Company name as legal phenomenon

Čeprav obsega drugo poglavje Zakona o gospodarskih družbah, ki nosi naslov FIRMA, le šestnajst členov, se pokaže kompleksnost pravnoteoretične materije šele s podrobnim proučevanjem tako zakonskih določil, teoretičnih del kot tudi prakse sodišč. Poudarek dela je na teoriji načel, ki prežemajo duh pozitivne regulative, ter stopijo kot korektorji, kadar se izkaže zakonsko besedilo kot nezadostno. Fascinantna je pravna narava firme in njeno razmerje s podjetjem. Navidezno nezanimivo naštevanje dovoljenih, prepovedanih in pogojno dovoljenih sestavin se spremeni v zanimiv pravni rebus, znotraj katerega se skuša najti ravnotežje med javnim in privatnim interesom, med gospodarskim učinkom in varovanjem tretjih v pravnem prometu. Pomembnost firme se kaže tudi v možnosti registracije zgolj nameravane firme. Na koncu se pregledno sprehodimo po raznoterih oblikah pravnega varovanja firme, ki nakazuje, na katera področja sega njen vpliv. Ob naštetem lahko potrdimo tezo diplomskega dela, da firma je pravni fenomen.SUMMARY Altough the second chapter of the Corporative Law (ZGD-1) named Company name has only sixteen articles, a detailed study of its pharagraphs, theoretical studies and precedenses shows us just how complex the theoretical matter at hand actually is. The emphasis of the work is set on the theory of principles that are guiding the written rules and when they fail to give the sufficient solution, they step in too fill the gaps. The lawful nature of the company name is fascinating – especially concerning the relationship between company name and company. Dull at the first glance, the list of allowed, prohibited and conditionally allowed elements of firm turns into an interesting legal game of finding the balance between public and private interest on one hand and profit and protection of the third party on the other. The importance of the firm is shown in the posibility of registering an only planned company name, not yet founded firm. At the end of this work we take a tour trough a variety of aspects of the legal protection of the company name, wich shows how significant and influential it actually is. All things considered, we can confirm the thesis of the final workthe company name is indeed a legal phenomenon
