Dune, published in 1965 and written by American author Frank Herbert, has been called “the greatest novel in the science fiction canon”, and a movie adaptation of the book is being released this month. Those who are coming to this epic story for the first time may find it very familiar, especially if they have even a cursory knowledge of Star Wars.
From a desert planet to an evil empire, there
2021 has been full of unpredictability, and among its many surprises was the reunion of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. This unlikely recoupling had the Internet swiftly resurrecting the couple’s former portmanteau nickname — Bennifer (or, as some witty meme-makers preferred, Againnifer.)
Will these Hollywood stars make it work the second time around? One possible way to predict their odds is
When the world was in the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic and most borders were closed in 2020, the catwalks of Paris were enlivened by a dash of Indonesian culture thanks to the Christian Dior spring-summer 2021 ready-to-wear fashion show, which featured traditional Ikat Endek fabric handmade by weavers in Bali.
Also known as Wastra or Kain Endek, this style of textile involves dyeing the warp
Makan means “to eat” in Malay, and as the title of a cookbook featuring Southeast Asian cuisine, it’s pretty perfect. So it’s not surprising that London-based chef Elizabeth Haigh – who was born in Singapore and whose mother is Chinese Singaporean – named her first cookbook Makan.
When it arrived in bookstores earlier this year, “Makan was billed as something of a culmination of Haigh’s ascent
For a company that made its name by designing gaming hardware beloved by gamers worldwide, this review of Razer’s first gaming chair last year perhaps stung a little: “It looks like Razer decided to largely copy one of today’s oft-cited favorites: the new $499 Razer Iskur is a dead ringer for the similarly-priced Secretlab Omega and Titan,” said The Verge of Razer’s entry into the red-hot gaming c

A recent survey conducted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is an eye-opener for innovators, indicating that while the global content market has grown to US$2.4 trillion, the number of specialised mechanisms for resolving B2B digital IP disputes have not caught up to market needs.

No Time To Die is the 25th entry in the James Bond movie franchise, and like every 007 flick made by Eon Productions since this debonair spy appeared on the silver screen in 1962, it features the iconic James Bond theme. You can probably hear it in your head right now — “the one with the dum-dee-dee-DUM-dum surf guitar line and the walloping orchestral charts dripping with danger”, as Chicago Trib
In a digital world, where economic value is created before products are manufactured and before services are executed, the value of IP should get much greater emphasis than is currently the case. Ironically, this is often least appreciated by the innovators who create this value, especially when they pitch their ideas to prospective clients and investors.
The International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property, known as AIPPI (Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle), is the world’s leading non-profit association dedicated to the development and improvement of laws for IP protection.
Based in Switzerland, it has over 8,000 members from 131 countries, and works to promote the protection
