The parent company of the Haas F1 team (Haas Automation) is suing former Team Principal Guenther Steiner for trade mark infringement in respect of his autobiography, "Surviving to Drive". Haas Automation never consented to Steiner's use of the Haas Automation Trademarks or the Haas Automation Trade Dress on the Accused Product". This follows a lawsuit filed by Steiner in Mecklenburg, North Carolina a couple of days earlier on 1 May against the Haas F1 team claiming unpaid commissions and the unauthorised use of his name, image and likeness on merchandise following the termination of his contract as team principal. The replacement of Steiner as Haas' F1 Team Principal attracted a lot of media attention particularly given his popularity on the Netflix show "Drive to Survive", and it seems that the break-up has turned ugly. The four claims of relief [in the Haas v Steiner case] include registered trademark infringement, trade dress infringement, false designation of origin and California common law unfair business practices.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — I don’t know Dee and Jimmy Haslam. True, Cleveland Browns Stadium generates money; it doesn’t generate much profit — not for the city. The Haslams use the verb “want” to stay in Cleveland; they need to use the word “will” stay in Cleveland. I don’t know. Justice B. Hill grew up on the East Side of Cleveland and still lives there.

By David SachsDaimler Truck and Volvo Group will form a joint venture to develop a software-based manufacturing platform to build digitized heavy-duty vehicles. Both companies will use the platform to produce their own software-led trucks and buses, and the venture will also offer the service to other manufacturers, Daimler said. "It will allow us to build differentiating digital vehicle features with significantly greater speed and efficiency for our truck and bus customers around the globe," Daimler Truck Group Chief Executive Martin Daum said. Daimler Truck and Volvo will remain competitors with distinct products, and will use the platform to create separate end-user applications, Daimler said.

The swift and intensive response was funded largely by a new bucket of money in the state budget for public health and preparedness across California, said Manuel Carmona, Pasadena’s deputy director of public health. Gavin Newsom had agreed to allocate $300 million each year for the state’s chronically underfunded public health system. “That dengue outbreak was stopped because we had more ability to hire, and that was a huge public health success,” she said. Public health officials warned the state would be vulnerable to health and economic disasters should they lose the hard-won funding. “But it’s devastating to think of going back to this boom-and-bust cycle of public health funding that goes neglect, panic, repeat.”

More than a year after pressuring North Dakota to stop helping Native American tribes collect child support payments, the IRS says it intends to let the state do so again. The tax agency is working on a plan to allow North Dakota to resume submitting information on behalf of tribes so their families can receive child-support payments funded by garnishments of tax refunds, IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel told The Washington Post on Thursday. Werfel spoke to The Post days after it reported that hundreds of tribal families had lost access to those child support payments. "The more I have learned about this issue, the more I believe that the best approach is to not disrupt the sharing of this information, because that would have a negative outcome on child support programs," Werfel said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/05/16/irs-child-support-refunds/

51 of 2023IntroductionThe United Arab Emirates (UAE), including its commercial centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, has delivered significant and sustained economic growth over the past several decades. This influx of Russian money was a factor in the European Commission (EC) adding the UAE to its blacklist for money laundering in late 2022. The task force has worked to create a corporate registry of UAE companies, making the list available to the FATF and the international community. One difference between the GDPR and the UAE Data Protection Law is that the latter does not include a ‘legitimate interest’ basis for processing personal data. Multinational companies operating in the UAE must continually assess their compliance with UAE regulatory requirements, including specific money laundering risks.

A group of billionaires and business titans working to shape U.S. public opinion of the war in Gaza privately pressed New York City's mayor last month to send police to disperse pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, according to communications obtained by The Washington Post and people familiar with the group. During the call, some attendees discussed making political donations to Adams, as well as how the chat group's members could pressure Columbia's president and trustees to permit the mayor to send police to the campus to handle protesters, according to chat messages summarizing the conversation. One member of the WhatsApp chat group told The Post he donated $2,100, the maximum legal limit, to Adams that month. Some members also offered to pay for private investigators to assist New York police in handling the protests, the chat log shows - an offer a member of the group reported in the chat that Adams accepted. The New York Police Department is not using and has not used private investigators to help manage protests, a spokeswoman for City Hall said.

The Vatican’s doctrine office overhauled norms first issued in 1978, arguing that they were no longer useful or viable in the internet age. Nowadays, word about apparitions or weeping Madonnas travels quickly and can actually harm the faithful if hoaxers are trying to make money off people's beliefs or manipulate them, the Vatican said. That has been the case for the purported apparitions of Mary that turned Fatima, Portugal, and Lourdes, France, into enormously popular pilgrimage destinations. The revised norms acknowledge the real potential for such abuses and warn that hoaxers will be held accountable, including with canonical penalties. “The church gives the faithful the freedom to pay attention” or not, he said at a news conference.
