    China trade mark law disappoints
    China, Sweden and New Zealand have all amended their trade mark laws or made proposals to do so in the past few months. The news was good for patent owners in the latter two countries, but less so in China. The latest draft of amendments to its Trade Mark Act disappointed brand owners, who had hoped that officials would use the law to get tougher on bad faith registrations.

    Making movies available for downloading without the right holder's permission is copyright infringement. The movie must be hosted before it can be linked to, and such hosting is infringement. However, since films can be uploaded and stored anywhere, it is the internet service providers (ISPs) which link to the pirate films that provide a more effective target to sue to prevent such linking and thereby to minimise downloading than the parties uploading films to the internet.

    Letter from the editor
    I clearly remember watching Stanley Kubricks' 2001: A Space Odyssey when I was a teenager. It was abstract, both in method and presentation. It made little more sense than French films like Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville, but it presented such a grand vision, in such grand style, that you just stared credulously at the apes and that big, black tablet.
