A New Era in ECB: Transforming India’s Financial Landscape The RBI’s proposed changes to the External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) framework mark a pivotal shift towards a more liberalised, market-driven, and globally aligned borrowing regime.    By broadening the horizon of eligible lenders and borrowers and simplifying offshore borrowing procedures, these reforms aim to improve access to capital while ensuring strong prudential oversight.    This note compares the Foreign Exchange Management (Borrowing and Lending) Regulations, 2018, with the Draft (Fourth Amendment) Regulations, 2025, highlighting key impacts and transformations that could shape the future of India’s cross-border financing. 📄 Read our insights on how these changes could redefine India’s access to global capital and stay tune for more!    #RBI #ECB #RegulatoryReform #IndiaFinance #LegaLogic

Balancing the Scales ⚖️ Indian family law has evolved to protect women against exploitation - but it also recognises the need to prevent misuse of protective provisions. Courts have increasingly emphasised fairness, due process and gender neutrality in matrimonial disputes. From the Supreme Court’s caution in Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar to recent rulings like Dara Lakshmi Narayana v. State of Telangana (2024) and Rupak Jha v. Jyoti Jha (2025), the judiciary continues to reinforce that justice must protect both the vulnerable and the wrongfully accused. Read how the law is ensuring a balanced approach in family matters - protecting rights, preventing misuse and promoting true equality. #FamilyLaw #LegalAwareness #GenderNeutralJustice #IndianLaw #LegaLogic #LawSimplyPut

Companies “Double Dipping” to Ensure Dual Protection of Sound Marks From Netflix’s iconic “ta-dum” to Paytm’s “Paytm Karo”, sound marks are transforming brand recall. But protecting them isn’t simple - which is why many businesses are turning to “double protection”, securing their audio identities under both copyright and trademark law. Key takeaways you don’t want to miss: ✔️ Copyright protects originality - stopping unauthorized copying of jingles and audio logos. ✔️ Trademark law ensures distinctiveness - preventing deceptively similar sounds from confusing consumers. ✔️ Double protection offers stronger enforcement against infringement from all angles. ✔️ Not every sound qualifies - functional or generic sounds often fail the legal test. As India embraces non-traditional trademarks, double protection is fast becoming a strategic necessity for brands seeking exclusivity and wider inclusivity. Curious how your brand can secure its unique sound? At LegaLogic, we guide businesses through the complexities of audio branding protection. #LegaLogic #IntellectualProperty #TrademarkLaw #CopyrightLaw #SoundMarks #AudioBranding #BrandProtection
