Issue No. 3/2005 31 NUMBER3 Geneva, May/June 2005 WIPO Magazine/May-June 2005 THINK, IMAGINE, CREATE World IP Day round up DESIGN Cars, fashion and eco-design COPYRIGHT AND THE ECONOMY Film industry boom in India and Argentina WORLD INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ORGANIZATION 32 May-June 2005 WIPO Magazine/ Editor’s Note The response to World IP Day this year was the best yet, with events across the world celebrating the Think, Imagine, Create theme, aimed particularly at young people. This month’s issue picks up the theme with a round-up of World IP Day activities, a meeting with some young inventors from Iran, and the inspiring story of a young architect from Burkina Faso, whose creativity and vision has brought new hope to a community in one of the world’s poorest countries. Having covered developments in the PCT and Madrid system in the previous two issues, we continue the series with a look at the Hague System and industrial designs, including an interview with two users. IP and Business focuses on the design-driven fashion industry, and we dip into the world of product design with a look at some recent award winners and emerging trends.

  • Warren Buffett's Wild Ride at Salomon (Fortune, 1997)
    Warren Buffett's Wild Ride at Salomon (Fortune, 1997) Warren Buffett, interim chairman of Solomon Brothers, Inc., gestures during testimony before a House Commerce subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., Sept. 5, 1991. Photograph by Marcy Nighswander — AP Photos By CAROL J. LOOMIS October 27, 1997 As Sanford I. Weill, 64, the dealmaking CEO of Travelers Group, steps up to his biggest acquisition ever—the purchase of Salomon Inc. for $9 billion—a famous Wall Street figure, Warren E.Buffett, 67, steps out of Salomon. His days there began almost precisely a decade ago, in the early fall of 1987, when his company, Berkshire Hathaway, became Salomon‘s largest shareholder and he moved in as a director. But that was training-wheels stuff, nothing to the high- wire unicycle act that came later: Buffett was physically, emotionally, and really at Salomon for nine months in 1991 and 1992, when the firm’s trading illegalities created a giant sucking sound that brought him in to run the place. Though much has been written about Buffett and Salomon, a lot of what you will read here will be new. I have been a friend of Buffett‘s for about 30 years and have long been a shareholder of Berkshire (though never a shareholder of Salomon). As a friend, I do some editing every year on Buffett‘s well-known annual report, and we have for eons talked about collaborating on a book about his business life. All this has given me many opportunities to learn Buffett‘s thinking. Some of what I’ve gleaned has ended up in FORTUNE stories that I wrote, most especially in an April 11, 1988, article, “The Inside Story of Warren Buffett,” and in an accompanying box, “The Wisdom of Salomon?” But much of what I learned about Buffett‘s experiences at Salomon in 1991 was confidential, embargoed by him because Salomon was both struggling to regain its footing and dealing with big legal problems.

Strategic Audit of Adidas An Undergraduate Honors Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of University Honors Program Requirements University of Nebraska-Lincoln by Mason Wright, BS Computer Science College of Arts and Sciences April 11, 2019 Faculty Mentor: Sam Nelson, Ph.D., Management Abstract Adidas is a well-established brand in the world of sportswear and lifestyle clothing. In recent years, the company has been regaining success after a period of stagnation. Spurring this success is the renewed popularity of old classic shoe models and a surge in the lifestyle clothing trend. While adidas is doing well, it is not the top sportswear company in the world and is far behind in North America. In an attempt to boost the recent success even further, this thesis analyzes the current situation that adidas faces including its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. With this information as a background, this paper then discusses potential new strategies for adidas, ultimately deciding that obtaining a larger number of star athlete endorsements is a strategy that could quickly make a large impact for the company.

Ariel Perelman is advocaat, net zoals z'n vader, maar hij weet nog niet goed wat hij van zijn toekomst moet verwachten. Hij kent de gewoontes, smaken en de dagelijkse bezigheden van zijn gerespecteerde vader door en door. Ariel doet alsof hij niet op zijn vader wil lijken, noch zijn levensweg, op voorhand uitgestippeld, wil volgen, maar hoe meer hij zich daartegen verzet, hoe meer hij op hem lijkt. Hoe ontkomt hij aan de familiegewoontes? Hoeveel tijd is daarvoor nodig? Hoe begint men daaraan? Is er een gebruiksaanwijzing? Naarmate hij zijn eigen identiteit tracht te schetsen, begint zoon Perelman, met enige vrees, de erfenis van zijn afkomst, het onveranderlijke gegeven, kortom datgene wat hij niet kan veranderen, te accepteren. Wat hem problemen schept is zijn identiteit op te bouwen aan de hand van datgene wat hem van zijn vader onderscheidt, van alles wat hij nog moet ontdekken. Family Law is het aangrijpende en intieme verhaal van een vader en een zoon, op weg om hun rol te ontdekken. Family Law (Derecho de Familia) 122 min. / 35 mm / Kleur/ Dolby SRD / Spaans gesproken, Nederlands ondertiteld / Argentinië 2006 Nederlandse theatrale distributie: Cinemien Belgische theatrale distributie: ABC Distribution DVD uitbreng : Homescreen FAMILY LAW – synopsis Le jeune Ariel Perelman est avocat pro-deo et professeur d’université.

This represents the beginning of an ongoing database compilation of target firms both in the Middle East region and around the world that have demonstrated a foreign investment interest and whose sectoral activities fit the comparative advantages of the West Bank and Gaza. This activity was carried out from April to June 2002, during an especially unstable political time in the West Bank and Gaza. Because of this exceedingly difficult situation two elements of the initial scope of work could not be accomplished; training of Palestinians at TSG headquarters and a comprehensive telephone survey of prospective investors.
