The Asian region has experienced the emergence of new MDBs over last few years. For many years, the Asian Development Bank was the only development bank in the region and has been dominated by the Japanese owing to the number of votes it has as compared to other members.

British humour is considered superior to American humour. Some key differences are that British humour can be cruel, childish, and focus more on smutty innuendo. It also frequently mocks the English establishment and foreigners through sarcasm and racism. Physical comedy acts like Mr. Bean and Charlie Chaplin are examples of visual humour, while satire makes fun of famous people. Black humour deals with topics like death. Puns and parody are other forms of wit. American remakes of British comedies often fail to capture the same effect.

Narendra modi’s visit to japan (Akshay Sikarwar)Akshay Sikarwar
Prime Minister Modi's visit to Japan aimed to strengthen economic and strategic ties between the two countries. Japan committed to investing over $33 billion in India over five years, doubling its FDI, and supporting India's plans to introduce high-speed bullet trains. The countries agreed to strengthen defense cooperation and establish a special team to facilitate Japanese investment in India. However, a civil nuclear deal remained unreached due to disagreements over safety and security protocols.
It is noteworthy that currently, coal-based power projects are under threat due to lack of coal linkages and power purchase agreements, thus stalling many existing power projects and discouraging many companies from expanding to new coal power projects. This would give a boost to hydropower projects in many regions, especially in the Himalayan regions.

Mr. Chander Sawhney, Partner & Head – Valuation & Deals, Corporate Professionals shared his thoughts as a guest Speaker on M&A Valuation and challenges at a Business Valuation Masterclass organised by VC Circle on 31st August, 2016. Corporate Professionals acted as the event supporting partner.
• In case of a merger valuation, the emphasis is on arriving at the relative values of the shares of the merging companies to facilitate determination of the swap ratio, hence, the purpose is not to arrive at absolute values of the shares of the companies. The key issue to be addressed is that of fairness to all shareholders. There are established legal precedence for merger valuation methodologies:
• Valuer’s role is to incorporate case specific factors and use appropriate methodologies so as to determine a fair ratio
• Usually, best to give weight ages to valuation by all methods
• Market price method and Earnings methods dominate.
• It is observed that in case of M&A, the Valuations depart from the concept of “Fair Value” as elements like Distress Sale, Desperate Buy, Comparable Transaction Multiples come into play reflecting Price than Value.

Mr. Chander Sawhney, Partner & Head – Valuation & Deals, Corporate Professionals shared his thoughts as a guest Speaker on Relative Valuation - Techniques & Application at a Business Valuation Masterclass organised by VC Circle on 31st August, 2016.
Relative Valuation in which value of an asset or liability is done by comparing it to its Peers is pervasive and preferred for ascertaining Fair Value at a point of time as it reflects the market positioning of the Industry and Peers at that time. While Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method is applied for arriving at Fundamental Valuation, most M&A transaction are based on Relative Valuation multiples (mostly Earnings based). The valuation ratio typically expresses the valuation as a function of a measure of Key Financial Metrics like PE, EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales or Book Value Multiple.
But before using a multiple, one should know the fundamentals determining the multiple and how changes impact it. Sanity check through use of fundamental valuation method like DCF is strongly recommended.

The new SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 were notified on January 15, 2015 to tighten regulations around insider trading. Key aspects of the new regulations include expanded definitions of "insider" and "connected persons", prohibitions on trading based on unpublished price sensitive information, increased responsibilities for compliance officers, requirements for initial and continual shareholding disclosures, and penalties for non-compliance. The regulations aim to align India's insider trading framework with global standards and plug existing loopholes.
The 2015 budget had long list of expectations. On one hand; the Government has addressed major issues surrounding the foreign investors which would certainly boost capital market inflows and revive the private equity industry (by deferring GAAR by 2 years and clarifying Permanent Establishment & Indirect Transfer of Assets). On other hand; it has just rationalized the subsidies. Probably as we see growth coming in and more job creation; subsidy burden can be better dealt with by the Government. Though there are no direct benefits for the middle class. However incentives have been introduced to encourage savings. These savings are expected to fuel the infrastructure and other investment plans laid out by the Government. Certainly Foreign investors have a reason to cheer for this Pro Business; Pro Growth Government budget.

