April 26th is celebrated each year as the World IP Day. For those interested, I penned a short piece for the Mint on this momentous day, reflecting on Indian IP policy and the progress since the advent of TRIPS 15 years back. I extract a few paras below: “….The stage had been set and India was on its way to mastering the nuances of “TRIPS flexibilities”, a term best articulated in 2002 by Murasoli Maran, who in his avatar as the then commerce minister, famously remarked: “We are all aware that the text of TRIPS is a masterpiece of ambiguity, couched in the language of diplomatic compromise, resulting in a verbal tightrope walk, with a prose remarkably elastic and capable of being stretched all the way to Geneva.” …India’s stand is, however, more nuanced than a simple objection to the upward ratcheting of global IP standards.

Subsequent to the broad changes that the 26th November 2009 notification introduced, RBI has gone a step further today to basically allow any individual to be enrolled as a BC, subject, of course, to the banks’ satisfaction. The Business Correspondent (BC) model, first introduced in 2006 has witnessed mixed results so far with no bank in a position to claim that they have successfully designed and executed a sustainable BC model. Amid claims and complaints of RBI’s original norms making the model inviable, RBI constituted a working group whose recommendations basically formed the 26/11 notification.

Tip of the Week:  The Mother’s Day Corsage! I just read a great article in the April issue of Southern Living that wistfully reminisced about feminine traditions that have gone by the wayside – noting that some were deservedly forgotten and others worthy of revival! Among the icons that we’ve bidden a happy farewell, the author listed bonnet hair dryers, half-slips, teasing combs, white shoes worn only between Memorial Day and Labor Day, nylons, Aqua Net hair spray and girdles!  But, there were three classics listed that deserved a comeback:  Easter dresses, hostess aprons to be donned over fancy outfits when entertaining, and Mother’s Day corsages! Choosing the Flowers for Your Mother’s Day Corsage Mother’s Day corsages are a lovely way to honor the mothers in your life and the flowers in those corsages have their own unique language.  Flowers for your mother’s corsage are chosen based upon whether or not her mother is living. If her mother is living, roses or carnations in pink or red are appropriate. If her mother is not living, white or yellow roses or an orchid are in order.

We have extensively discussed issues around tax avoidance previously; and one of the questions in this regard is the exact relationship between the 5-Judge Bench decision in McDowell and the subsequent 2-Judge Bench decision Azadi . To briefly recapitulate, in McDowell , Justice Chinappa Reddy took a strong stance against tax avoidance and effectively equated avoidance with evasion. Under Justice Chinappa Reddy’s reading, tax avoidance was also illegal

Porrits & Spencer: Form over Substance Reaffirmed

In a decision last delivered last month, the Bombay High Court once again visited the debate over the meaning of ‘sale’, in the process of clarifying the scope of the obligation to deduct tax at source under section 194C of the Income Tax Act. The factual matrix before the Court involved a unique business model adopted by pharmaceutical companies.

When a product with a well-known brand name is seen in a movie or television show, that’s called “product placement”: “product placement, or embedded marketing, is a form of advertisement, where branded goods or services are placed in a context usually devoid of ads, such as movies, the story line of television shows, or news programs.

A good story on the Solicitor-General, Gopal Subramanium’s U.S. visit on the Headley trail.
