Globalisation has mostly brought the world closer but it has also given rise to many illegal cells operating more smoothly than ever before. One such cell is that of fashion counterfeiting or fake fashion goods. In the last year only, there was a staggering 15% increase in the sales of counterfeit goods online. The shoes and apparel counterfeit alone is an estimated $24'000 million industry today.

Car Accident Injury Do I Have a Case....Knowyourright
Every year, thousands of Minnesotans are injured in car accidents. These injuries can be severe – even life-changing. Under Minnesota law, you can pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

The world of Intellectual Property (IP) moves fast. Blink and you’ll miss updates on
major trade mark new stories from around the world.
Here are 5 major trade mark updates on LinkedIn you may not have seen.
1. UKIPO shows different views on Brexit preparedness as IP minister
quits – World Trademark Review on LinkedIn
The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) releases two major reports. The
Innovation and Growth Report focuses on how innovative strategies are affecting the
work of the IPO. The second, IP Crime and Enforcement Report concentrates on
emerging threats from overseas and in the UK.
And when it comes to Brexit, the reports offer different findings about how prepared
the Office is to handle IP matters in a no-deal scenario. While confidence appears
high in the Innovation and Growth report that the UKIPO is legislatively ready for the
UK’s exit in terms of preparing systems to support trade marks, the second report
cites UK design legislation as lacking when compared with the EU equivalent.
2. World Trademark Review (WTR) also points out that the second report says it is
concerned regarding reciprocal design protection from the EU. On page 26, it says:
“Post-Brexit, designs first disclosed in the UK, while they may well be sufficiently
protected here, may not be entitled to sufficient protection in the EU.”
The introduction to both reports was written by the then IP minister, Jo Johnson.
Brother to the current Prime Minister, Jo Johnson has now resigned as a
Conservative MP as well as all his ministerial positions, including Minister for IP, and
has been replaced by his predecessor to the position, Chris Skidmore.
These two reports show the difference in viewpoints within the IP sector regarding
the potential consequences of the UK leaving the EU with a no-deal Brexit. WTR
says: “For the trade mark community, the wait continues for all outstanding issues to
be addressed. But when it comes to Brexit, that is very much the status quo all
around.”

2. KFC trade mark dragged into UK politics – World Trademark Review on
LinkedIn
The KFC brand has become part of the UK Conservatives campaign against Jeremy
Corbyn, leader of the opposition. On 6 September 2019, the official Twitter account
for the Conservatives Tweeted directly at KFC UK & Ireland’s account. The message
was that the Conservative party has “found an even bigger chicken than you.”
The Tweet included a picture of Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour party, dressed
as a chicken with a directly copied but altered KFC logo. The logo says: “JFC-
Totally Spineless Chicken”.
While the stunt has been broadly condemned by most of the media, and even some
of the Conservative party, KFC UK & Ireland responded in kind. The brand Tweeted
a response: “This is KFC not LBC don’t @ me.” LBC refers to the UK radio station
known for its political punditry.
The brand may not mind being dragged into political campaigns, but WTR points out
that brands and trade marks should be careful when allowing themselves to be
politicised.
3. 3. Obamas apply to cancel e-book trade mark – The Trademark Lawyer
Magazine on LinkedIn
Back in April 2019, the former President Barack Obama and former First Lady
Michelle Obama were rejected when they applied to trade mark the name of their
company. The name of the Obamas’ company, Higher Ground Productions, was
rejected because it was deemed “almost identical” to ‘Higher Ground Enterprises’,
which is a California-based e-book publisher.
The Obamas are now applying to cancel the trade mark granted to the publisher.
Their grounds are “lack of use.”, and they are looking to clear the way for their
company to create a range of documentaries and TV programmes for Netflix.
4. Guns N’ Roses V Guns N’ Rosé trade mark action settled – The
Trademark Lawyer Magazine on LinkedIn
Rock giants Guns N’ Roses have settled the trade mark lawsuit they brought against
a brewery called Oskar Blues. The brewery sells a beer named Guns ‘N Rosé. The
band filed the lawsuit at a federal level in May 2019.
Oskar Blues had tried initially to trade mark the beer’s name but gave up the attempt
in 2018 when the rock band objected. However, the brewery went on selling the beer
4. and associated merchandise anyway. The brewery, which is owned by the Canarchy
Group, says that the beer does not infringe on the rock band’s trade marks and that
Guns N’ Roses do not “… own a trade mark registration for Guns N’ Roses for beer
or any alcohol beverages”.
Both parties have now agreed to settle out of court, although the terms of the deal
are confidential.

5. Ariana Grande sues Forever 21 in trade mark dispute – World IP Review
on LinkedIn
Pop singer Ariana Grande is alleging trade mark infringement, copyright infringement
and violation of privacy in her law suits against US fashion brand Forever 21.
Grande alleges in the lawsuit that, following her decision to not be part of Forever
21’s high-profile ad campaign, the clothing company simply used a model that looks
“strikingly similar” to her. She further alleges that Forever 21 used photos of Grande
on social media taken from her videos, and that the fashion brand used audio from
her songs.
The lawsuit says that Forever 21’s intention is clear, that is to make it appear that
Ariana Grande is promoting their products. Due to Grande’s level of fame, an
Instagram plug by her is worth, according to her legal team, “well into the six figures.”
