Platts said the airline's argument amounted to a restriction or limit on its obligation to pay and thus went against article 15 of the EU flight delay regulations. Under a previous Supreme Court judgment, passengers were allowed six years to make their claim. Northwestern firm Bott & Co, which brought the claim, has represented other claimants in recent years who have been seeking compensation for delays. The firm said the ruling stands to affect 2.66m customers of Ryanair alone, with £610m due to be paid in compensation. Kevin Clarke, who acted for the claimants, said: 'The Supreme Court decision last year said passengers have six years to bring a claim. That is a definitive, binding, clear judgment from the highest court in England and Wales. 'This should have concluded matters but unfortunately Ryanair have been able to tweak the argument; we found ourselves running a complicated court case arguing the fine points of contract law.' | not-forward | www.lawgazette.co.uk | https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/practice/ryanair-faces-610m-claims-bill-after-losing-test-delay-case/5050649.article |

In 2010, shortly after Oracle acquired Java owner Sun Microsystems, Oracle sued Google for infringement of its copyright. This was followed by years of wrangling about whether it is possible to claim copyright over an API. In the final ruling, the American justices decided that regardless of whether or not copyright could be claimed over an API, it would, in any case, fall under fair use. Only a small part of the code is involved, and Google's actions have not led to a loss of sales for Oracle.

Meta's lawyers made the argument that Giphy's ad platform never had significant market potential in the first place and was therefore not unfairly restricting the market. Daniel Jowell, of Meta's legal team, said that the significantly lower offer that Meta rival Snap made to purchase Giphy backed up the wider perception that Giphy's ads did not have the potential to rival larger competitors. Snap previously made an informal offer of $142m to acquire Giphy, less than half of the $315m offer from Meta. Snap went on to acquire Giphy's competitor Gfycat. Jowell argued that the "minuscule" revenue of Giphy compared to Meta and Giphy's lack of ad presence in the UK further supported Meta's case. According to Jowell, Giphy's US revenue was less than 0.05% of the ad revenue made by Meta. | not-forward | www.uktech.news | https://www.uktech.news/news/government-and-policy/meta-giphy-cma-appeal-20220426 |

In 2012, Indian companies raised about $10 billion by way of international bonds, estimate issue arrangers. "In 2013, the issuances by Indian issuers could be 50 per cent higher than 2012," said Jujhar Singh, managing director and head of debt capital markets, South Asia, Standard Chartered Bank. According to issue arrangers, the coupon rates for raising international bonds have dropped significantly due to a fall in international treasury yields. "Issuances have picked up because the market is becoming so much wider and deeper. It's a reflection of the deepening of the debt capital market globally. Also, the investor base has widened. Since interest rates by historical standards are extremely low abroad, everybody is looking to add assets that offer you some yield picks up," said Hitendra Dave, managing director, head of global markets, India, at Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp. | forward | www.business-standard.com | https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/india-inc-takes-overseas-route-to-raise-funds-113030700355_1.html |
Tencent's attention is quite a reprieve for Mascotte, which at the last count had HK$700 million of convertible bonds due in December. Mascotte can convert the bonds into stock, but if the current deal happens it may not have to. With total assets of just HK$138 million, paying back in cash would not have been an option until now. What Tencent and Evergrande get is harder to divine. Mascotte these days mainly makes camera cases.

Overall, the Aveng order book, which stands at R17.9-billion, has decreases by 28% since December 31, when it was valued at R25.1-billion. Nevertheless, Diack says he is the most optimistic he has been for two years about Aveng's future prospects, arguing that its strengthened capital structure provides a "solid platform" for turning around the group's fortunes. He acknowledges, too, that this platform is the result of sacrifices made by shareholders, bondholders and lenders, which enabled the group to complete a R493-million rights issue, pursue the early redemption of R2-billion convertible bond and extend the term of bank debt to 2020. The bond buyback has been funded through a new debt instrument of R460-million, with the remaining R1.4-billion settled through the issuance, on September 25, of new Aveng shares, priced at 10c a share. | not-forward | engineeringnews.co.za | http://engineeringnews.co.za/article/aveng-reports-strong-market-interest-in-most-of-its-noncore-assets-2018-09-26 |

While regulators are uneasy over record debt, investors so far seem content to oblige borrowers. When utility Veolia tapped the market for a three-year bond last month, not only did it secure a negative interest rate, but investor bids reached four times the amount offered. Moody's analyst Guillaume Leglise said that credit quality and companies' ratings were on average stable, even though some firms had leveraged up. "Everything is on track, there isn't a short-term liquidity risk, most companies are taking advantage of exceptional market conditions to refinance or to finance acquisitions with debt," Leglise said. Indeed, Moody's forecasts French corporate bond issuance to rise next year as the economy picks up. Societe Generale co-head of corporate debt origination Felix Orsini said issuers were being cautious, even if the temptation to take on debt was rising after years of low interest rates. | forward | www.thisismoney.co.uk | https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-5202547/ballooning-french-corporate-debt-rattles-regulators-not-lenders.html |

