Online report (presentation) on the intellectual property protection in FC Dinamo (Moscow) Cooperation with FC Dinamo is attractive for any commercial organizations as this can make them associate with the legendary and beloved by millions of fans letter ‘D’, which in its turn can provide a unique opportunity of achieving new marketing aims when promoting their services and products. The club has already experience of beneficial long-standing cooperation with the organizations of different business orientations, and this cooperation will only develop in future because Russian clubs make only their first steps in this direction and foreign experience is a proof thereto. *** Modern football clubs experience certain hardships with the financial break-even. Even European top class clubs despite the colossal incomes from the commercial Football Club ‘ Dinamo’ Moscow is one of the oldest, award-winning and famous activities spend more clubs of Russia. The legendary monogram letter ‘D’, inscribed into a rhomb is an that they earn, mostly emblem of the club and well-known not only in Russia, but also in the whole because of the huge world. Moscow Dinamo has a long and honorary history which gave a lot of bright salaries of footballers. victories, unforgettable emotions and pride for white-blue colours. Dinamo is the Taking into account first champion of the country, the first author of the Double (championship and the financial fair-play the cup winner of the country in one season), the first European cup Russian requirements of UEFA finalist, participant of the famous 1945 tour across UK, where the Dinamo any additional income footballers appeared to be stronger than the English who were considered to be is essential for the unbeatable… clubs, a fortiori that the sources of income are used more or less efficiently. In Russia the market for intellectual property is scarcely developed and clubs make only the first steps which means large opportunities. In particular in Europe television rights are now one of the main sources of income, but in Russia it is not like this yet.
F OOTBALL C LUB ‘D OMZALE ’ (S LOVENIA ) M ATEJ O RAZEM ,
SPORT DIRECTOR
In his report the sport director of the football club Domzale pointed out the importance of the intellectual property protection. The Domzale Football Club protects its own trademark on the territory of Slovenia (and correspondingly automatically on the territory of EU). Mr. Orazem stressed that nowadays Slovenian football clubs make joint efforts in the legal dispute with a bookmaker office. The reason for the dispute is the violation of rights for trademarks by the bookmaker office.
Football Club ‘Domzale’ was founded in 1921 and is one of the oldest football clubs in Slovenia. ‘Domzale’ won the championship of Slovenia twice and once - the Cup of the Country and Supercup. Famous players who played for the Club: Branko Ilič, Samir Handanovič, Sebastjan Cimirotič.
T HE N ATIONAL P ROJ ECTS F OUNDA TION M IKAEL D ASHIAN The representative of the National Projects Foundation noted in his speech that intellectual property protection in sports should be seen strictly in aspects of financial fair play requirements of UEFA. A number of examples of intellectual property protection made by famous football clubs were mentioned. As basic models were chosen those of Chelsea, Juventus and Real Madrid. The football club Boca Juniors (Argentina) was picked up as an example of an optimal attitude towards the intellectual property protection.
FOOTBALL CLUB ‘BOCA JUNIORS’ (A RGENTINA ) M AXIMO R ECA ,
DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING A ND COMMERCE
In his interactive report the representative of the famous football club pointed out that in Argentina they register 100% of the brands. Internationally the club follows this policy: they register trademarks only in those states where it is reasonable (is of commercial value). ‘We are aware of Boca's worldwide popularity and the potential international businesses. Up to the date we have current developments in USA, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Peru, etc. apart from the countries where Nike sells Boca Juniors shirts. We also had a few years ago a Boca Juniors Bar and, for example, in March we are inaugurating our own hotel. We take initiative to register trademarks under two scenarios. - Every new country in which Nike sells our gear. - When we go on tour to new countries, for example last year in Australia. It's always an analysis between pros and cons because registering has its costs’. *** I think it's very interesting to be advised especially on international protection which is not an easy matter. It is very difficult to determine which actions are worth it analyzing pros and cons. (in reply to the question on the outlook of the programme for protection of Intellectual property in sports presented by the National Projects Foundation).
Club Atlético Boca Juniors is one of the strongest and the most popular Argentinian football clubs from Buenos Aires. Boca won 18 world tournaments and is the holder of the world record at this rate alongside the Milan Football club. Boca holds the 12th place in the FIFA List of the best club of the XX century. The club is also listed in the top twenty of the best football clubs in the world according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics. . Such great masters as Diego Maradona, Claudio Paul Caniggia, , Gabriel Omar Batistuta, Juan Román Riquelme. Carlos Alberto Tévez played for Boca.

RETROSPECT OF THE DIRECTOR
Happiness is a flash, but not a long-lasting blessed condition. It is given in hands to those only who love. Love is the sun which shines inside of you. And when you are illuminated with it, the world moves towards you. For a long time I have wanted to film a movie where there will be lots of music and love. 23.09 (M ARIBOR ) – A NOTHER S ENSE 24.09 (Л ЕНДАВА ) – S TRANGERS 25.09 (L ENDAVA ) – A NOTHER S ENSE
