Issues in Intellectual Property Insurance
To enhance the value of the assets, intellectual property owners should focus on the following points.During formulation of strategies to get maximum benefit from protocols available to the company are properly secured is a very important step that should be taken into account.
What insurance will litigation against your company trigger that benefits its interests? What new forms of insurance are available to IPOs that will expand opportunities to transfer litigation costs to their insurers? What claims are asserted in litigation that might implicate your opponent's right to a defense and/or indemnity covered by their insurance?Where no notice was provided to insurers of significant intellectual property lawsuits, was constructive notice provided to insurance brokers as well as insurers through the submission of 10-K reports that referenced litigation? Was the insurance broker who received constructive notice the general managing agent for the insurer such that notice to the broker can be deemed notice to the insurer?Can an insurance coverage audit reveal hidden opportunities to recapture monies paid for defense fees and settlements and/or judgments under existing insurance policies (e.g., is there "buried treasure" in previous insurer denials of tendered intellectual property claims)? Given the exposure revealed by a review of past coverage opportunities, is the present insurance portfolio properly attuned to risks the company now confronts? Can knowledge of insurance coverage help corporations reallocate risks arising from licensing activities to better assure against risks posed by defaulting or underperforming licensees? Is the company's existing coverage for corporate counsel adequate, and can new efforts be taken to track corporate litigation, monitoring costs to better preserve their recapture as part of their insurer's defense obligations? Does the company's history of acquisitions, joint venture relationships, and other forms of corporate interaction expand the coverage opportunities available to it in a manner that requires revisitation of the potential for coverage under previously filed and existent lawsuits?
Though the Insurance of Intellectual Property is growing concern for the developing countries. But it is a very important specially to the developed economy like US. Now the US economy is ranging around 13 Trillion Dollar, Japan 4 Trillion Dollar while India is just 1 Trillion Dollar.The issues of IPR Insurance is not a serious matter in the countries which are less efficient in IP assets. Keeping in mind the fact that the 45% of US economy is of intellectual Property and around 50% of total export of US is comprises of Intellectual Property the issues of IPR insurance should taken very seriously and the above quoted points should be properly analysed to maintain the proper growth and development in the field of IPR.

Malihabadi Mango has been granted GI status
Malihabad mangoes have been granted Geographical Indication (GI) status after a two-year campaign by over 100 orchard owners. Malihabad is located in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is renowned for its Dussehari mango variety and last year took its first orders from Russia and Kuwait for the fruit, despite poor production levels. Through this GI certification, the mango growers can now export their mangoes under the brand name Malihabadi, giving these mangoes a distinct identity. Malihabadis mango has had a bad harvest for the past two years and barely made profits for the growers. This time, however, it has been seen good flowering even on younger trees and also on those that had a good crop last year.

Veteran grower Kalimullah Khan, who was awarded a civilian honour by the government in 2008 for mango cultivation and grafting, said the flowering this season is something he has not seen in the last 50 Years. As per Mr. Kalimullah flowering without infestation with common pests like bhunga and laal gujia, which are also responsible for pollination, is a very rare thing this time He said the initial blooming has pleased growers, but added they were still wary about the quality of fruit the season would bring.
As per the senior scientists at the Central Institute of Subtropical Horticulture, the climate change was one of the main reasons for the flowering.The difference in temperature is behind this unusual flowering. While so far it is good news, the fact that there are no pests, including the friendly ones, is shocking.Scientists are studying this.
It is pertinent to mention that the Malihabad had already been identified as a mango belt, granting GI status has boosted the morale of Mango growers that will go in a long way to enhance the export of mango to the foreign countries.
