Wishing all our friends, clients and colleagues a wonderful holiday season and a very Happy New Year 2024!
At ALG we celebrated together over cake, festivities and secret gift exchanges which were surrounded with much suspense, intrigue and laughter!
ALG Of Counsel and Former Deputy Registrar of Trade Marks Mr. R.A. Tiwari will be speaking during the upcoming World Intellectual Property Forum in Bengaluru on IP Asset Management – A Strategic Perspective. The session will take place on January 12, 2024
A ‘Legal Issues Seminar – General IP’ (LIS-GIP) was conducted by Malveka Nautiyal, Trainee Associate, on “What is the Threshold of ‘Public Interest’ under the Right to Information Act, 2005?” The seminar explored how the Courts and the Central Information Commission (‘CIC’) interpret the term “Public Interest”.
The session discussed situations wherein the question of ‘public interest’ as a ground for disclosure of information otherwise exempted under the RTI Act, was examined by the Courts. The session also delved into the contrary stances taken by the Courts and the CIC on what would constitute ‘public interest’ when dealing with concepts like ‘commercial gain’, ‘fiduciary relationship’, and ‘competitive position’. Further, the session delved into the extent to which information pertaining to intellectual property may be withheld or disclosed under the RTI Act.
The workshop explored enhancing emotional intelligence through the lens of Transactional Analysis. Our team members attained a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of Transactional Analysis and its impact on EQ, approaches to leveraging emotional intelligence for fostering effective communication, and techniques for cultivating improved productivity in the workplace. The workshop provided practical insights into various techniques for the management of time and energy. It also highlighted important aspects of self awareness and regulation, to enable fostering of interpersonal relationships.
