and-confusing-categories https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/electronic-signatures-101-boring-definitions-and-confusing-categories Thu, 14 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000 What are electronic signatures? Let's align ourselves on all those boring definitions and confusing categories. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/redefining-creativity-from-an-idea-to-representation-and-back https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/redefining-creativity-from-an-idea-to-representation-and-back Mon, 13 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Last couple of weeks have been filled with variety of information, news and anecdotes related to artificial intelligence and in particular, to its last incarnation – chatGPT. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/role-of-trademarks-in-brand-protection https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/role-of-trademarks-in-brand-protection Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Together with the product or service and the sales vector, the brand represents the heart of a successful business. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/scope-of-trademark-protection https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/scope-of-trademark-protection Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Together with the product or service and the sales vector, the brand represents the heart of a successful business. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/trademarks-in-relation-to-domains https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/trademarks-in-relation-to-domains Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Together with the product or service and the sales vector, the brand represents the heart of a successful business. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-are-the-fees-and-how-much-money-do-domain-disputes-cost https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-are-the-fees-and-how-much-money-do-domain-disputes-cost Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The total cost of domain name disputes usually consists of two components: https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-governs-domain-disputes-and-where-to-demand-the-transfer-of-a-domain-name https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-governs-domain-disputes-and-where-to-demand-the-transfer-of-a-domain-name Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Depending on the type of domain name, in the event of a domain dispute, the given ADR rules (usually specified in the registration agreement) will apply. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-is-a-domain-name-and-how-is-it-protected https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-is-a-domain-name-and-how-is-it-protected Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Surely everyone has at least a vague idea of what a domain name is and what it is used for. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-to-do-if-the-domain-name-is-already-occupied https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/what-to-do-if-the-domain-name-is-already-occupied Mon, 06 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 In practice, it very often happens that the domain name we want to register is no longer available because it has been registered by a third party. https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/artificial-intelligence-and-the-future-of-the-legal-profession https://www.pelcman.com/en/blog/artificial-intelligence-and-the-future-of-the-legal-profession Wed, 01 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000 In recent weeks, the topic of artificial intelligence has experienced a huge amount of interest.
