The Securities and Exchange Board of India ('SEBI') introduced the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014 ('RA Regulations') with the objective of promoting investor interest, and enhancing transparency and accountability of investment advisors.

The RA Regulations primarily introduced mandatory registration requirement of 'research analysts' with SEBI, qualification thresholds, norms for maintenance of records and codes of conduct with the objective of protecting the investors and maintaining the integrity of the securities market.

The Situs: The Ever-expanding Territorial Jurisdiction Of Internet Infringements

The Delhi High Court's recent ruling in Kohinoor Seed Fields has dramatically expanded territorial jurisdiction for online intellectual property disputes, holding that mere website accessibility is sufficient to establish jurisdiction. This decision conflicts with earlier precedents requiring purposeful targeting of customers, creating uncertainty about where IP infringement cases can be filed in India's internet era.
