Protection of the olympic symbol

Jozo Čizmić

Abstract

The Olympic movement uses several insignias and symbols. Olympic symbols are increasingly becoming the subject of marketing and commercial market interest This occurs most often in such a way that they are used in contradiction to the provisions of the Olympic Code, the Nairobi Agreement on the Protection of Olympic Symbols and other international and national regulations by which Olympic symbols are protected and which regulate the events tied to the holding of the Olympic Games. It is because of this that all Olympic symbols enjoy a certain level of civil, criminal and administrative legal protection.
In this paper, the author, after defining certain types of Olympic symbols, presents some means of protecting Olympic symbols in international and Croatian law.

Keywords
