Introduction : A decade back, turning a rough sketch into a set of designs that looked real usually took weeks. One person would draw and then the group would debate the options. After that, a maker or a renderer would turn the chosen idea into a form a client could actually review and now the clock has changed and the Generative tools can cut that wait fast as With one text prompt, an AI aided CAD add on, a parametric system, or an image generator may spit out many possible

Introduction : Three-dimensional printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is gradually changing the rules of traditional manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution in modern business. Previously, the market of spare parts for machines, medical devices, cars, and household appliances used to be monopolized by their manufacturers since they were able to control both prices for spare parts and distribution channels, thus having guaranteed profit from initial investments

Introduction : Previously, a trademark mainly served as a mark that recognized the source of goods or services. In the digital economy today, however, a successful trademark can have a commercial identity that goes beyond the original product for which the trademark was created. An automobile manufacturer can now start engaging in crypto-finance, a fashion brand can introduce cosmetics, and a tech company may offer its customers programs about entertainment, education, and on

Introduction : Two sellers on the same online marketplace can find themselves pricing each other’s products within a few rupees for months, without either ever sending an email to the other. Both will have attached their price listings to a repricing tool, which tracks the competitor’s price and makes automatic adjustments of its own product’s price, often within seconds. The result can be equivalent to a cartel of prices: discounts do not appear on both products simultaneous

Introduction : While there is nothing new in private equity funds featuring ESG-related commitments in their marketing materials, an increasing number of funds are now embedding ESG-related undertakings within the operative documents. This includes indicative ESG targets within term sheets, specific ESG-related exclusions and disclosure covenants inside letters and disclosure of portfolio-level ESG metrics within fund reports to LPs. The practical significance of this develop

Introduction : The Real Estate Regulatory Authority is a statutory board which came into existence through the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

Introduction : In June 2025, Prada models showcased its spring/summer collection in Milan. When the photos and videos of the event were released in July, a hand-stitched leather sandal with a distinctive interlaced toe strap drew popular attention as they looked exactly like “Kolhapuri Chappals”, a cultural heritage being carried by Indian Artisans for centuries. These exhibitions did not even acknowledge the Kolhapuri artisans as the source of the design. This appears as an

Introduction : Indian gaming jurisprudence has long revolved around a seemingly simple distinction: games of skill and games of chance. This dichotomy has dictated whether an activity could be deemed gambling and, subsequently, whether it could be restricted by the State. Judicial decisions concerning rummy, horse racing and prize competitions have consistently emphasised the extent to which the outcome of an activity is determined by skill as opposed to chance. Over time, th

Introduction : From 3 rupees to nearly 96 rupees per US dollar , India's currency has lost 97% of its value since independence. What explains this relentless fall and what does it mean for the world’s most populous country? When India was newly independent, 1 US dollar was purchased for about three rupees . Now, that number is close to 96 rupees per dollar, nearly 30 times more. As noted by DOT News, this isn’t just a sudden crash; it’s a long-term decline that’s been accu

Introduction : The friction between A.I. and Intellectual Property Rights is not exactly new; it has been playing out since around 2018-2019 in Western courts. Those courts have, in various ways, found A.I. to be not eligible as an inventor or as an original maker. The present issues are like this : In case of Generative A.I., does the use of existing owned and copyrighted data to train these systems count as “fair use” or is it actually a direct breach / infringement of copy

Introduction : Each extra click that consumers have to take to cancel a subscription, each pre-ticked checkbox that puts an object in a shopping cart, every countdown timer that creates urgency when it does not exist is now a regulatory concern, not a design decision. Academics and regulators call these "dark patterns" because they are interface strategies designed for conversion, retention, and revenue, not clarity. In this blog, the legal framework of dark patterns in app

Introduction : Succession planning for a family business is a delicate subject. Founders of family-owned businesses often rely on oral understandings and family agreements in relation to future ownership and management of their business. This approach may be adequate as long as the founder retains majority ownership and control. However, upon his or her retirement or incapacitation, disputes may erupt in relation to ownership of shares, management control and entitlement to b
