  • Brexit - Deal Or No Deal – What Does This Mean for Your IP?
    TRADE MARKS Brexit - Deal or no deal – what does this mean for your IP? In March this year the UK and the European Commission issued a joint working document which includes guidance on IP issues post Brexit which Barker Brettell commented on here. In that document there is provision for the automatic extension of any granted EU rights to the UK post Brexit and for an application process for the continuation of any pending EU applications into additional UK applications. This joint working document made it clear that although the UK is due to leave the European Union on the 29th March 2019, provided that the UK and the EU arrive at an exit agreement there will be a transition period through to the 31st December 2020, throughout which EU law will still apply within the UK. On the 24th September, mindful of the increasing speculation regarding a ‘no deal’ Brexit, the UK government issued a number of technical notes. The UK government made it clear that it will make unilateral provision for the continuation of all EU rights in the UK if no deal is struck and that those provisions will mirror the joint working document. In such a ‘no deal’ scenario however, the transitional provisions taking us to the end of 2020 will not apply. Rights would be impacted as of the exit date. It could be ‘business as usual’ for IP until the end of 2020 and indeed patents are unaffected by Brexit, however businesses need to be aware of the implications going forward and to consider what action can be taken now to minimise any risks and potential costs.

LIMITATIONS ON COPYRIGHT PROTECTION FOR FORMAT IDEAS IN REALITY TELEVISION PROGRAMMING I. INTRODUCTION Television networks constantly compete to find and produce the next big hit. The shifting economic landscape forged by increasing competition between and among ever-proliferating media platforms, however, places extreme pressure on network profit margins. Fully scripted hour-long dramas and half-hour comedies have become increasingly costly, while delivering diminishing ratings in the key demographics most valued by advertisers. It therefore is not surprising that the reality television genre has become a staple of network schedules. New reality shows are churned out each season.1 The main appeal, of course, is that they are cheap to make and addictive to watch. Networks are able to take ordinary people and create a show without having to pay “A-list” actor salaries and hire teams of writers.2 Many of the most popular programs are unscripted, meaning lower cost for higher ratings. Even where the ratings are flat, such shows are capable of generating higher profit margins through advertising directed to large groups of more readily targeted viewers.

  • The Influence of Personal Characteristics and Reference Dependence in Risky Decision-Making for a High-Stakes Game Show
    Name: Robin Rietveldt Student Number: 329975 Date: 27/06/2012 The influence of personal characteristics and reference dependence in risky decision-making for a high-stakes game show By Robin Rietveldt Erasmus University, Erasmus School of Economics _____________________________________________________________________ Abstract This paper takes a look at the decision-making of contestants in the game show “De Postcode Loterij Miljoenenjacht”, the format that is also known as “Deal or No Deal” in countries outside The Netherlands. I have sampled 41 episodes looking for differences in decision-making caused by gender and age. No significant effects were found but this might be related to the fact that the semi final has characteristics of a “selection round”. In addition I looked for signs of reference dependence in the data. The data showed “Winners” and “Losers” were less likely to deal compared to their “Neutral” counterparts. This proves that the course of the game is relevant to what decision a contestant will make at the end of the round. My theory for “Winners” not only includes effects of reference dependence but also the overvaluation of small probabilities. Keywords Decision making under risk; game show; risk preferences; risk aversion; prospect theory; deal or no deal _____________________________________________________________________ Introduction If I look back on the three years of economics education and have to name one core concept of the program that was of most importance it would be decision-making. Whether it was deciding what investment to pursue, what product to buy in the market or how to decide in games according to game theory. But knowing how to optimally decide, or decide rationally, isn’t everything.

  • Is Deal Or No Deal Cheating Its Contestants?
    OC TM Is Deal or No Deal Cheating Its Contestants? Daniel R. Shifflet, Bowling Green State University As fans of fair contests, we are lead to believe that game shows proceed with mathematical consistency. However, a slight anomaly in this basic assumption can be found while watching the game play of Deal or No Deal. During certain situations it seems like the show is cheating its contestants. Could any mathematician let this question go without further analysis? Of course not! So began an investigation into our hypothesis. Using simple statistical notions like expected value and linear regression, we show how to isolate this math- ematical irregularity and provide some evidence of its existence. What does this mean?

  • Brexit: Deal Or No Deal? Implications for Restructuring and Insolvency
    Brexit: Deal or No Deal? Implications for Restructuring and Insolvency December 3, 2018 AUTHORS Graham Lane | Iben Madsen Introduction The UK is due to exit the European Union (“EU”) on March 29, 2019 at 11pm UK time (i.e. midnight Brussels time) (“Exit Day”). At present, the terms of the UK’s departure remain unclear. In this alert, we consider the impact of Brexit on EU/UK recognition and enforcement of insolvency proceedings in two distinct scenarios: (1) where the UK enters a “transitional period” under the terms of the current EU/UK withdrawal agreement; and (2) where there is a “hard/no deal Brexit”. By “hard/no deal Brexit” we mean the scenario where, for whatever reason, the UK leaves the EU without any formal arrangement in place regarding future relations with the EU, including any agreement as to transitional arrangements for the UK’s departure. In June this year the UK enacted the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“UK Withdrawal Act”), which contains key provisions affecting insolvency law on and after Exit Day. The UK Withdrawal Act preserves EU-derived UK insolvency legislation as well as direct EU insolvency legislation as part of UK law after Exit Day, subject to the terms of any negotiated withdrawal agreement between the UK and the EU and the framework of their future relationship. As at the date of this alert, the terms of the UK’s negotiated arrangements with the EU are contained in the draft withdrawal agreement (“EU/UK Withdrawal Agreement”),1 which was approved by the EU Council on November 25, 2018, but which remains subject to ratification by the UK Parliament in a “meaningful vote” scheduled for December 11, 2018.
