Introduction : Search engines allow advertisers to bid on words that trigger the display of sponsored results. This creates a commercially important question: may a company purchase its competitor’s trademark as a keyword so that its advertisement appears when users search for the competitor? For example, a restaurant may bid on “McDonald’s” so that its advertisement appears when a user searches for McDonald’s restaurants. The advertiser may never display the word in the visi

Introduction : Software is often described as a technical product, but copyright law approaches it through its expressive form. A computer programme is made up of instructions written in source code, translated into object code and executed by a computer to produce a result. The fact that code performs a functional operation does not remove it from copyright protection. The legal question is whether the code constitutes an original expression fixed in a legally recognisable f

Introduction : Trademark opposition and rectification proceedings depend heavily on documentary evidence. Parties must establish prior use, reputation, ownership, distinctiveness, bad faith and other facts that cannot ordinarily be proved through pleadings alone. Rule 45 of the Trade Marks Rules 2017 prescribes a two-month period for filing evidence in support of opposition or rectification proceedings. The legal controversy has been whether this period is mandatory, so that

Introduction : In an industrial setting, a digital twin rarely consists of a single component. It may be embodied in CAD files, executable code, models, software algorithms, technical documentation, process instructions, sensor logs and historical operating data. This layered structure creates potential ambiguities over ownership at the time of procurement. The manufacturer may own the physical equipment and certain pre-existing engineering specifications relating to it. The

Introduction : There are multiple disclosure obligations, with multiple clocks, multiple audiences, and multiple statutes, that apply to a listed Indian company in the event of a cyber incident. The Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") mandates that material events be disclosed to stock exchanges in hours and the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team ("CERT-In") mandates that specified cyber incidents be reported to the government within 6 hours of an entity bein

Introduction : Terms in law are not synonymous as even words that might have a similar meaning can be completely different in their impact and therefore, the consequences. One such set of words which are similar in everyday language yet completely different in the legal language are “insolvency”, “bankruptcy”, “liquidation” and “winding up”. A layman might use them synonymously but the issue arises when such usage also happens within the legal world where it has significant r

Introduction : The creation of pictures, videos, and music has been altered by generative AI. A person's face may be convincingly superimposed on another's body, a voice can be copied from a brief recording, and a synthetic video can show a public figure promoting a product or making a political statement that they never authorized or uttered in 2026. These technologies are suitable for use in creative expression, dvertising, movies, and accessibility. Nevertheless, they have

Introduction : The internationalization of the operations of firms has become common today and one way this manifests itself is through the mobility of personnel from one country to another. International mobility is simply a part of the operations of contemporary businesses. The firm may send its workers from one nation to another for a certain period of time to provide some kind of expertise to other units of the firm in order to manage the projects or expand the business.

Introduction : Mergers in the corporate field serve as very important instruments for market expansion and strategic operational consolidation. But, the effectiveness of a merger relies heavily on the financial neutrality of the same along with tax continuity being an important aspect. The concerned legislation in India dealing with the same is the Income Tax Act, 1961, which provides mechanisms for the tax-neutral restructuring in cases of corporate mergers. Looking at the

Introduction : When parties choose to have their dispute handled in a foreign location, they frequently assume that Indian courts lack jurisdiction. This is only partially accurate, and when it is incorrect, implementing a judgment or arbitral award may have disastrous repercussions if assets are stolen, evidence is concealed or destroyed, or the counterparty reorganizes its Indian presence before an award is rendered. Although it needs careful formulation to invoke, the Arbi

Introduction : Artificial intelligence is growing quicker than ever, however effective processors on my own can not assist the destiny of AI. Modern structures additionally want a green manner to transport big quantities of information among GPUs, CPUs, memory, garage, and networking equipment. This is in which silicon photonics is rising as a promising era. Silicon photonics combines the producing skills of silicon with the rate of optical communique. Instead of transmitting

Introduction : Artificial intelligence in the legal field has aided in the exploration of legal research but this benefit comes at the cost of a dangerous form of vulnerability in the form of hallucinations. AI-generated responses often reflect reasonable citations, real-looking case names and sound legal reasoning, which gives researchers a sense of false confidence. The ultimate result of this confidence is compromise in the integrity of the judicial process by mitigating t
