Podcasts about unfair competition

Renaldo discusses his upcoming interview on Germantown Radio 92.9, which will also be available in video on The Neoliberal Round Podcast and YouTube Channel later this week. In this short, Renaldo discusses that oligarchy is not new but has been around throughout history where the wealthy class controls the government; it is only being done publicly today with Trump and Elon Billionaires, who now control the government and the direction of the US. Renaldo highlights this concept in his new and upcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition, and the Death of Nations, which will be released in May 2025. Renaldo will be a guest on Germantown Radio. Renaldo McKenzie is the Host and Creator of The neoliberal round Podcast and President of The Neoliberal corporation.

The EU has long talked about unfair competition from China. After a nine-month probe, Brussels announced additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, establishing that those cars have benefited heavily from “unfair subsidies”, which pose a threat electric vehicle producers in Europe. Beijing has accused the EU of “naked protectionism” which it said will harm relations and undermine global efforts on climate change. Seeking to “de-risk” from China, the EU, is focused on boosting its own auto industries as it transitions to greener energies.

In a speech at the World Economic Forum in China on Tuesday, Premier Li Qiang hit back at criticism from the US and EU that its manufacturers of green technologies benefit from an unfair advantage. His speech comes as Canada could impose higher tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, following in Washington and Brussels' footsteps. Meanwhile, we report on how Chinese electric cars are making gains in other markets, such as Nepal.

Having helped employers make it through one of the most active years in restrictive covenant law, Jackson Lewis co-leaders of the Restrictive Covenants, Trade Secrets and Unfair Competition practice Cliff Atlas and Erik Winton share what to expect for 2024. For starters, the multi-pronged attack on non-competes will likely continue along with more litigation involving other provisions and claims.

Google and its parent company Alphabet will spend the next ten weeks on the docket in a federal court in Washington DC as they face accusations of rigging the market in their favour. FRANCE 24's correspondent Eric Pape explains what this might mean for the tech giant as he reports from Los Angeles. We also take a look at an Amnesty International report on human rights abuses within DR Congo's growing cobalt and copper mining industry, which is driven by rising demand for electric vehicle batteries.

Suing for Unfair Competition and an Injunction to Avoid Private Limitation of Action Provision Dismissed Katherine Rosenberg-Wohl had a homeowners insurance policy with State Farm Fire and Casualty Company (State Farm), providing coverage on her home in San Francisco. The policy has a limitation provision that requires lawsuits to be "started within one year after the date of loss or damage." In Katherine Rosenberg-Wohl v. State Farm Fire And Casualty Company, A163848, California Court of Appeals, First District, Second Division (July 11, 2023) she sought indemnity to remedy a defect in the home. State Farm refused to pay because there was no insurable event and because the suit was filed more than a year after the alleged loss. FACTS In late 2018 or early 2019, plaintiff noticed that on two occasions an elderly neighbor stumbled and fell as she descended plaintiff's outside staircase and learned that the pitch of the stairs had changed and that to make the stairs safe the staircase needed to be replaced. In late April 2019, plaintiff authorized the work and contacted State Farm, and on August 9, she submitted a claim for the money she had spent. The denial was based on the investigation findings and concluded there was no evidence of a covered cause for accidental direct physical damage to the property. Plaintiff submitted a claim to State Farm for her construction expenses, which by then were approximately $52,600, with another $16,800 in anticipated expenses for additional work. By letter dated August 26-plaintiff alleged, without any investigation-State Farm denied the claim. The letter also specifically referenced "the suit limitation period" as a "policy defense." The second suit before the the Superior Court purports to allege a claim for violation of California's unfair competition law. This case was also resolved against plaintiff, also based on the limitation provision, when the trial court sustained a demurrer to the second amended complaint without leave to amend. Plaintiff appealed. On October 22, 2020-some 18 months after she had replaced the staircase, 14 months after State Farm had denied her claim the first time, and nearly six months after the one-year limitation period of the policy had expired-plaintiff filed two lawsuits in San Francisco County Superior Court. State Farm filed a demurrer and a motion to strike the SAC. On July 29, Judge Massullo entered her order sustaining the demurrer without leave to amend, a comprehensive order indeed, eight pages of thoughtful analysis. DISCUSSION The one-year limitation provision in the State Farm policy is there because it was required by statute. [Califonria Insurance Code section 2071] The one-year limitation provisions have long been held valid as mandated by statute. The One-Year Policy Limitation Provision Applies An insured cannot plead around the one-year limitations provision by labeling her cause of action something different than breach of contract which, of course, includes claims for bad faith. Conduct by the insurer after the limitation period has run cannot, as a matter of law, amount to a waiver or estoppel. ZALMA OPINION The Court of Appeal spent many pages resolving this fairly simple dispute. The plaintiff sued to collect benefits she believed were owed under a policy of insurance only to find that the suit was filed to late. To avoid that problem she amended the suit to allege unfair business practices and sought an injunction, all of which were seen to be an alternative way to obtain policy benefits and failed again. For more than 120 years the California Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal have upheld the private limitation of action provision required by statute and no amount of creative pleading can avoid its effect. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

