IP Firms can raise environmental awareness by setting an example
The Advent of Covid-19
Early last year, soon after the Covid-19 outbreak in China, there was a dramatic climate-related event that should have changed the way we look at our ability to control pollution of our planet. This event was the countrywide shuttering of businesses in China, including manufacturing plants, in an effort to curb the spread of the virus. Following on the heels of the Chinese new year break, air pollution dropped dramatically. As seen by NASA satellite images published, inter alia, on 29 February 2020 by the BBC huge areas of China were clear of air pollution; this compared with those same areas being covered by extensive splotches of yellow and red – representing the poisoned air that we associate with many industrial manufacturing areas of the world.
Is our contribution to a cleaner environment through helping our clients advance their green technologies? Are we like doctors who smoke or dieticians who, well, need to go on a diet?
I’ve been in the IP profession since 1985 and a business owner since 1995, and throughout these years I have maintained that we can and must teach by example. And some of the steps that we have taken now in our firm have undoubtedly reduced our carbon footprint, have increased our overall quality of life and, I believe, will also have the effect of providing better services – with a reduced carbon footprint - to our clients.

The Pros & Cons of Multiple Embodiments in an Israel Design Application
by Jeremy M. Ben-David, Managing Partner, JMB Davis Ben-David
|
The ability to file multiple embodiments of the design of what is essentially a single product is a good thing. At least in theory. When taking into account the practical considerations of national Designs Offices in different jurisdictions, it becomes apparent that what may appear to be efficient in terms of cost and administration, may actually add costs, to say nothing of additional administration and potential confusion. This brief piece will look at some of the considerations that should be taken into account when planning design protection in Israel.
In general, there are different situations in which an applicant may consider filing multiple embodiments of what is essentially a single new design or product.

Agreements Protecting Your IP Rights
by Ivan Lipshitz, Adv., Managing Partner, JMB Davis Ben-David
|
Your Intellectual Property is central and vitally important to your business.
