チェコビールのバドワイザーとアメリカビールのバドワイザーは, ブランドの正統性を争って世界各地で商標権裁判を展開しているが, このバドワイザー商標紛争は, 問題化してから百年を超える超長期の商標紛争である。これほど長期化した原因には, チェコが長らくオーストリア及びドイツの支配下でドイツ語の使用を強制され, 戦後解放されるや今度は社会主義化されて, 欧米市場を閑ざされていたという屈折した歴史的事情がある。ブランドの正統性が何れにあるかの判断は各国で分かれている。本稿は紛争の歴史的経緯を概観し, その争点を日本の裁判所の判決録によって明らかにし, さらに今後の解決可能性を展望するものである。 (英文) Budweiser of the Czech Republic and that of the U.S. are both fighting trademark disputes in countries all over the world. The long-running dispute has been going on over a hundred years; however, it is coming close to the last stage. The reason why it has lasted so long is the special historical conditions of the Czech Republic, which was once under the imperial control of Austria, Germany and forced to use the German language. Furthermore, after the war, the Czech Republic became a socialist republic. Judgments on brand priority are separately decided in each country. In this article, the author reviews the historical progress of this dispute, confirms the judgment of Japanese court concerning this case, and predicts the future outcome.

Werner Siemens (1816-92) not only built the greatest electric concern in Germany, he also concerned himself deeply with the enactment of the German Patent Law (1877). It is because he himself was an inventor-entrepreneur and recognized the significance of patents. He stated “the main reason of the rapid growth of our factories is that our products resulted mainly from our own inventions.” In his company, Siemens and Halske & Co., in 1873 an unprecedented controversy came about. That is, the upper engineer Hefner-Alteneck (1845-1904) who invented an epoch-making dynamo stated that he wanted to retire with the invention and set up his own company.At the time the whole German patent law had not been developed yet, and Prussian patent law was not complete, so the rights of employees concerning their inventions were not covered. How did Siemens cope with the situation? Siemens was opposed to Hefner's demand for his regisgnation because “even employeers' knowledge and skill is the property of the company, not to speak of employee-inventions.” However by only an old-fashioned patriarchic authoritarian approach he could not control his employees' loyality. In exchange for the concession of distributing profits, Siemens was able to prevent Hefner from starting his own business. After this trouble in Siemens & Co. every new employee had to sign the special agreement concerning employee inventions. This is an important case in history of business and technology because it was the earliest case of so-called employee-inventions.
