Summary/Abstract

Numerical valuation of patents is a difficult task due to great uncertainty regarding the future and inaccuracy in estimation. The pay-off method is an easy to use and understand analysis method that is based on using value scenarios and real options-thinking. The method is designed for the analysis of assets that suffer from difficulties in estimation precision and often face high uncertainty. This paper shows how patent valuation can be enhanced with the help of the pay-off method, based on any of the three 'conventional' patent valuation methods. A numerical case about how the pay-off method can be used together with the discounted cash flow method is presented. The method is already in use by a number of multi-national companies for valuation of R&D and is on its way to be introduced into the IPR functions of a number of corporations.

Morality of copyright: a critique in view of the '3 Idiots' controversy / Banerjee, Arunabha; Agrawal, Aniket Deepak

Banerjee, Arunabha	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2011.

Summary/Abstract

This article seeks to examine debatable issues that have arisen following the controversy involving author's rights after the release of the film '3 Idiots' based on Chetan Bhagats's novel '5 Point Someone'. The fact that Bhagat failed to get due recognition in the credits of movie along with alleged mutilation of the original work raises the question of recognition of moral rights in India. Following the 1994 amendment, copyright law has drifted away from the objective of viewing a work as an integral expression of the author's personality - probably reason why contracts continue to dictate the rights and obligations of parties in such transactions. This article throws light on the need to restore focus on these legitimate concerns by undertaking a critical comparison of the position under foreign laws. The difference in the perspectives of common law and civil law countries in treating the issue of morality of copyright has been marked. A number of illustrative case laws and international conventions have been discussed under various jurisdictions to cull out the basic tenets of moral nature of copyright. The article also puts forth certain suggestions to address the legal concerns.

Rights and duties of broadcasting organizations: analysis of WIPO treaty on the protection of broadcasting organizations / Sehgal, Divyanshu; Mathur, Siddharth

Sehgal, Divyanshu	Journal Article

Summary/Abstract

Transmission of data through a signal based approach has been made possible by the broadcasting organizations, but it has come at certain costs. The problem posed by incidences of signal theft induced the member states of World Intellectual Property Organization to create a new international tool in the form of a treaty to tackle this problem. The paper seeks to analyse this in the light of present legal regime where protection is granted to the broadcasting organizations, and whether granting further protection in the form of exclusive rights will serve the interest of developing nations or not. The representatives of developing nations have made it clear that if the treaty is not based on elementary and absolutely necessary rights, it should be abandoned. A study of the treaty makes it clear that the primary purpose of treaty is not to tackle signal theft, which makes its primary agenda ancillary in nature.
