...Assignment # 5- Rally Round the Trade Name LEG 500 March 10, 2012 1. Explain whether or not the fact that Gabby’s surname is Rally gives her the right to use it any way she wishes. Gabby’s surname of Rally does not give her the right to use it any way she wishes as it relates to identifying a business. The reason is due to protection under common law and the possibility of infringing on the trade name of Rally associated with cars. Common law advises that a person who first uses a trade name in a specific location for a specific purpose has the rights to the trade name. According to the video Herman has been in business with Rally motors for over 40 years. The surname of Rally may belong to Gabby but it was not associated with a business and used for a specific purpose therefore she does not have the right to use it any way she wishes. 2. Explain whether or not it matters that Rally is associated with pizza. It does not matter that Rally is associated with pizza to the point of trade name infringement. However under common law it does matter that Rally is associated with pizza. Under trade name laws it protects the owner of the trade name from other individuals using the name to associate with similar goods or services. The distinction here is that pizza and cars and not considered in the same market or industry. In contrast, under common this changes in that it does matter that Rally is associated to pizza as protected under common law. Common law gives precedent...

...Rally Round the Trade Name Professor Michael S. Green Law, Ethics and Corporate Governance 14 December 2011 1. Explain whether or not the fact that Gabby's surname is Rally gives her the right to use it any way she wishes. Since Gabby's surname is Rally it does not give her the right to use the name Rally as the lead name of her business. The Lanham Trademark Act which has a subsidiary division called the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995, which protects company’s ownership rights to names, logos or symbols that depict the name of that business. In this case the name "Rally" has been identified as a prominent car dealership, we then have a brand new company in which its business is in food services. The intertwining of the same names is making it very difficult for anyone to distinguish between pizza pallor and a car dealership. The company "Rally Motors" has the legal right to prevent any other company from infringing on the use of the name "Rally". As Herman made very clear in the video presentation, "If I let you name your business "Rally", then I'll have a used car salesman calling his business "Rally", and he'll open p right across the street" (Rally Round the Trade Name skit). If Herman where to allow this to possibility continue , sooner or later, there would be other companies that would develop wit the same type of business plan and possibly overrun Herman’s car dealership. The usage of the name "Rally” for Gabby's pizzeria is a prime example of the...

...At around 8.15 pm just as the time allocated was about to end, we discovered a middle-aged man in a neon-green t-shirt loafing around the closed section of stalls just outside of the Central Market, he seems to be casually chit-chatting with some fellow loafers who are about his age and some even younger. We decided to approach this man in order to fulfill our assigned interviewee for the guided observation trip (which is a loafer indeed) organized by Dr. Linda. We approached him courteously without too much alarm because we did not want him to take us the wrong way. So we introduced ourselves as University of Malaya students who was given an assignment to ask a few simple questions about his background, his point of views in life and surroundings and how he copes living every day. He was a bit hesitant at first but we managed to persuade him by convincing him that it is more of a regular chit-chatting type of interview instead of those formal ones. Upon accepting our request and started conversing we found out that he is a rather hilarious person, occasionally slipping some jokes in every question we ask. He is pretty easygoing and seemed to be the kind of person with lots of experience in life. We started by asking his name and he made us guess by hinting that his name coincides with the first Prime Minister of Malaysia. He also made us guess his age, which we almost got right by saying that he’s probably in his late 30’s or early 40’s. Our interviewee is Mr. Abdul Rahman...

...12/3/14 Poverty in China FRIDAY October seventeenth was China's first official “Poverty Alleviation Day”, a yearly assembly of "discussions and pledge drives", intended to rally deliberations to battle hardship. Obviously, because of China's quick financial advancement, the nation as of now assuages a great deal of destitution every day: a year ago the quantity of rustic poor fell by 16.5m or in excess of 45,000 individuals every day. However that still left 82.49m individuals stuck in country lack of sanitization toward the end of 2013, as indicated by official measurements. A few places in China are more awful off than they look. Their "luxurious city structures" mask devastated populaces, as per Xinhua, the state news office. Different parts of the nation are less poor than they let on. They would prefer not to be expelled from the rundown of "destitution stricken regions" due to the support and different profits they would relinquish. China's neediness is, in this way, a matter of some controversy and perplexity. In reality, China itself may not be as poor as its official media assume. Xinhua reports inaccurately that China's official destitution line is lower than the World Bank's worldwide standard of $1.25 a day. By that global standard, claims an alternate state-supported daily paper, the nation still has more than 200m destitute. In referring to that discouraging measurement, it echoes a discourse in June by Li Keqiang, China's chief, in which he said that "in...

(National Automobile Company Private Limited). approved by the Cabinet in 1982, leading to the official founding of Proton on 7 May 1983. The company was initially wholly owned by the government of Malaysia through Khazanah Nasional and was headed by its founder, Dr. Mahathir. Proton approached Mitsubishi Motors between 1983 and 1984 and brokered a joint venture between both companies for the production of the first Malaysian car. The result of the collaboration was the Proton Saga, which launched on 9 July 1985.[3] It was based on the second generation 1983 Mitsubishi Lancer Fiore 4-door saloon and powered by a 1.3-litre Mitsubishi Orion 4G13 engine. The first Proton Saga to roll off the production line in Shah Alam is preserved in the Muzium Negara as a symbol of the beginning of the Malaysian automotive industry. Sales of the new Saga outstripped supply and Proton struggled to meet the growing demand, but by mid-1986 it had captured a 64% majority domestic market share in the Below 1600cc segment.[4] Later in October 1987, a hatchback variant called the Proton Saga...

