41)Some sort of Republic of Inhospitality

India Republic Day -- Since India celebrates Republic Day and the chests of millions of Indians swell with take great pride in at the thought of our tremendous diversity and imagined armed service prowess it is well in order to reflect on what kind of Republic the actual has become. A republican kind of government is not merely one in which the head of status is not a hereditary monarch; rather the modern republic engraves the idea that sovereignty resides inside the people and that the will of the testers as expressed through their very own representatives is supreme. Exactly what has however been essential to the idea of the republic everywhere is the notion of inclusiveness. In this respect the tales that have been coming out of India recently tell a tale that is chilling to the bones a tale that leaves behind a stench this no amount of sloganeering regarding Swachh Bharat or even one thing more than a symbolic wielding in the broom can eradicate. If inclusiveness is the touchs

( February 2008 ) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The extent to which a trademark owner may prevent unauthorized use of trademarks which are the same as or similar to its trademark depends on various factors such as whether its trademark is registered, the similarity of the trademarks involved, the similarity of the products or services involved, and whether the owner's trademark is well known or, under U.S. law relating to trademark dilution, famous .

Public policy edit Trademark law is designed to fulfill the public policy objective of consumer protection, by preventing the public from being misled as to the origin or quality of a product or service. By identifying the commercial source of products and services, trademarks facilitate identification of products and services which meet the expectations of consumers as to quality and other characteristics. Trademarks may also serve as an incentive for manufacturers, providers or suppliers to consistently provide quality products or services to maintain their business reputation. Furthermore, if a trademark owner does not maintain quality control and adequate supervision in relation to the manufacture and provision of products or services supplied by a licensee, such "naked licensing" will eventually adversely affect the owner's rights in the trademark.

International law

Although there are systems which facilitate the filing, registration or enforcement of trademark rights in more than one jurisdiction on a regional or global basis, it is currently not possible to file and obtain a single trademark registration which will automatically apply around the world. Like any national law, trademark laws apply only in their applicable country or jurisdiction, a quality which is sometimes known as "territoriality". Territorial application edit The inherent limitations of the territorial application of trademark laws have been mitigated by various intellectual property treaties, foremost amongst which is the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). TRIPS establishes legal compatibility between member jurisdictions by requiring the harmonization of applicable laws. For example, Article 15(1) of TRIPS provides a definition for "sign" which is used as or forms part of the definition of "trademark"
