Action against the infringement of intellectual property

2
Q: IP infringement.
The main company (USA) has sent a Cease & Desist Letter to the previous distributor in the UAE but they do not reply.
They remain using the brand name, showcasing it on their website and spoiling the market with selling off their remaining stock with bargaining prices and without warranty while we are the new authorized distributor.
How to stop this?
Kind regards,
N.V.A.

Copyright in the UAE

Q: Online social community - start-up (seed stage).
Myself and 3 of my partners are currently finalizing investors proposal (pitch deck) to raise funding capital. Prior approaching investors, we wanted to enquire about intellectual property protection and copyrights.
Wanted to get an understanding of how this can be done here in UAE for it to be valid on a global level and how much would it cost. We are looking for brand logo copyright registration, user design/experience copyright registration and potential the idea itself. Would be great to get your advice.
Many thanks,
Aziz

View allCan the landlord request the tenant to pay the chiller in the middle of the contract? 0
I live in Dubai Marina, and the landlord claimed that according to new Dubai Land regulations, the chiller now has to be paid by the person occupying the apartment.
Even though my contract says that the landlord should pay the chiller, they want to implement this mid-contract.
I understand that the terms upon renewal will be renegotiated, but on what grounds can they implement the change mid-contract?
Does a new DLD regulation precede a tenancy contract? Moreover, I am receiving a disconnection notice from the chiller company due to non-payment.
What can I do if this happens?
Please advise.

Cleaner's resignation with 30-day notice in incomplete contract 0
Hello,
Good afternoon!
My friend works as a cleaner for a cleaning company and she now wants to resign with a 30-day notice. However, she has not completed the two-year contract and has only served for 16 months.
Additionally, she has not taken any vacation leave. The sad part is that when she signed the offer letter, she did not receive a copy of it and only signed it.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know if she would have to pay or if her boss has the right to not accept the resignation if the notice period mentioned in the offer letter is more than a month.
Her boss has not provided her with any kind of proof that she can use in the future if anything happens.
