Sanjay Dutt is again making news. This time it seems that he is certainly innocent. I have strong reasons to believe: 1) It was an ex-parte Arbitration Award and seems like Sanjay Dutt either ignored the proceedings or was not aware of it. The sum of Rs. 2.03 crore is very small for this Actor. 2) The order

My Baker’s Dozen Suggested Testifying Pluses and Minuses for Answers during Expert Witness Testimony
Posted by admin on December 31st, 2010
These pluses and minuses have to do with both your content and the delivery of your content during your responses to questioning under oath:Pluses:* Bringing your ethics with you to a trial. This includes maintaining objectivity and presenting facts fairly.* Delivering your answers in simple English, even when the questioning lawyer asks you questions using acronyms or industry terms.* Answering questions honestly, even if those answers do not help your side of the case.* Maintaining an air of calmness and composure at all times, when you answer a question, when you listen to a question, and even when a cross examining attorney demonstrates occasional rudeness in a question.* Recognizing the limits of your own expertise, and only answering questions within that scope of experience. Do not permit an attorney to cajole you into stretching what you know and commenting casually on something beyond your experience.* Answering politely and briefly, even when the cross examining attorney uses body language or voice control to encourage you to expound further. Minuses:* Losing your composure under harsh questioning. You will maintain your professional credibility with the jury if you respond to all questions – simple or complicated, casual or rude – with both calmness and composure.* Speaking in technical terms to the jury. They will either become bored or not understand your work. You have to speak in plain English, and you have to interpret your work in plain English for them.* Acting superior or arrogant because of your experience or position in life.* Arguing or using sarcasm with the cross examining lawyer.* Exaggerating wonderful points for your side. You can, however, clarify or emphasize the strength or weakness of points of fact. Exaggeration undermines believability.* Answering questions that force you to reach beyond your professional comfort zone. Guesswork falls into this category. Do not ever guess during testimony. You are there for expert expertise. Nobody expects you to know everything, so if you do not know something, even about your specialty, just accept it. * Taking a case that is outside your field of expertise.
A Prologue to Mechanical Patents
Posted by admin on December 31st, 2010
Mechanical engineering perhaps has the oldest known inventions and patents. In fact, the word ‘engineering’ is derived from a mechanical component. Mechanical engineering is a field that was conceived from natural laws of physics, where one engineers or manipulates these laws to his/her advantage. Mechanical patents non exhaustively and generally encompass utility tools invented constituting force, motion, mass, etc. It specifically encompasses all mechanical devices, contraption and interactions resulting in utilitarian instruments and apparatus, and where such interactions produce a action-reaction component that depends on the mechanism and nature of interaction. Further, all manufacturing processes, for example, metal working and treatment, printing, textile manufacturing, etc, are regarded under mechanical patents. Automobiles fall under mechanical patenting category, although one cannot be sure where a ‘time travel machine’, if invented, will be categorized. Of course, most mechanical engineering fields involve extensive use of computational and mathematical tools, physical laws and equations, but these fall under a different patenting category altogether.
Mechanical inventions have no constraints as they range from a simple yet effective patented invention of a four year old from Texas for “An aid for grasping round knobs†to researched and focused inventions in all areas of mechanical expertise. Few of the well known companies that have a good mechanical patent portfolio include Canon Kabushiki Kaisha with 6798 US patents, General Electric company with 6649 US patents, Xerox Corporation with 2736 US patents and Ford Motor Company, which currently has about 2671 US patents. Some inspiring patented mechanical inventions include legacy devices such as typewriters, Xerox machines to modern inventions such as biomorphic robots, everting heart valves, etc.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office currently specifies 248 major classes for mechanical patents. Each class is given a class definition, and inventions are further categorized into subclasses, where each patent application may be classified under more than one class/subclass. As exemplifications few class definitions are provided here. One class definition encompasses ‘apparatuses that produce compressive force’, another encompasses ‘apparatuses for transferring fluent materials through enclosed structures’, yet another encompasses ‘apparatuses for supplying air to, circulating air in and removing air from enclosed spaces.’
Then there are subclasses defined for each mechanical unit or component of a larger entity. This demonstrates the extent of classification accomplished by the USPTO.
The future of mechanical innovations is considerably bright, not just in the automobile industry but also in sectors like robotics, printing technology, and many more. Mechanics is used to manufacture machines; it is used by the machines, and for enabling the machines. Mechanical innovations gifted us the ease and flexibility of transportation in all forms including inland, air and sea; will aid us in rebuilding the WTC using huge construction equipment and intricate structural frameworks, to relish life with little things like toys, amusement rides, etc.