With his background as a brewery owner, business litigator Greg Nylen defends attorneys from “the triumvirate” of unfair-competition claims: the Unfair Competition Law, the False Advertising Law, and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act. Greg shares some trends, tips, and traps emerging in this space, including:

So what has changed under Section 5 and where are we headed?

In this episode, Jeff Harty and Professor Mark Janis delve into the world of design patents, discussing how they became part of the patent regime, challenges facing the protection of modern-day ornamental designs, and possible upcoming changes in design patent law in view of the “article of manufacture” requirement. They also look at specific cases and strategies for claiming and prosecuting design patent applications. In this episode, Jeff Harty and Mark Janis discuss: The evolution of design patents and how they found their home in the patent regime. The effects of Section 171 and imposing many of the requirements for utility patents on design patents. The “article of manufacture” requirement and its impact on protecting modern ornamental designs. Possible upcoming changes in design patent law. Key Takeaways: Design patents have been an awkward fit in a patent regime focused largely on technological inventions. Recently, the Federal Circuit Court has ruled that textual references to the article of manufacture in the title and in the claim could limit the scope of design patent protection. If you're going to have the textual matter limit the scope of your claim for infringement, surely, it would equally apply in a determination on patent validity.The Patent Office has not revised the guidelines for graphical user interfaces in years, but debate and discussion about the needed changes are happening now. “You hear reports of a global marketplace for user interface/user experience design in the billions and billions [of dollars]. It could be the key area of design and innovation in the future. To be sure, we could create rules that effectively would kick those designs out of the design patent regime if we cared that much about the language ‘article of manufacture.'” — Mark Janis   About Mark Janis: Mark D. Janis teaches courses in patents, trademarks, and other areas of intellectual property law. He is the Robert A. Lucas Chair of Law and the director of the Center for Intellectual Property Research at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law.

California's Unfair Competition Laws protect consumers and competitors alike by addressing such things as unlawful or fraudulent business acts or practices, unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising, and related practices. Some practices are obvious such as lying in ads or bait and switch, while others more subtle such as securing your automobile purchase against your home rather than the car. How does a consumer -- or a competitor -- know when he/she has been victimized by such unfair practices? How can you respond, and what remedies might be available? Tonight, YLR Host Jeff Hayden welcomes San Jose attorney Josh Borger to discuss Unfair Competition and to answer your questions.

After the Civil War, corporations grew to unprecedented size. The public was suspicious of this concentration of economic power, and politicians responded in 1890 by passing the first antitrust law, the Sherman Antitrust Act. Over the years, antitrust policy has evolved through further legislative acts and amendments, regulatory guidelines and judicial interpretation, which have implications for pricing strategies. Join Ed and Ron as they discuss some of these laws, as well as the economics of price signaling to competitors, which is not a violation of antitrust laws.