3. Indo-Japan Trade & Investment Highlights
India to Collaborate with Japan on RRE Trade
India is soon going to sign an agreement with the Japanese government
which is expected to make the Indo-Japanese relationship even stronger.
This agreement which is hoped to kick-start the development of Rare
Earth Elements (RRE) in India will be signed in November.
RREs are a set of 17 chemical elements which are typically dispersed throughout the earth but
are not found readily as minerals. These are almost indispensable for producing products like
LCDs, aerospace components, microwaves, energy efficient light bulbs and medical equipment.
India, having one of the richest RRE reserves in the World, could not utilize its potential of RRE
production to the fullest because in 2004, China started producing RRE at lower prices compared
to India. With China and Japan facing serious issues over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands, China’s
exports of RRE, especially to Japan have come down drastically affecting the Japanese hi-tech
manufacturing industry.
Supplementing India’s earlier decision to set up a REE extraction plant in Odisha, Indian Rare
Earths Limited and Toyota Tsusho from Japan have decided to set up a 12,000 tonne monazite
processing plant. Japan, the largest importer of rare earths has also decided to plough $1.3 billion
in India to fund alternate sources for RRE.
The Indian Government Optimistic about Japan Lifting its Ban on
Import of Shrimps from India
The Union Government is hopeful that Japan will lift its ban on importing
shrimps from India which the country had imposed a couple of months ago
due to presence of high levels of an anti-oxidant called ethoxyquin.
However, officials of Export Inspection Council of India (EICI) and Marine Products Export
Development Authority (MPEDA) have interacted with the health authorities and food safety
commission of Japan and have requested for taking back the decision. It was told by the officials
that Japan has no Maximum Residue Limit prescribed for shrimps and hence the decision is
based on faulty grounds.
4. It is surprising that India which has been exporting shrimps to a lot of countries worldwide since
past few decades faced such a problem now; especially when the country has used the same
methods for feeding and raising shrimps. It is hoped that this trade barrier will be overcome at
the earliest and will relieve almost 50,000 people in Odisha who are directly or indirectly
involved in this business.
The Indo-Japanese Trade Might Get Doubled by 2014
The bilateral trade between the countries might double to almost USD 25 billion by 2014. It has
been hoped that this will easily be achieved because there is huge scope of expansion in the
current state of the Indo-Japanese trade. Where India exports mainly mineral fuels and oils,
pearls, precious and semi precious stones, iron, steel and fish to Japan; it imports from the
country machinery appliances, medical and surgical equipments and articles made from iron and
steel.
India and Japan to Collaborate on Study on LNG Pricing
The Indian and Japanese Governments decided to start a joint
study on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pricing in the Asia Pacific
market at the Sixth India-Japan Energy Dialogue between the
Planning Commission of India and the Japanese Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry.
The countries are going to collaborate on both the production and
the exploration activities to ensure a stable and cheaper supply of LNG. Apart from this, the
governments have also started a feasibility study of a project that aims to combine 2 power
generation technologies from coal.
The two countries also emphasized the importance of cooperation in the civil nuclear sector and
in enhancing the safety there in. India and Japan hope to consistently improve their relationship
based on similar collaborations. India will also be taking up the test run of Japanese projects
which have been aimed at improving and utilizing efficiently the basic energy resources of the
country like coal and water.
The Pune Metro Project to be Funded by the Japanese Government
India has received Overseas Development Assistance from Japan for various metro projects
undertaken in the country including those in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Now the
5. Pune metro project which was set in motion through a Government last month is likely to get
financial support from the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA).
The mass transit project which has been estimated to cost around Rs. 2600 Crores (approx. $500
millions) will be collectively funded by the Central and the State Government, the Pune
Municipal Corporation and JICA. The construction of one of the few routes of the project is
targeted to be completed in the next 3 years.
JICA Honour for DMRC for Contribution to Indo-Japan Relations
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has been awarded the

