The new issue of GossIP reports some IP, Tech and Food cases which are on the top list of this beginning 2021.

The first case analyzed is the so called Fendi Signboard case: started in 2015, the battle between parallel importers and trademark owners came finally to an end. Quite interesting story, with some reversed decisions.

Still on IP topics, we discuss the trademark of the name of a well-known person: the USA president Joe Biden. Did you know that his name wad trademarked in China since 1999? When you're a public person, you should keep in mind that you don't have privacy.

And talking about privacy, China has been reforming its legislation on protection of personal data and released some Provisions for mobile internet applications to make easier for users to understand how relevant data can be processed.

A big step on the direction of improving the environment is the new Anti Food Waste law: 32 articles summarized in our article and commented to make clear the requirements of the law, the responsibilities of government and various subjects and the regulatory measures that will be taken.

The last article talks about a still hot topic, not only in China: the anti-CoVid vaccination. Analyzed from 2 different points of view – employer and employee – the article makes a point about the measures that can be taken in the office to limit the spreading of the virus and protect the work environment.

Enjoy the reading and get ready for the spring!
