SOMEONE IS STEALING MY CUSTOMERS WITH FAKE LOTION.

#iip_updates . #Information_is_Power . #we_inform_the_uninformed . By BarefootLawyers. Nsubuga’s business is in trouble. One of his rivals keeps taking his lotions and changing the labels so that they are sold as his own. He even caught them pretending to explain the difference between ‘their lotion’ and his own. He wants to do know what the law says about this, because he does not want to just burn their stolen products and get into trouble. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? In business, customers sometimes buy things because of the brand or label on those things. For example, you are likely to buy a shoe from a well known brand. This is why the law protects a business’s name or label on their products to avoid confusion among the customers who may pick up the wrong product unknowingly. This protection is known as a trademark. It is given to any symbol, word, colour, phrase that allows people to easily identify that product. When someone gets a product and puts labels belonging to another business like Nsubuga’s without Nsubuga’s permission, it is known as the offence of passing off. Passing off happens when a person copies the whole external appearance or look-and-feel of a product, including any marks used which are used to identify that particular trademarked product and claiming that the ‘fake’ product is the same as the ‘original’ trademarked one. Nsubuga can ask that the rival doing this to stop and compensate him for using his name. He can also report this matter to the authorities such as UBOS and ask for assistance. He can also sue his rival for damages and compensation for this. :Unsplash

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Parliament also urged Gov’t to provide additional Shs4Bn to UTB to engage international and national media houses in production of positive media stories for improved destination image, following reports of drop in number of tourists from US, Europe and China visiting Uganda. "The National Development Plan targeted to cumulatively attract 281,760 International Tourist arrivals from US, Europe & China but only 67,252 arrivals were registered by the end of the first half of FY 2023/24.

However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...
