Left at about 9 am for The Lalit hotel on Tolstoy Marg in Connaught Place to attend a Seminar on "Emerging Opportunities for Indian Manufacturing Exports in Light of US Unfair Competition Act (UCA)". It mainly related to US Unfair Competition Act (UCA). They invited me as it concerned evaluation of a US law visa-vis Indian law. The discussions centered round piracy of software and intellectual property rights with reference to UCA. One has to be careful while traveling abroad with a laptop. In some international airports, there is a through check of the laptops to find out if any pirated software is used therein. It was informed that in case a pirated software was found, the owner would be detained for questioning to know its source. It is a long drawn detention and could be quite distressing. The Seminar was organized by Indian Institute of Foreign Trade in cooperation with the Assocham.
In the chamber from about 2 to 4,30 pm
Retired to sleep at about 10.15 pm.
