A couple of questions I have:

1. The ownership issue of data & information stored in the cloud.

2. The privacy and security issues.

3. Intellectual Property Issues.

4. Can it be reached by court's discovery process? What is the legitimate process ? Gain permission from the owners of data/information? Or ISPs? And its related law enforcement issue.

5. The recovery and compensation issues of data (or information)lost or damaged.

6. Whether it is an insurable product?

7. How to evaluate the value of such intangible assets?

8. Whether Cloud Computing can fully replace PCs, desktops to dominate markets ? Demand or Supply,which one decides the markets?

Join Hands & Plan an Event for your Business to Safeguard our Oceans and Mother Earth ! Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico

Earth Disaster ~ By Stefany Hung

After BP's Mexico oil platform exploded, the oil has spreaded more widely from US south to north, including the states of Louisiana, Mississippi to Alabama. With the strong coastal winds and currents, the situation is even more worse. The currents may spread it into the Atlantic and the rest of the ocean.

Experts were worried about the spill's impact and warned that the BP oil Spill May cause Earth Ecological Disaster, and its environmental detriments will not be able to be recovered without huge efforts and a long term plan.

What else we can do?


I came out an idea

- Join Hands and Plan an event for your Business to Safeguard our Oceans and Mother Earth!

The business owners who run resorts or hotels nearby beaches in Taiwan, can plan and start an event - Join hands to safeguard our Ocens and Mother Earth!

They can offer some discounts to attract more visitors to the beaches. On one hand, it can increase business incomes; on the other hand, it can raise people's awareness on environmental protection.


My idea is that-

People can hand in hand to form "the figure of Earth" via a human chain.If the event can be held at night, everyone can hold a LED light in green to demonstrate the determination to safeguard our oceans & mother earth!
Music and beach clean-up are parts of the event for sure!

If, after being notified, the network service provider fails to take necessary measures in a timely manner, it shall be jointly and severally liable for any additional harm with the network user.

情.理.法 - 這公平嗎?

情.理.法 - 這公平嗎?

A自B處合法善意受讓經向政府機關辦理註冊登記之商標,同時辦理移轉登記.　A因信賴國家機關所發給之商標專用證,斥資千萬經營並維護該品牌.

七年後,政府機關告知,對不起,國外有個商標(國內未辦理登記) 跟這個商標很像. 很抱歉,我們當初沒審查到,所以我們現在必須把這個商標撤銷, 你不能再使用這個商標了,Good Bye & Good Luck !
問：

1. A 因信賴國家機關所發給之商標專用證,　斥資千萬於該商標之經營及維護上,　政府如擬撤銷這個商標,是否應容許A在一定期間之內處理相關商品？

2. 國家機關因當初審查案未盡完整,致業經依法發給七年-八年之註冊商標,必須被撤銷.問A在七,八年間對於該商標所投入之花費及管銷費用,是否可以申請國賠？

3.　政府機關在撤銷這樣的商標時,有配套之措施嗎?
