Hi friends as you know i am a legal adviser in few MNC's recently in my company as very intreasting case has come to my desk i though to share with you and take the opinion of my friends here in this forum.
There is a two publishing houses in NCR one is very old and other one is new in the market however there name is not simmilar but still company is saying that they have used similar trade marks along with that they have filed a case and saying that the author which has written this book have copied there style of Footnotes and there bare acts in the book. I just want to take your help in this that is there any specific style of footnotes which can be copyrighted and also does bare act have anything to do with copyright as they are largely available at public domains and everywhere is the same.
Please give me you valuable suggestion in this and tell me that can footnotes be copyrighted or not though my footnotes and their footnotes are complety different in term of fonts, numbering, the matter of the book also.
Please comments as soon as possible.
Regards
KP Singh
