PPL, IPRS take FM route to create awareness | Radioandmusic.com
Music licensing bodies The Phonographic Performance Ltd (PPL) and The Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) have started a radio campaign across the country to create awareness about the issue of music royalty.
The campaigns, that began this week, are being aired on Reliance ADAG's Big FM and Sun Network’s SFM which promise a pan India presence and will be on air for one month, mainly targeting event organisers in view of the upcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Comments PPL CEO Vipul Pradhan, “We have started campaigning on radio to educate the laymen that although they are not directly involved in paying the royalties, they have to make it a point that the organisers pay the requisite royalty fees during the New Year celebrations. PPL would be airing 30 second ads around 20 times a day.”

Madras HC restrains 2 cos from using ‘Omega’ trade mark
Ordering decree in favour of a Switzerland firm, Omega S.A., the Madras High court restrained by an order of permanent injunction, the Hyderabad-based Avanti Kopp Electricals and the Chennai-based Sona Electric Corporation from manufacturing and sale of all ranges of switches and other allied/cognate goods so as to pass off their goods as those of the Swiss firm by using the expression ‘Omega’ which was the registered trade mark of the Swiss firm.
In an order, on a suit filed by the Swiss firm, Mr Justice A.C. Arumugaperumal Adityan, held that the contention of the defendant firms that the plaintiff-company (Omega S.A.) had not manufactured any switches, and, hence, the use of the trade mark ‘Omega’ would not amount to infringement of the registered trade mark, could not hold any water.
The defendants could not use the word ‘Omega’ even on the wrapper M.O. 2 (series) of switches, the Judge ruled.
-
The defendants contended, inter alia, that the word ‘Omega’ was not something exclusively used by the plaintiff, and the said word, which was the name given to the last letter of the Greek alphabet, was not anyone’s invention.
Holding that use of the word ‘Omega’ in relation to electrical goods amounted to infringement of the plaintiff’s trade mark, the Judge ruled that the plaintiff was entitled for a direction against the defendants to surrender the dies, books etc. under the Trade & Merchandise Marks Act.
An order of mandatory injunction was granted directing the defendants to handover all the unused plastic wrappers (used to cover switches manufactured by defendants) bearing the registered trade mark, to the plaintiff.

Medicinal plants mission to allocate funds to States on demand basis
Disbursal among States of the approved 11th Plan outlay of Rs 630 crore for effectively propagating the new National Mission on Medicinal Plants (NMMP) of the Government will be strictly ‘demand-driven’, and not on the basis of pre-determined allocation.

Disbursal among States of the approved 11th Plan outlay of Rs 630 crore for effectively propagating the new National Mission on Medicinal Plants (NMMP) of the Government will be strictly ‘demand-driven’, and not on the basis of pre-determined allocation.
In short, the potential States will have to vie with each other through various developmental plans and programmes for cultivation, processing and marketing of medicinal plants to get a bigger share of the funds.
The Central contribution would be 100 per cent during the 11th Plan period, and the States’ contributions may be suitably enhanced during the 12th Plan, following a mid-review of the scheme. Funds for implementing the scheme, after approval of the Standing Financing Committee, will be directly released to State Medicinal Plants Boards registered as Society. An MoU will be signed with the State governments for this purpose.
Ideas unlimited - CSIR Intrapreneurship
t’s called “intrapreneurship” - unlocking the intellectual resources and innovative energies from within an established organisation. If the brave new scheme floated by the prime minister’s office and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), to let government-employed scientists set up their own firms, goes through, it could indeed unleash a tidal wave of much-needed scientific entrepreneurship in India.

If the brave new scheme floated by the prime minister’s office and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), to let government-employed scientists set up their own firms, goes through, it could indeed unleash a tidal wave of much-needed scientific entrepreneurship in India. While it is common practice in the United States for professors, students and researchers to turn their research breakthroughs into profitable products and stay part of the organisation, in India, scientists working in state-aided organisations have to sever all links and join the private sector — a risk that many are reluctant to take.
-
he proposed scheme could dramatically amp up innovation in science and technology within the country. Creativity thrives on the edge, the productive friction between different sectors. By immersing themselves in industry environments, it is possible for researchers to generate insights that would not have emerged from within the walls of a single domain, especially one as non-conducive to light bulb ideas as a government department.