The plan formalizes what GM has been saying for months: One of its German factories will close... eventually. But will this deal be what GM needs to stem its huge losses in the Old World? A long-standing problem that cries out for action For months now, GM has been negotiating - or trying to negotiate - a rescue plan with representatives of IG Metall, the powerful German labor union that represents workers at Opel, the GM subsidiary that accounts for most of the company's business in Europe. Opel needs rescuing, badly. GM has lost over $17 billion in Europe since 1999, $1.8 billion of that in 2012 alone. Its problems are familiar ones: Too many factories, too-rich labor deals, tough competition - and a protracted economic mess that nearly drove auto sales to a 20-year low last year.

Neither venture has yet proved a success. Moreover, despite Apple's rapid growth, Mr. Sculley has been faulted for being too slow to respond to an assault on the company by rival computer makers whose machines are powered by Intel Corporation chips and run Microsoft Corporation software. Apple computers are based on the company's own software and use chips from Motorola Inc. Many industry executives say they think Mr. Sculley missed an opportunity in the late 1980's to move Apple's Macintosh software to Intel-based computers before Microsoft was able to popularize its Windows program, which imitates the graphical Macintosh approach to computing. Many analysts also say he was too slow in reducing Apple's prices during the continuing personal computer industry price war, thereby losing valuable market share that the company has yet to reclaim.

Full service carriers have been steadily losing market share to LCCs, and the price move, apart from improving the passenger load factor, could help them grab market share. Budget carriers IndiGo (at 27.6 per cent) and SpiceJet (at 18.5 per cent ) have been gaining market share at the expense of Jet (25.2 per cent). In July, IndiGo (27 per cent) displaced Jet (26.6 per cent) as the market leader in passenger share. | not-forward | www.business-standard.com | http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/domestic-carriers-launch-fare-war-ahead-of-festive-season-112092500054_1.html |
A merger of Sprint and T-Mobile US will merely make this oligopoly less competitive because it would offer reduced choice to consumers. Instead of two highly motivated challengers to the market leaders, there would be one potential challenger (a very large No. 3) with no real incentive remaining having taken over its closest competitor. Softbank's interest in T-Mobile US has nothing to do with improving consumer services. It has everything to do with taking out a competitor. Softbank stated that it needs to be larger to compete with the "duopoly." Seriously? How about offering better services? T-Mobile US is doing so and winning market share. Clearly, T-Mobile US has its "mojo" back. The services they introduced recently and the energy they bring to the market are helping them gain market share. | not-forward | www.rcrwireless.com | https://www.rcrwireless.com/20140715/opinion/reality-check-will-wireless-competition-disappear |
Tiffany & Co. ( NYSE: TIF ) is widely thought of as the king of high-end jewelry. While many local high-end jewelry stores compete with Tiffany in local markets, it is hard to imagine that Costco Wholesale Corporation ( NASDAQ: COST ) is a real destination for ultra high-end jewelry. The reality is that Costco has had many higher-end offering through the years but it is hard to imagine that you can spend $100,000 or $300,000 or even over $400,000 for diamond ring made of platinum at the box-store giant. | not-forward | 247wallst.com | https://247wallst.com/companies-and-brands/2012/04/24/is-costco-competing-against-tiffany-blue-nile-and-high-end-jewelers-now-cost-tif-nile |
Miller Lite owner Molson Coors Beverage Co. shared that it had lost some market share in the US, partly because it had to suspend production of some canned beers—an increasingly common story among other producers, big and small. In fact, the little guys have been hit particularly hard by ongoing can supply challenges. After pivoting to canning their brews due to a loss in foot traffic, local breweries and other craft producers found themselves competing to get their products packaged and in the hands of consumers. And it wasn't just beer brands feeling the heat. In the height of the pandemic, it was reported that Coca-Cola temporarily stopped producing 12-packs of Minute Maid Light Lemonade and other niche products so those cans could be used for their more iconic offers, like Coca-Cola and Sprite. Pepsi also acknowledged making similar choices in their supply chain to mitigate canning challenges. | not-forward | www.distillerytrail.com | https://www.distillerytrail.com/resource-library/the-beverage-worlds-journey-from-can-tastic-to-can-demic-to-can-pocalypse-brandscape |
Roku faces steep competition in the streaming player space. Amazon ( AMZN ), Google ( GOOGL ) and Apple ( AAPL ) all offer streaming players that go head to head with Roku's. However, the real threat comes just from AMZN. The ecommerce giant made significant progress in its efforts to expand its Fire TV player customer base, with it boasting 34 million regular users compared to Roku's 30.5 million active accounts. According to a Conviva report released on August 7, Roku still leads the race in terms of market share with it controlling 43% of the connected TV space vs Amazon's 18%. | not-forward | finance.yahoo.com | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bulls-vs-bears-roku-side-091720865.html |
The case Starbucks v. Sardarbuksh Coffee & Co. showcases the evolution of franchising fraud and trademark infringement jurisprudence in India. In this case, Starbucks sued Sardarbuksh in the Delhi High Court, alleging that the name, logo, and trade dress were confusingly similar to Starbucks' name, logo, and trade dress. The case raised elements of consumer protection, employee and cultural concerns, and the traditional global elements of trademark law. One of the key questions was the phonetic similarities between Starbucks and Sardarbuksh. Starbucks contended that the phonetic similarity was intentionally implied by Sardarbuksh in order to obtain an unfair competitive advantage. Indian courts typically place great emphasis on phonetic similarities because, in the consumer context, the average consumer rarely decodes the etymology of a name. | not-forward | lawfullegal.in | https://lawfullegal.in/franchise-scams-and-trademark-misuse-in-india-a-case-study-on-starbucks-corporation-v-sardarbuksh-coffee-co-2018 |
Nestlé's position at the top of the SPV table is not an assessment of its overall sustainability performance, but rather indicates how much brand value it has tied up in sustainability perceptions. That said, the brand has made significant progress in its sustainability objectives. For example, Nestlé is the first company to disclose the nutritional value of its entire global product portfolio, benchmarking against the Health Star Rating system. The brand aims to lead the industry in providing delicious and balanced meals worldwide as part of it "Good for You" focus.

