For investors looking to weed out climate laggards from portfolios, these are vital questions but existing guidelines on emissions reporting and new rules due to come in for the United States and Europe are unlikely to provide hard answers. The United States is on track to announce similar rules this year and the corporate standard, first launched in 2001 and revised in 2004, is also embedded in other international emissions reporting standards. Nonetheless, many investors scrutinise carbon emissions data to gauge how polluting a company is, how it compares with rivals and how this might affect its bottom line and share price. Another area of investor concern is how companies account for their own energy use, or Scope 2 emissions. The GHGP allows companies to buy green energy to offset their emissions, using contractual instruments such as renewable energy certificates, and reflect this in their reporting.

Representatives for the companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment and additional details. Manhattan Beach, California-based Skechers sued Hermès last year, alleging its Eclair and Envol sneakers infringe two Skechers design patents covering the undulating "Massage Fit" soles in its "Go Walk" walking shoes. Skechers said the soles of Hermès' shoes were "substantially the same" as its soles and requested an unspecified amount of money damages. Skechers has also sued Fila, Reebok, Steve Madden and other shoemakers in the past for infringing "Go Walk" design patents, in cases that later settled.
REUTERS/Stefan WermuthMarch 25 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge has ruled that an online library operated by the nonprofit organization Internet Archive infringed the copyrights of four major U.S. publishers by lending out digitally scanned copies of their books. The San Francisco-based non-profit over the past decade has scanned millions of print books and lent out the digital copies for free. But Koeltl said there was nothing "transformative" about Internet Archive's digital book copies that would warrant "fair use" protection, as its e-books merely replaced the authorized copies publishers themselves license to traditional libraries. "Although IA has the right to lend print books it lawfully acquired, it does not have the right to scan those books and lend the digital copies en masse," he wrote. Internet Archive promised an appeal, saying the ruling "holds back access to information in the digital age, harming all readers, everywhere."

Companies Hermes International SCA FollowNEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Hermes International SCA (HRMS.PA) urged a U.S. jury on Monday to find that a creator of non-fungible tokens violated its trademark for Birkin bags, while lawyers for the "MetaBirkins" maker countered that the images were art. "He never tried to mislead anyone into believing that the MetaBirkins came from Hermes," Millsaps said, arguing that Rothschild wanted credit for the project. Warshavsky said Hermes was working on its own Birkin NFTs at the time, and accused Rothschild of "cybersquatting" by trying to beat the company to the market. He said Hermes would not have brought the lawsuit if Rothschild had complied with a December 2021 cease-and-desist letter demanding he stop selling the NFTs. Jonathan Harris, another lawyer for Rothschild, said his client added a disclaimer stating that Hermes was not associated with the NFTs after he received the letter.
He suffered a cardiac arrest moments after making a tackle and had to have his heartbeat restored on the field (here). In the UK, Dr Steven Cox, chief executive of charity Cardiac Risk on the Young (CRY), also told Reuters via email that sudden cardiac death in young people “is sadly not a new phenomenon”. The authors also noted that this was “likely... a significant underestimate” of the true incidence of cardiac death in the young. Another study published in 2022 by PLOS medicine found acute COVID-19 was associated with a 5.8x increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including a 6.4x increased risk of atrial arrythmias in the month after infection. Experts say there is no research that shows a link between COVID-19 vaccines and athletes collapsing or dying from sudden cardiac arrest.

REUTERS/Amr Abdallah DalshCAIRO, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Shipping traffic in the Suez Canal was proceeding normally on Monday after tugs towed a cargo vessel that broke down during its passage through the waterway, the Canal Authority said. The M/V Glory, which was sailing to China, suffered a technical fault when it was 38km into its passage southward through the canal, before being towed by four tugs to a repair area, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) said in a statement. The Suez Canal is one of the world's busiest waterways and the shortest shipping route between Europe and Asia. In 2021, a huge container ship, the Ever Given, became stuck in high winds across a southern section of the canal, blocking traffic for six days before it could be dislodged.

