Maltofer is one of Australia's best-selling oral iron therapies for treating iron deficiency in adults and adolescents, particularly when ferrous iron supplements are not well-tolerated or appropriate. Developed by CSL Vifor, a leading global pharmaceutical company based in Australia, Maltofer® is a registered trademark of the company and is currently licensed to Aspen Pharmacare Australia Pty Ltd for the Australian market.

Fun Fact: The trademark "Maltofer" was initially registered in 1996 by Vifor, solely as the word "Maltofer." In 2011, the trademark was updated to include a figurative symbol featuring "two crescents around a disk." The word "Maltofer" is unique and distinctive, and it does not describe the product itself.

Patenting of AI-created products

BrainChip (BRN)

2024-11-02 22:28:34 UTC

BrainChip, an Australian company specializing in neuromorphic AI processing, has focused on building a robust IP portfolio rather than outright selling IP rights. Their Akida technology, which leverages edge AI and on-chip processing for low-power, event-based data processing, has garnered numerous patents globally. BrainChip’s IP strategy centers on licensing its proprietary Akida IP for use in sectors like automotive, IoT, and industrial applications, allowing other companies to integrate Akida’s neuromorphic AI features into their own hardware without BrainChip needing to manufacture and sell the technology directly.

Over the years, BrainChip has built up an impressive patent portfolio (over 17 patents awarded, with many others pending). This portfolio strengthens its competitive positioning and allows the company to generate revenue through partnerships and licensing rather than selling patents outright, enhancing its foothold in the AI industry. Such a strategy aligns with BrainChip’s goal of long-term IP development and commercial partnerships, especially with companies needing efficient edge computing capabilities in real-time processing environments.

This approach to IP helps BrainChip maintain control over its technology’s application and ensures consistent revenue from industries that need adaptable, cutting-edge AI solutions.

James Joyce's Finnegans Wake

2024-11-02 22:35:12 UTC

Finnegans Wake, James Joyce’s last major work, was published in 1939 by Faber and Faber in the UK and by Viking Press in the US. Given this release date, the copyright treatment of Finnegans Wake differs across countries. In the U.S., where works published before 1978 received a 95-year term, the book is under copyright protection until at least 2035. This means that unauthorized reproductions of the text are not permitted in the U.S. until then.

However, in the European Union and other jurisdictions observing a “70 years post-mortem” copyright rule, Finnegans Wake entered the public domain in 2012 (70 years after Joyce’s death in 1941). Therefore, in most of Europe and other countries with similar laws, the text can legally be reproduced, shared, and adapted freely.

In terms of registration, Finnegans Wake was originally copyrighted under Joyce’s publishers, and the rights later passed to the Estate of James Joyce. The Joyce Estate, known for its strict control over the work, defended its copyright
