Medzigeneračný pohľad na vývoj práva duševného vlastníctva v slovensko-českej vedeckej spolupráci

The article briefly summarizes history of the development of the Intellectual property law within the mutual Slovak and Czech scientific cooperation, especially focusing on the period of transformation after the year 1989. Slovak legal science had stepped into this process since the 1990 fully ready and had properly reflected new European and global challenges of that time (EU, Council of Europe, WIPO, WTO etc.). The author of this article, who was at that time actively involved into this process (by his scientific, pedagogical activities as well as within the framework of active international cooperation), nevertheless after more than twenty years he claims not only positive, but also some negative results of this process. He stresses their importance and offers them as a new challenge especially to the new generation of legal scientists in this field.