REUTERS/Andrew KellyWASHINGTON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department said on Tuesday it had reached an agreement with Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google resolving a dispute with the search engine giant over the loss of data responsive to a 2016 search warrant. The government said it was a "first-of-its-kind resolution" that would result in Google reforming "its legal process compliance program to ensure timely and complete responses to legal process such as subpoenas and search warrants." The company told a U.S. court it had spent over $90 million "on additional resources, systems, and staffing to implement legal process compliance program improvements." The Justice Department said an independent compliance professional will be hired to serve as an outside third party related to Google’s compliance upgrades. Google will assemble reports and updates regarding the compliance program that will go to the government, the Google Compliance Steering Committee and Alphabet board committees.
Google Agrees to Compliance Reforms in DOJ Settlement
  + stars: | 2022-10-25 | by ( Richard Vanderford | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +2 min
Alphabet Inc.’s Google has agreed to improve its compliance program in a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department, which said the search giant lost data federal investigators sought in connection with a probe into a cryptocurrency exchange. The DOJ said Tuesday that a third-party independent compliance professional will monitor whether Google holds up its end of the deal. Under the agreement, Google will be required to reform and upgrade the compliance program that handles responses to legal demands such as subpoenas and search warrants. Prosecutors obtained a warrant in 2016 for the data Google held, but Google and the DOJ litigated over the warrant through 2017 and 2018, the DOJ said. Google also created tools so the data wouldn’t be backed up stateside as the dispute unfolded, the DOJ said.

Autoritatea Canalului Suez (SCA) a reținut nava și echipajul într-un lac aflat la mijlocul căii navigabile, începând cu 29 martie. Vasul aflat sub proprietate japoneză a rămas blocat pe diagonală în Canalul Suez timp de șase zile la finalul lunii martie, perturbând comerțul mondial. Autoritățile japoneze au anunțat că acordul va fi semnat miercuri, în cadrul ceremoniei, iar participanții la eveniment vor putea să vadă nava plecând. SCA a înregistrat venituri de 3 miliarde de dolari în primele șase luni din 2021, în creștere cu 8,8% comparativ cu aceeași perioadă din anul precedent, în ciuda întreruperii cauzată de Ever Given.

Egiptul a decis să reducă semnificativ valoarea despăgubirilor cerute de la proprietarul japonez al navei ''Ever Given'', care în luna martie a blocat timp de şase zile Canalul Suez, provocând pierderi enorme. Autoritatea Canalului Suez (SCA) cere 550 de milioane de dolari, după ce inițial stabilise o sumă de 916 milioane. La finalul lunii martie, Canalul Suez a fost blocat timp de aproape o săptămână de nava ''Ever Given", cu o lungime de 400 de metri, care a eșuat pe diagonala Suezului, una dintre cele mai aglomerate rute de navigaţie ale lumii. Autoritatea Canalului Suez a solicitat inițial despăgubiri în valoare de 916 milioane de dolari de la firma japoneză Shoei Kisen, care deține nava, şi a sechestrat nava port-container în așteptarea sumei cerute. În prezent, acesta are o lungime de 190 de mile, o adâncime de 24 de metri şi o lăţime de 203 de metri.

Egiptul vrea să lărgească Canalul Suez pentru a evita pe viitor crearea „ambuteiajelor” marineAutoritatea Canalului Suez a anunțat că intenționează să lărgească și să rezolve problemele existente pe această porțiune. Oficialii fac aceste schimbări în speranța de a evita repetarea haosului din luna martie, când nava-cargo Ever Given a eșuat în canalul Suez. Șeful Autorității Canalului Suez (SCA), Osama Rabie, a declarat că o porțiune a căii navigabile de 18,6 mile va fi lărgită cu aproximativ 40 de metri și adâncită cu 10 metri pentru a îmbunătăți mișcarea navelor în zonă. Președintele egiptean Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi a subliniat că nu vrea să mobilizeze finanțări publice „uriașe” pentru proiect, dar nu a menționat suma. În prezent, acesta are o lungime de 190 de mile, o adâncime de 24 de metri și o lățime de 203 de metri.

Ordinul de sechestrare a navei a fost emis de un tribunal din oraşul Ismailia. Nava Ever Given are 400 de metri lungime și cântărește 200.000 de tone, având o capacitate maximă de 20.000 de containere. Blocarea Canalului Suez a perturbat unele lanţuri mondiale de aprovizionare, în condiţiile în care fluxurile mondiale de transport erau oricum afectate de pandemie. Pierderile provocate de blocarea navei Ever Given în Canalul Suez sunt estimate la un miliard de dolari. Prin canalul Suez tranzitează circa 30% din traficul maritim mondial de transport containere şi circa 12% din comerţul global de bunuri.

Nava Ever Given, cu o lungime de 400 de metri, a eşuat pe diagonala canalului, din cauza vântului puternic însoţit de o furtună de nisip care a redus vizibilitatea, blocând ambele sensuri de navigaţie.
