176 ➔177 Legal Information Legal Disputes Legal Disputes in which the Bank acts as a Plaintiff In 2003, a total of 10 important court proceedings were conducted by Komerční banka, which were launched in 2003 and in the previous years. The proceedings had or could have material implications for the Bank’s financial results. The total amount involved in the court proceedings is CZK 1.3 billion. Of these 10 court proceedings, seven are actions for payment and three are bankruptcy proceedings, and the total amount of court disputes is CZK 0.6 billion, and for bankruptcies CZK 0.7 billion. With respect to its overall financial situation, Komerční banka regards as material all disputes involving amounts exceeding CZK 10 million and all bankruptcy proceedings for amounts exceeding CZK 50 million. The reason for the higher threshold for bankruptcy proceedings is the fact that the average yield of bankruptcies in the practice of Komerční banka does not exceed 20 percent – the outcomes of bankruptcy proceedings usually have less significant implications on the Bank’s figures than legal disputes over similar amounts. Legal Disputes in which the Bank acts as a Defendant In 2003, the total amount of disputes in which the Bank acts as a defendant totalled CZK 21 billion; 21.4 percent of these disputes can be considered a potential risk for the Bank. Komerční banka, based on a detailed analysis of the risk inherent in court proceedings conducted against the Bank, created a reserve of CZK 527 million as at 31 December 2003.

Any such rights are used only in accordance with valid laws and international conventions, or under a relevant licence, as appropriate. Komerční banka also owns (has registered) nearly sixty trademarks entered (registered) in the public register of trademarks maintained by the Industrial Property Office of the Czech Republic, which pertain in particular to the Bank’s products. Komerční banka has also registered (applied for registration of) trademarks in the Slovak Republic. Expenses on research and development In 2003, Komerční banka spent a total of CZK 17,851 thousand (2002: CZK 7,503 thousand) on research and development, primarily including expenses on studies and projects such as studies of the centralisation and rationalisation of portfolio management.
