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.

Intellectual Property! The concept seems to some individuals to represent an ambiguous abstraction. To others it represents incongruity. But for many, without a doubt, Intellectual Property (IP) is a potent tool. IP is an intangible asset and is a legal concept for which rights are recognised for the human mind’s creativity. Under this specialised law, owners are granted rights to diverse intangible assets such as inventions, words, phrases, symbols, designs, artistic works and such.

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.

How settle my car loan after the dealer company confiscated my car? 1
One of the car companies is filing a case against me regarding the pulling of my car due to not paying my monthly payment, but I was on vacation at that time.
When I came back here to Saudi Arabia, I found my car was pulled by the company and I was searching everywhere. Then I found my car in SNB and they said I need to pay SAR 10,192.
But before that, I already have money to pay my 3 months' credit and they refuse to accept it. Instead, they want me to pay the last payment of SAR 10192.
Now they filed a case against me and I didn't get money to my account.
What will I do?
The bank said I will get only 35% of my salary which is unfair.
Please help me.
