New .nz domain addresses available – 30 September 2014

In case you haven't heard, as of 30 September the New Zealand Domain Name Commission will be offering .nz domains for registration. These new .nz domains will exist alongside the existing .co.nz/.org.nz/.net.nz type second level domains which many of you will already have.

What you should be deciding

If you are a New Zealand business or an international business with a New Zealand domain presence you should be considering whether you should replicate (or replace) your existing .co.nz presence with a .nz domain.

If you are looking at entering the market and considering what New Zealand domain address to use .nz presents a new option for you to consider.

What Should A Licensing Agreement Between Related Businesses Include?

A licensing agreement lets one business use intellectual property another business owns, without transferring ownership. Companies in the same group in New Zealand often share a brand or a system with nothing in writing. Each company remains a separate legal entity under the Companies Act 1993, regardless of who owns the shares. An undocumented arrangement gives the user no right it can prove and no right it can defend. That gap shows up when a shareholder falls out, an entity sells, or a liquidator arrives.

New Zealand | The Changing Shape Of Patent Prosecution

New Zealand patent prosecution has evolved significantly since the Patents Act 2013, developing its own examination culture distinct from Australia. With inventive step now central to examination, fixed divisional deadlines, and compressed prosecution timetables, applicants must make strategic decisions earlier than in other jurisdictions to preserve claim scope and maintain flexibility throughout the patent process.