The company originally focused on creating personal computers for the first 25 years of its existence until 2001 when Apple Inc. introduced the iMac followed by the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Over the last decade, Apple started purchasing various software corporations, such as the music company Lala, the personal assistant Siri, and most recently, Anobit Technologies, to integrate their products into Apple’s new computer innovations. Today, Apple Inc.’s main business and operational activities continue to focus on producing and marketing computer electronics, computer software, and personal computers through 357 retail stores in ten countries and its online store (Anonymous, n.d.).

...key will be whether investors revise down their outlook for economies other than the US based on their view for unexpectedly weak US growth and hawkish Fed, in which case they should reduce risk positions in these markets. This week, risk-off momentum strengthened more than expected. 10yr UST rates have declined to levels signalling that a rate hike, as communicated by the Fed, would be premature, and are also approaching to levels that even reject QE3 tapering. (We note that 10yr rates traded around 2.50% when former Fed Chair Bernanke began talking about a QE exit.) These levels were tested in October 2013, but data do not look as poor as to suggest momentum has slowed to levels equivalent to that period. Even US shares, despite the current adjustment, are trading about 10% higher than in October 2013. We surmise that the issues that the US is currently facing are not cyclical, but rather structural (see below). For this reason, we believe any surprises in terms of a rates market rally could come from emerging economies, which are dependent on US growth, or in Japan and Europe, whose monetary policy rest on a strong USD. Indeed, China‟s export data released this week surprised on the downside, and EUR approached highs for the year. In Japan, while JPY has not strengthened...

...drive, and launch a worldwide revolution. The first is going well, the second has proven challenging, and the third is looking up. Graeber is a 50-year-old anthropologist—among the brightest, some argue, of his generation—who made his name with innovative theories on exchange and value, exploring phenomena such as Iroquois wampum and the Kwakiutl potlatch. An American, he teaches at Goldsmiths, University of London. He’s also an anarchist and radical organizer, a veteran of many of the major left-wing demonstrations of the past decade: Quebec City and Genoa, the Republican National Convention protests in Philadelphia and New York, the World Economic Forum in New York in 2002, the London tuition protests earlier this year. This summer, Graeber was a key member of a small band of activists who quietly planned, then noisily carried out, the occupation of Lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, providing the focal point for what has grown into an amorphous global movement known as Occupy Wall Street. It would be wrong to call Graeber a leader of the protesters, since their insistently nonhierarchical philosophy makes such a concept heretical. Nor is he a spokesman, since they have refused thus far to outline specific demands. Even in Zuccotti Park, his name isn’t widely known. But he has been one of the group’s most articulate voices, able to frame the movement’s welter of hopes and grievances within a deeper critique of the historical moment. “We are watching the beginnings of the defiant...

...ORIGINATION OF BABIRWA Babirwa people have moved from place to place before they finally settled in their present settlements permanently. It is hoped that this might shed light on Babirwa people of present day Botswana. The region called Bobirwa is the area which lies between the Shashe River Tuli Block and a north-South line approximately 28 0 15 ' E. The area compasses the villages’ of Bobonong, Gobajango,Mabolwe, Lentswe-Ie-Moriti, Mathathane, Molaladau, Mothabaneng, Semolale and Tsetsebjwe Babirwa originated in Nareng which lies in the south of Bolobedi in Letswalo country around Phalaborwa. Babirwa people present at Nareng date back to between 1510 and 1599. Babirwa moved from Nareng under their chief, Tshukudu, to the Blauwberg area in the former Transvaal. It was while they were at Blauwberg that they started breaking up around the 1820s. The group that left Blauwberg headed for Zimbabwe under the leadership of Dauyatswala and his brother Makhure (a). This group was not welcomed in Mambo's country. The two brothers decided to leave the place to seek refuge somewhere else. At the last moment Makhure refused to go with Dauyatswala. Dauyatswala together with his followers moved back to the Transvaal. Makhure was given a piece of land in Zimbabwe to live with his followers. They lived for a while before they were attacked by the Ndebele of Mzilikazi, who was running away from Shaka's rule, in 1837 .They fled to the present day Botswana led by Sekoba, one of Makhure's...

...by the leather-jacket types, it took solace in knowing that almost every U.S. police department used its machines. Perhaps this is what led Harley to stand aside and complacently watch Honda make deep inroads into the American motorcycle market. The management saw no threat in Honda's thrust into the market with lightweight machines. The Harley attitude was exemplified in this statement by William H. Davidson, president of the company and son of the founder: Basically, we don't believe in the lightweight market. We believe that motorcycles are sport vehicles, not transportation vehicles. Even if a man says he bought a motorcycle for transportation, it's generally for leisure-time use. The liglthveight motorcycle is only supplemental Back around World War I, a number of companies caine out with light weight bikes. We came out with one ourselves. They never got anywhere. We've seen what happens to these small sizes.L Eventually Harley recognized that the Honda phenomenon was not an aberra lion, and that there was a new factor in the markel The company attempted to fight back by offering an Italian-made lightweight in the mid-lOGOs. But it was far too late Honda was firmly entrenched. The Italian bikes were regarded in the industry to be of lower quality than the Japanese. Honda-and toward the end of the 1960s, other' Japanese manufacturers-continued to dominate what had become a much larger market than anyone ever dreamed. AFTERMATH...
