In a landmark court case in London, Intel defeated R2 Semiconductor, which was requesting an injunction to prevent the sale of Intel processors due to suspected patent infringement. R2 argued that Intels completely integrated voltage regulators infringed its patent, but the High Court invalidated the claim due to a lack of creativity. The ruling by the court opens the door for Intels products, including the "Ice Lake" server CPUs, even though Intel would have violated the patent if it had been legitimate. This result contrasts one from a German court in February that found Intel to have violated the law however, that decision is presently being appealed. Read More..

India’s Economic Report Advocates Attracting Chinese Investment Over Supply Chain Integration

In contrast to joining Chinas supply chains, Indias most recent economic report suggests luring Chinese investment. Chinese businesses should build facilities in India and export to Western markets, says Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran, rather than import Chinese components for assembly. This strategy attempts to lessen the possibility of export limitations from Beijing while addressing Indias $85 billion trade deficit with China. In light of a 2020 border dispute, Indias Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has shifted her position to favour Chinese investments, changing her cautious approach. Many investment bids are still awaiting clearance, even though some Chinese companies have already invested in India. The continued tensions in the U.S.China trade will also affect the effectiveness of this plan. Read More..

The guidelines suggest that starting on April 1, 2025, there will be an extra 5% decrease in the stability of retail deposits accessed through online and mobile banking. To achieve liquidity coverage ratio LCR standards, banks will probably need more highquality liquid assets HQLA, including government bonds. Because private banks would need to increase their holdings, there will likely be a spike in demand for government bonds. The demand for shorterduration bonds may rise as banks prepare for the new laws, even if the immediate impact on government bond rates may be insignificant. Read More..
