Diego Maradona’s heirs win EU trademark fight

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 06:46:53 GMT

BRUSSELS — The EU’s Hand of God has ruled. Heirs to Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona have won a battle over the use of the late star’s name for several brands in the European Union, the General Court of the EU ruled Tuesday.Maradona, who died at 60 in November 2020, had registered a trademark under his name for clothing, footwear, hospitality and IT services with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in 2008.After his death, the 1986 World Cup winner’s former lawyer, Matias Morla, applied in January 2021 to get the trademark transferred to a company he had created, called Sattvica.“The Court dismisses Sattvica’s action,” the lower court of the Court of Justice of the EU said in a statement.“The documents produced by that company do not formally justify an assignment of the trade mark in its favour under a contract signed between the two parties (Sattvica and Maradona),” the statement added.“Furthermore, a...

Howie Carr: Massachusetts overrun by undocumented Democrats

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 06:46:53 GMT

Maura Healey would be happy.But no – like so many other Democrat politicians, she’s done a complete 180 and is now delivering a not-so-subtle message to the foreign freeloaders swarming across the border in search of free stuff, forever.As she warned on a local TV chat show Sunday: “There are a lot of places in the country where people can go once they cross into the United States.”Really? Where exactly are the human smugglers and fentanyl dealers and 13-year-old pregnant Guatemalans going to get more free stuff than they can grab on the dole here?Isn’t this exactly what the Democrats of Massachusetts wanted? At least until the illegals started showing up in their million-dollar neighborhoods.Every day, you hear about the celebrations of diversity that these undocumented Democrats are contributing to our rainbow mosaic of life in Massachuse...

International Monetary Fund warns Europe against prematurely declaring victory over inflation

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 06:46:53 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The European Central Bank and other policymakers across Europe need to keep interest rates at current elevated levels until they’re sure inflation is under control despite sluggish growth, the International Monetary Fund said Wednesday, warning against “premature celebration” as inflation declines from its peak. The Washington-based IMF said that cost of underestimating inflation’s persistence could be painfully high and result in another painful round of rate hikes that could rob the economy of a large chunk of growth. The European Central Bank and the other central banks that aren’t part of the 20-country eurozone “are reaching the peak of their interest rate cycles, while some have started to reduce policy rates,” the IMF said in its twice-yearly regional economic outlook for Europe. “Nonetheless, a prolonged restrictive stance is still necessary to ensure that inflation moves back to target.”Historically, it takes an average of three y...