How Music Licensing Helps the Struggling Composers Reach the Peak Of Popularity
Posted by admin on December 31st, 2010
Music is the heart and soul of a movie. The song writers put the sequence of the movies and the emotions surrounding the scene into words and the composers provide suitable and impressive tone and note to it. If you have examined the recent movie songs minutely, you must have observed that they lack originality. The tunes either are copied from other sources or they are produced as remixed version of the golden age songs. Several artists exist who publish their original compositions on various websites so that the movie makers notice them and use them in their products. In order to facilitate this process, music licensing is used. The music licensing for movies give the producers a chance to use the creation of someone else in their products.
If someone asks you to list down the names of some of the famous song writers and composers, you can easily do that without even thinking once. But numerous talented artists are around you who possess immense caliber to reach the peak of success, but due to their bad luck they couldn’t do so. In spite of arranging so many platforms to hunt musical talents, many of them are left behind. They struggle and struggle, but do not get anything in return. Music licensing gives them an opportunity to get their musical pieces recognized on their name. The artists who have the talent to create original instrumental pieces are in most demand among the film makers or producers. Music licensing for movies is a process utilizing which the film makers get a grant to place their (unknown composers’) compositions within the movies.
The very first thing that the unknown artists are required to do is to obtain a copyright on their creation along with the music license. This is because it has been observed in several cases that without possessing a valid license and copyright on your creation, if you publicize your composition, it might get copied by anyone and presented on his name. In case, you have a license for your music, you can litigate that ‘anyone’ on the illegal charges of copying your creation without permission. Thus, you must go for music licensing to register the musical piece on your name. Once you license your product, the producers would avail the music licensing for movies facilities offered by the companies to use your license on your behalf.
In case, if you have any confusion related to these processes, you must consult and avail the services offered by the music licensing companies. They will give you a step-wise procedure to be followed to get your music noticed by the ones looking for it to place it in their movies. Publishing your creation on the website would ensure that the film makers will come across your instrumentals and contact you if your music suits the particular sequence of their movie. Even if they do not select it for the first time, if your composition appears to be impressive, they will definitely ask for music licensing for movies whenever the scene demands for such products.
The money that the artists receive through music licensing for movies is not because they rent their creation, but they get paid in return to the use of their license by the film makers. The process of music licensing does not only help the unknown artist get handsome payment, but they also get global recognition as a result of the popularity of their composition.

Posted by admin on December 31st, 2010
<!– @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } –>
In a legal battle over trademarks to rival that of Skype and BSkyB, high street retailer Gap has decided to sue the social networking startup Gapnote, citing the latter intention to “deceive consumers and generate interest in its own social media and networking site”.
Â
It emerged that the clothes retailer has demanded the cessation of the use of the word ‘gap’ by the website, and that it concede the domain URL to Gap. The clothing store has insisted that the striking similarities between the two companies is potentially damaging to them, referring to the proximity of not only the word itself and the similar font used, but also of the goods and services offered under the Gapnote brand. With regards to the latter, this seems somewhat ill-informed.
Â
Gapnote is a social networking site, founded in 2007 by a London based student. It’s aim is to enable users to document the past and present, as well as communicating with future generations via the creation of a note. It is an online time capsule, providing a platform not only for the standard form of online social communication which occupies much of the average user’s digital activity, but also to create living records directed at those still to come.
Â
How then, that the services provided by Gapnote can be described as similar to those of Gap, a clothes shop, is bewildering. The belief that there is an imminent threat from the social media site for a brand so well-known and influential as Gap is simply unfounded.
Â
To blatant appropriation of another recognisable brand by another smaller company for their own benefit is one thing, to threaten such a business with legal proceedings over the use of an arbitrary term such as gap is another entirely. Gap cannot claim a monopoly on the word; it existed before the shop, and will continue to exist when the shop does not.
Â
This entire episode appears to be an example of a large company flexing their corporate muscle, ensuring that their financial success is in no way impeded. The branches of the Gap tree are protruding further from the trunk in an attempt to disguise any budding goodies which may be hidden at the roots.
Â
In terms of online coverage, a search for ‘gap’ on Google UK returns no results for Gapnote within the top 100 pages, a note in itself indicating the sheer might of the clothing company over the social networking site. In fact, the very existence of Gapnote may even prove to be of greater benefit than detriment to the success of Gap in terms of search engine optimisation, with the appearance of Gap within the SERPs returned from a Google search on Gapnote providing extra opportunity for further Gap traffic.
Â
It seems that the high street brand are keen to bridge the gap between copyright infringement and the incidental usage of words by different companies. The bridge must be built on the evidence of the likelihood of confusion between the brands, without which any hopes of exterminating the Gapnote threat will falter.
