NOTE: Trade marks marked with an asterisk (*) or an IR number are international applications designating Australia AUSTRALIAN OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF TRADE MARKS 24 April 2008 OFFICIAL NOTICES Change of Practice and Procedure Application for International Registration Governed by the Madrid Protocol designating Australia Practice in Relation to Provisional Refusals and Limitations of International Registrations Designating Australia (IRDAs) Background As a result of the examination or hearings process a provisional refusal may raise matters which can be overcome by a limitation to the goods or services. Previously, IP Australia required the holder to request these changes as limitations through the International Bureau (IB) in accordance with Rule 25(1)(a)(ii) of the Common Regulations. IP Australia has decided, after consultation with the IB, to change the way these requests may be made and handled. Requests for limitation of goods and services which are the subject of a provisional refusal may now be sent directly to IP Australia for consideration and processing, providing they allow the IRDA to proceed. Note: A holder may still choose to request a limitation through the IB under Rule 25(1)(a)(ii) to overcome a provisional refusal. New Practice – in Examination and Opposition Routinely, if no response to a partial provisional refusal is received from the holder within the allowable time, the provisional refusal will be confirmed by the examiner accepting the IRDA for the goods and services to which no refusal applies. If no opposition is filed, protection will be extended to those goods and services that were not the subject of the provisional refusal and the IB will be notified accordingly. The new practice allows a holder, who receives a provisional refusal, to agree to limit the goods and services, and IP Australia will apply the limitation, so long as it would allow the IRDA to proceed. This may only happen through an address for service in Australia. Additionally, examiners, after consideration of a holder’s response to a provisional refusal based on examination, may propose another way to limit the goods or services for which an IRDA could be accepted. Following direct confirmation from the holder’s address for service in Australia, the examiner will then accept the IRDA for those agreed goods and services. In due course, IP Australia will notify the IB of the goods and services for which protection has been granted. In matters of provisional refusal based on opposition, in the course of proceedings including hearings, the holder may agree to limit the goods or services, and this may now be handled directly by IP Australia. The Office will process the limitation that has been agreed by both parties as allowing the matter to proceed and notify the relevant parties accordingly. After the opposition has been decided, dismissed or withdrawn, IP Australia will notify the IB of the goods and services for which protection has been granted.

Prof. Dr. Trudo Dejonghe Voor Sofie 2e Licentiaat Academiejaar 2005-2006 De productieketen van de sportindustrie: Een analyse van de sportgoederenbedrijven Eindverhandeling voorgedragen door Mario Van Dyck tot het behalen van het diploma van licentiaat in de handelswetenschappen o.l.v. Prof. Dr. Trudo Dejonghe De productieketen van de sportindustrie: Een analyse van de sportgoederenbedrijven Abstract Sinds haar ontstaan staat de sportindustrie gelijk aan big business. De pioniers onder de sportgoederenproducenten pasten reeds aan het einde van de 19e eeuw diverse marketingtechnieken toe om hun producten te verkopen, waaronder het onderschrijven van professionele atleten. De opkomst van de tv, de toegenomen participatie en de opkomst van de consumentencultuur tijdens de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw hebben dit proces alleen maar versterkt. De huidige producenten onder wie Nike en Adidas zijn over het algemeen ‘ondernemers zonder ondernemingen’. Vanuit het globale productieketenconcept kan dit verklaard worden. De kerncompetenties zoals: onderzoek en ontwikkeling, ontwerp, financiën, verkoop en marketing blijven behouden. De productie wordt uitbesteed aan onderaannemers in lagelonenlanden in de periferie en/of semi-periferie binnen het huidige wereldsysteem. Nike was één van de eerste bedrijven binnen de industrie die deze uitbestedingstechniek op grote schaal ging toepassen. De economische ontwikkelingen en de intensifiëring van de internationale handel hebben ertoe geleid dat andere spelers deze strategie eveneens zijn gaan toepassen. Verder heeft de huidige economische context tot een verzadigde westerse sportgoederenmarkt geleid.

  • Digital Transformation in the Sports Apparel Industry: the Case of Nike, Inc
    Digital Transformation in the Sports Apparel Industry: The Case of Nike, Inc. Master Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the Degree Master of Science in Management (Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Leadership) Submitted to Prof. DDr. Arno Scharl Lukas J.M. Stangl 1521009 Vienna, 10th August 2020 I AFFIDAVIT I hereby affirm that this Master’s Thesis represents my own written work and that I have used no sources and aids other than those indicated. All passages quoted from publica- tions or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. 10.08.2020 Date Signature I II ABSTRACT The global revenue of the sports apparel industry is larger than it has ever been before. Digital transformation has been a driver for the industry, leading to digital innovations within the industry. This has led to the fall of market leaders while creating opportunities for new market entrants by capturing market share through leveraging new technolo- gies. The company Nike, Inc. has been the market leader in the sports apparel industry for several decades and is known to be a forerunner in innovation. The purpose of this research is to examine how digital transformation has affected Nike, Inc. and the sports apparel industry and how it will shape the future. A secondary aim is to investigate how Nike’s customers perceive these changes and to scrutinize their digital needs and expec- tations. This research furthermore aims to conclude about the digital needs and expec- tations of Nike’s customers and if they align with Nike’s strategy.

The overall success of this industry can be traced back to the growing demand dictated by the decades-long trend of the cult of the body. The market leaders include companies whose origins date back to the 1930s, whose internationalization was of evolutionary nature, and the so-called latecomers,relative newcomers to the market who havegained the reputation of global players in a short time. The aim of this study is to present the world’s largest companies in the athletic apparel and accessories industry (global companies), and define the importance of their capital internationalization in building the international market position. To this end, a variety of sources were consulted, including the Statista, Macrotrends, EquityRT, periodical rankings published by organizations and consulting companies, such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Interbrand, as well as lists of the largest companies presented in the Fortune journal.
