Dagmar Havlová to grant Václav Havel name licence to new entity

Dagmar Havlová, the widow of former Czech president, Václav Havel, plans to grant the license to use her husband’s name to a new entity. She will announce which entity it is on September 21.

Havlová made the announcement in a statement to the Czech News Agency , responding to the fact that the Václav Havel Library, which she helped establish, has been newly renamed the 1st Presidential Library, Endowment Fund.

The former first lady said she no longer has anything to do with this institution and would officially present the new project on September 21, at the unveiling of a Václav Havel Bench on Mariánské Square.

Through her Vision 97 Foundation, Havlová owns trademarks related to Havel's name.
