Introduction : Now, businesses such as retailers, hotels, landlords, and airlines use advanced revenue-management systems. These include tools that analyse market information to suggest recommendations or automatically set the prices. When the same system is used by several market players, a question arises: Should one think about these businesses as having coordinated their actions/action? The competition law allows firms to compare their prices with those of their competito

Introduction : In the vast details of India's Data Protection Bill, 2023, which many people realize has nothing to do with data breaches or penalties, one clause could end up playing a significant role in democratic governance in India. Section 44 (3) does not mention data breaches, but it mentions paperwork, which means that it changes the sentence in a twenty-year-old transparency law and consequently has probably eliminated one of the most powerful and helpful tools availa

Introduction : In the last decade, the footballing world has stood strong against racism. FIFA and UEFA joining hands to protect players from discrimination through their ‘No Racism’ and ‘Say No to Racism’ campaigns, respectively, have shaped the laws of the game to suppress racism. Continuing its commitment, FIFA and IFAB brought a new law in the game in which players can be red-carded for concealing their speech by covering their mouths. This prevents discriminatory remark

Introduction : The intersection of arbitration and insolvency presents a complex area of commercial dispute in the midst of financial distress. Arbitration is founded on the parties agreement to have their dispute resolved through adjudicatory mechanism, while insolvency proceedings operate through collective framework addressing financial distress of a corporate body. The commencement of insolvency proceedings can alter how contractual disputes are pursued. This becomes sign

Introduction : As a child, I was always fond of games that involved makeup, fashion, cleanliness, or cooking. I enjoyed them so much that I started downloading these apps when I was just 12–13 years old. At that age, I often felt that these games were like an escape mechanism where I could change physical appearances and do whatever I wanted with a character’s body. Through them, I even learned which makeup product is applied where. This was quite surprising for my mother. Sh

Introduction : Increasing use of cryptocurrency and tokens with digital wallets has brought different kinds of assets in business dealings. Companies now deal in these blockchain based transactions more often. Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code from 2016 does not cover them explicitly. These assets can be pseudonymous and change value fast. They move across borders depending on private keys or custodians for access. Token holders might not qualify as creditors and the way claims

Introduction : In a corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) of Gloster Industries Limited (Gloster Limited v. Gloster Cables Limited & Ors), the Supreme Court on January 22, 2026 quashed the finding of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) that the trademark GLOSTER belonged to the corporate debtor. The Court clarified that the residuary jurisdiction of the NCLT under Section 60(5) of IBC is not intended to conclusively resolve a dispute between two or more rival pr

Introduction : “Many of us believe in the soul. Moral rights of the artist are the soul of his work’’ When it comes to the rights of an artist in terms of his creation, various speculations arise. Whether the law only protects its economic and materialistic rights or the concept of dignity, morals, and emotional connection of the artist to his artistic work counts. In the case of Amarnath Sehgal V. Union of India, this issue arose, and this case became one of the landmark ca

Introduction : In the process of a company developing an AI product, the software that actually brings the product to market is often not the training code or paper outlining the architecture. A good team can reconstruct, publish or copy both of those within a couple of weeks. The trained weights themselves, the numerical parameters derived from weeks or months of compute, curated data and iterative tuning, are something that can't be reproduced without massive expenses. Give

Introduction : On 10 February 2026, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) announced the Information Technology (Intermediates Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Amendment Rules, 2026, which introduce a new category - ‘Synthetically Generated Information’ (SGI), effective from 20 February 2026. No law in India, for the first time, explicitly classifies AI generated and AI altered AVC as a separate compliance category that imposes unique due dili

Introduction : The construction and infrastructure industry has long-term contracts, which involve a staggered delivery of goods/services and payments made against such delivery. Milestone billing is sometimes used as a method of payment which means that payments are due upon the completion of specific stages of the work such as foundation, superstructure, systems installation, completion and handing over the project for use by the employer. While this is good for ensuring th

Introduction : Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has been a promising technology of India’s digital economy for years. Be it a roadside peddler/vendor or a large retailer, it has made digital payments instant and without a visible transaction fee. The “free” payment system often raises an economic question: who pays for the infrastructure that makes such transactions free? The question suddenly becomes relevant because from 15th October 2026, a Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) of
