Regarding the international measurement, we should not forget the TRIPS Agreement, where Art. 40 regulates the control of anti-competition practice in licences, while this regulation lingers on the edge of the public and private level of protection of economic competition. See also Švidroň, supra note 15, at 476.
This type of sanction can be found in the Advertising Act — Sec. 11. Concerning this issue see also Ovečková, “Commentary on the Commercial Code” 104 (2005).