9. Knowledge Center
Issue In Focus: Intellectual Property Rights
ASSIGNMENT & LICENSING OF TRADEMARKS IN INDIA
Just as in the case of physical property such as land, every owner of a Brand or Trademark has
the right to sell, license, and transfer its respective brand or trademark in accordance with legal
procedures. A Brand or Trademark owner can transfer his rights with respect to his trademark
either by way of assignment or by licensing. In India, The Trade Marks Act, 1999 deals with
assignment as well licensing of trademarks.
To put it summarily, in case of an assignment of a trademark, there is a change in the ownership
of the registered brand and in case of licensing, the right in the trade mark continues to vest with
the original owner but only few restricted rights to use the brand/mark are given to the third
party.
ASSIGNMENT OF A TRADEMARK
Assignment of a trademark occurs when the ownership of such mark as such, is transferred from
one party to another whether along with or without the goodwill of the business. In case of a
registered Trademark, such assignment is required to be recorded in the Register of trade marks.
A mark may be assigned or transferred to another entity in any of the following manners:
10. • Complete Assignment to another entity- The owner transfers all its rights with respect to a
mark to another entity, including the transfer of the rights such as right to further transfer, to
earn royalties, etc. (E.g. X, the proprietor of a brand, sells his mark completely through an
agreement to Y. After this X does not retain any rights with respect to the brand)
• Assignment to another entity but with respect to only some of the goods/ services- The
transfer of ownership is restricted to specific products or services only. (E.g. P, the proprietor
of a brand used for jams and jellies and dairy products. P assigns the rights in the brand with
respect to only dairy products to Q and retains the rights in the brand with respect to jams and
jellies.) This is called partial assignment.
• Assignment with goodwill- Such assignment is where the rights and value of a trademark as
associated with the product is also transferred to another entity. (E.g. P, the proprietor of a
brand “Shudh” relating to dairy products, sells his brand to Q such that Q will be able to use
the brand “Shudh” with respect to dairy products as well as any other products it
manufactures.)
• Assignment without goodwill- Such assignment also referred to as gross assignment, is
where the owner of the brand restricts the right of the buyer and does not allow him to use
such brand for the products being used by the original owner. Thus, the goodwill attached to
such brand with respect to the product already being sold under such brand, is not transferred
to the buyer. (E.g. P, the proprietor of a brand “Shudh” relating to dairy products, sells his
brand to Q such that Q will not be able to use the mark “Shudh” with respect to dairy
products but can use this brand for any other products being manufactured by it. In such case
the goodwill which is associated with brand “Shudh” for dairy products is not transferred to
Q and Q will be required to create distinct goodwill of brand “Shudh” for any other product
or service like Restaurant wherein Q proposes to use this brand.). In many jurisdictions
including United States, assignment of mark without goodwill is not allowed at all. India on
the other hand allows assignment without goodwill.
11. Further, in case of registered Trademarks, the Trade Mark Act, 1999 also puts certain restrictions
on the assignment of a registered trade mark wherein there exist possibilities of creating
confusion in the mind of public/users. Such restrictions are:
• Restriction on assignment that results in the creation of exclusive rights in more than one
persons with respect to the same goods or services, or for same description of goods or
services or such goods or services as associated with each other.
• Restriction on assignment that results in different people using the trademark in different
parts of the country simultaneously.
TRADEMARK LICENSING
The licensing of a mark is to allow others to use the mark without assigning the ownership and
the same may be done for all or some of the goods and services covered. The Trademarks Act
does not mention the term ‘License’, the concept under the Act is mentioned as that of a
‘Registered User’.
Trademark licensing is advantageous to both the parties. While the licensor enjoys its rights to
the mark by getting the royalties for its use, the licensee is able to expand its market operations
by using the brand and developing its reputation.
In case of Licensing, the licensor is open to license the rights over the trademark in manner it
may like. The Licensor can restrict the rights of the licensee in a trademark or brand with respect
to the products or services wherein the licensee can use such brand, with respect to time for
which it can use such mark, with respect to area within which it can use such mark etc.
AGREEMENTS FOR TRANSMISSION
A trade mark is generally assigned by way of a properly executed Trademark Assignment
Agreement which pertains to the transfer of the mark from one person or entity who is the owner
to another. It is to be ensured when drafting such agreement that:
the rights of the owner of the brand are not detrimentally affected due to the obligations
contained.
the requirement and decision regarding whether the assignment should be with or without the
goodwill of the business is explicitly mentioned and negotiated
12. the agreement should be drafted keeping in mind the purpose of the transaction in question
A mark is licensed by way of a License Agreement. As per the Trade Mark Act, 1999, contrary
to the requirement in case of Assignment, the registration of license agreement with the
Trademark Registrar of a mark is voluntary and not compulsory, but it is advisable. Further, like
in an Assignment agreement, it is again very important that while drafting a License Agreement,
the rights and duties of licensee are distinctively pre determined and defined. This is important
not only to protect the rights of the Licensor in its own brand and to protect any misuse thereof,
but also to secure licensee with his rights to use such brand.
TO SUM UP…
Assignment and Licensing of brands are considerable issues and proper strategizing may open
vistas of opportunities for all, a licensor, a licensee, an assignor and an assignee. Both concepts
involve a degree of planning for the future of the parties involved and the brand in question. The
development of a brand, its propagation and its use, all lie in the hands of the proprietor of the
brand and trademark and assignment and licensing are effective methods to manage the same.
