Rooibos: the name to defend

[Rowan Forster] Rooibos certainly does make the headlines. That soothing cup of tea that so many of us enjoy was big news a few years back when an American company announced that it had a US trade mark registration for the name Rooibos, and that it would be able to block South African exporters of rooibos tea from using the name in the US.

Identity theft scams: protecting yourself from rent fraud

[Michelle Dickens] Rent is, in most cases, the biggest monthly expense for the average consumer. So it shouldn't come as a surprise then that scam artists are out to target landlords through identity theft in an effort to avoid paying their dues.

Firefighting

[Owen Dean] Australia is notorious for being a country plagued by rampant bush fires. Over the years, valuable agricultural land, forestry, residential areas and even towns have been threatened or wiped out by uncontrollable bush fires. These bush fires have given rise to considerable damage and even loss of life. It is, perhaps, therefore not surprising that Australians should have a pathological fear of fire imbued in their psyches. There is an involuntary will to fight fire whenever smoke appears.

Watches and Competition Law

[Alexis Apostolidis] I am obsessed with watches - there I have said it! Aside from their aesthetic characteristics, the subject matter of many design registrations, and their mechanical complications, subject to patent registrations covering minute repeaters, mechanical alarms, tourbillions, hydraulically powered movements and the like I didn't think watches could grab my interest any more than they do.

An anthem to ignorance: The case of Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika
