The introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India. The movement towards GST was articulated by the Union Finance Minister in his budget speech in 2006-2007. After a lot of deliberation, the Goods and Services Act 2016 was enacted. It is one indirect tax for the entire country. It has the benefit of removing the cascading tax effect, involves lesser compliances and has rationalized the tax structure.

“Fashion is part of the daily air and it changes all the time, with all the events. You can even see the approaching of a revolution in clothes. You can see and feel everything in clothes.” – Diana Vreeland (Noted columnist of Fashion industry)

Fashion Law or Apparel Law is that branch of law which covers the issues which arise throughout the life of an apparel or accessory. Intellectual property (or “IP”) plays an important in this industry due to the need to protect “creations of the mind,” the novel designs, the unique marks, etc. This Fashion industry is a commercial sector entity and also involves issues relating to Contract laws and various commercial laws. Fashion law is a rapidly growing specialty that deals with aspects of intellectual property, including copyright and trademark law, business law, licensing, textiles, merchandising, and, on occasion, the import/export side of customs.

It is claimed that Fashion law has been in existence since the establishment of Fashion houses, however it wasn’t an established field nor was it required. During the olden times, suits relating to duplication of items did not exist as designers were rather flattered to see replicas of their designs. Nowadays, designers have become aware of their rights and there has been a drastic change in their mentality and with the help of their legal teams their area of concentration has extended to the field of law in order to exercise their rights.

Luxury brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Versace, H&M, Skechers, Steve Madden have filed various suits over the past decade in relation to infringement of their designs.

“If you want to have a program for moving out into the universe, you have to think in centuries not in decades.”- Freeman Dyson (British theoretical physicist)

Humankind has always dreamt about space while looking at the sky. Although, the principles of rocketry were first tested more than 2,000 years ago, but it’s really only been in the past 70 years or so that these machines have been used for applications in space exploration. Outer Space makes our daily lives easier with the various satellites that provide telecommunication, broadcasting, observational and positioning services. It is very exigent in nature, thereby demanding development of new technologies and new activities. It is however considered to be void legally.

With the advent of globalization and rapid development, many start-ups like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic etc. have been multiplying the arena of space activities, which makes it vital for a regulatory instrument and legislation to be in place to govern these activities. A conventional legal environment will aid in the growth of the space domain.

Space as an investment theme is likely to impact a number of industries beyond Aerospace & Defense, such as IT Hardware and Telecom sectors and it is estimated that the global space industry could generate revenue of $1.1 trillion or more in 2040.

A silent revolution can be witnessed happening with the space technology. The phenomenon of ‘democratization of space industry’ is encouraging the increase in participation of more people and/or organizations in the space sector. Anne Hale Miglarese, CEO, Radiant.Earth, puts it: “The transformation of the space industry is largely driven by innovations in launch and satellite manufacturing technology.”