Once again, the Long Arm of the Law session lights the Charleston Conference stage! In this year's session, returning favorite attorney Bill Hannay (Schiff Hardin LLP) informs the audience about the latest court cases and rulings that impact us in libraries and the information industry. For example, did you know that in September 2016 the New Delhi high court dismissed suits by three international publishers against the sale of photocopied books and pages in Delhi University? This is a verdict likely to have a wide-reaching impact on copyright laws in India. Could the case have impact more broadly?

Nasir and Matt welcome Leiza Dolghih to discuss a former vice president of Life Time Fitness that used company resources toopen a competing gym. Check out Leiza Dolghih's blog here at www.northtexaslegalnews.com. Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: Welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and add our legal twist. My name’s Nasir Pasha. MATT: And I’m Matt Staub. NASIR: Matthew Staub, and today we are covering non-competes again for the second time this week. Well, the first time wasn’t really non-compete related but it was tangentially related. MATT: Yeah, Monday’s episode, I guess it fell under the non-compete umbrella. We have a guest today – first time having a guess in a while – Leiza Dolghih. She is a litigation attorney out of Dallas, specializing in a few areas here – one which being unfair competition, trade secrets, and non-competes. The reason we’re having her on today is she specializes in this area and we’re talking about a non-compete agreement that was actually held to be enforceable here in Texas and I think it’s going to be a real help to have her on the episode today and discuss. NASIR: It’s one thing for us to talk about transactional work of actually drafting these non-competes but litigating is a whole different issue. So, she’s actually an employment litigation attorney. Leiza, welcome to our podcast! LEIZA: Thank you, guys! Thank you for inviting me. NASIR: I know this is a hard question to start out with, and we’re going to get to our topic, specifically what’s going on, but you’re in Texas, our firm’s based out of California. Non-competes in California are just you just don’t see them and, when you do see them, you know there’s going to be a problem because the court’s not going to enforce it. What is going on in Texas? Why do they tolerate these non-competes? LEIZA: Well, you know, as we say, it’s not that they tolerate. Actually, for most non-competes, we have a non-compete statute that says that non-compete agreements are allowed as long as they’re reasonable and there are a few other requirements that you have to meet. I feel fairly recently the way that courts interpreted the statutes is they made it very hard for employers to enforce their agreements. Well, that changed about five years ago. The courts came out with a new interpretation and it’s slowly catching on. The employers are now realizing that they can actually use the agreement to tie up their employees. A lot of employees are still under the impression that these agreements are not enforceable so they sign them, you know, without giving it a second thought. Of course, when they part ways, it becomes a big issue. So, I’m seeing disagreements constantly. I’m seeing them across all industries and I’m seeing all kinds of language ranging from something very ridiculous – you know, five years you can’t work anywhere in the country – to very specific limitations and everything in-between. So, Texas, I mean, they have a very good – or we have a very good – body of law on this issue. NASIR: Yeah, but you’re right about those year terms. I mean, you get a wide range of what people do and we’ll talk about what we find reasonable and how to actually determine that which I have a feeling we’re not going to get a straight answer from you on that but let’s talk about what’s going on. Actually, it’s a Houston case, right? What’s going on with this? What is it? Global Gym? LEIZA: Right. Well, it actually involves Life Time Fitness. Are you guys aware of that chain? NASIR: No, I’m just trying to think, I just joined Equinox but I talked about that in another episode. I’ve never heard of that. LEIZA: It’s a higher-end gym that also has a spa built in. In this case, it’s in Houston. A vice-president and his wife were working for a Life Time Fitness location that was very profitable and the VP was interested in opening his own competing spa which is, you know, it’s okay, it’s allowed. You can do that as long as he doesn’t violate his...
