Google wins the case

Internet search giant Google has won a cybersquatting case at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) against an Indian who had tried to block the domain name 'googblog.com'. According to the information available with the WIPO, Geneva-based WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center has ordered the transfer of domain name to the US-based search giant after Herit Shah of Gujarat offered to surrender the disputed name to Google. Google had challenged the registering of domain name 'googblog.com' by Shah at WIPO stating that it was confusingly similar to its trademark on which the company has rights. Cybersquatting is an illegal activity of buying and officially recording an address on the internet that is the name of an existing company or a well-known person, with the intention of selling it to the owner in order to make money. As per the information available with the WIPO, Google filed the complaint against Shah on March 26 this year. However, the disputed name has been registered by Shah since September 25, 2008. WIPO is a specialised agency of the United Nations for developing a balanced and accessible international system in the field of intellectual property rights.

As per the new norms on minimum qualifications for appointment of teachers, NET or SLET would be made mandatory for PG and M.Phil holders for joining lectureship.
However, only Ph.D holders, who have pursued the course as per the UGC's regulation on Ph.D programmes, will get exemption from clearing NET or SLET.

regulation on Ph.D programmes, states that universities will lay down criteria for the faculty to be recognised as research supervisor for M.Phil and Ph.D students.
A supervisor cannot have more than eight Ph.D and five M.Phil scholars at any given point of time. The universities will decide the number of M.Phil and Ph.D seats and advertise them widely. The universities will have to admit M. Phil and Doctoral students through an entrance test.

The entrance will be followed by an interview in which the doctoral students will discuss their research area. After admission to Ph.D, the students will have to do a course work for a minimum period of one semester.

The professionals from outside are eyeing job in India in view of the global recession. India has also started 15 new Central Universities in February this year, creating more job opportunities.