Abu Dhabi, the desert emirate holding about 6% of the world's oil, cut export prices for its crude for the seventh consecutive month and to the lowest since 2009 amid a global price slump. Murban crude, its main grade, sold in January for $46.40 a barrel, or 23% below December's level, according to an e-mailed statement from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. Murban hasn't sold for less since February 2009, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Oil has fallen 47% in the last six months as swelling supply, mainly from North American shale deposits, has outpaced demand. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided to maintain its output target on Nov. 27, fanning speculation that Saudi Arabia and other group members are seeking to preserve market share and make non-OPEC producers bear some of the burden of reducing the supply glut. | not-forward | egyptoil-gas.com | https://egyptoil-gas.com/news/abu-dhabi-cutting-oil-prices-to-six-year-low |

"It's a slow retreat for Microsoft to fall into a middle ground with the government," said George Koo, an analyst with Burnham Securities in New York. "They are backing down." All of these deals were part of Microsoft's aggressive plan to promote Internet Explorer and take market share from Netscape Communications' Navigator, still the dominant Web browser but rapidly losing ground. The Justice Department has accused Microsoft of unfairly leveraging its Windows operating system dominance to foist its browser on business partners, and Hatch called Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing to address concerns arising from the case. Industry analysts and legal experts say the company's recent retreat from some of its contracts appears to be aimed at heading off any government regulation. In a worst-case scenario for Microsoft, the company could eventually be ordered to break up parts of its business, not unlike the divestiture of AT&T more than a decade ago. | not-forward | www.cnet.com | https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/microsoft-backs-away-from-deals |
Tesla has an aging vehicle line-up, and its newest North American offering, the Cybertruck, has not impressed reviewers. By its own admission, the company is struggling to scale up the Cybertruck's production as well. Perhaps most worrying for Musk is that Tesla produced almost 47,000 more vehicles during the first quarter than it sold, suggesting that it is beginning to hit real limits on customer demand for its cars. "There must be some kind of supply-demand imbalance here," Cantor said. Tesla has slashed its vehicle prices by thousands of dollars over the past year in order to stimulate demand. Tesla doesn't break out its sales data by region, which is a shame because that could help clarify what is going on. If Tesla's sales are flagging in China and Europe, that could be because consumers are flocking to a new set of EV options. A sales decline in the U.S. would indicate that one of the company's cash cows, the Model Y crossover, is beginning to falter. "If you look at this, you can see where there are yellow flags here," Cantor said.

Outcome of the legal battle is expected to change the way patent system works in the technology industry with the court expected to clarify the issue at a period of time where injunctions in patent cases has become a huge debate in the lower courts.
