Varumärkesrätten är territoriell, till skillnad från Internet, en av våra idag viktigaste marknadsplatser, som är globalt. Ett resultat av varumärkesrättens territorialitet och det faktum att rättigheterna till ett varumärke följer registrerings- eller inarbetningslandets gränser är att det är möjligt för ett varumärke att ägas av olika innehavare i olika länder. Vilket kan leda till problem när sTrademark law is territorial, contrary to one of today’s most important market places - the Internet, which is a global medium. Since the exclusive right to a trademark follows the boundaries of its country of registration or incorporation, it is possible for the same trademarks to be registered by different owners in different countries, something that can lead to problems on the Internet. The bo

Den som utsätts för ett brott har med stöd av nödvärnsbestämmelsen i 24 kap 1 § BrB rätt att försvara sig. Självklart måste det finnas gränser för hur mycket våld som i sådana situationer får användas. Därför anges i bestämmelsen att våldet inte får ha varit ”uppenbart oförsvarligt”. Trots att man överskridit rätten till nödvärn kan man enligt svensk rätt gå fri från ansvar. Gärningen ska enligt A person who is being subjected to a crime has, according to Chapter 24 Section 1 Brottsbalken, a right to defend himself. Naturally the right to self-defence must have some kind of limit. Therefore the provision states that the violence used cannot be “clearly indefensible” Even though an offender has exceeded the right to self-defence he or she can still be excused according to Swedish law.

Vilka mangroverötter vill marina djur helst bo på? Stora delar av världens tropiska kuster är bevuxna av mangrove. Här vadar träden i vattnet och skjuter hela tiden ut nya luftrötter för att ta över ytterligare en bit hav. Inte så många skulle få för sig att snorkla på en sådan här plats. Gör man ändå det möts man, åtminstone i Karibien, av en explosion av färger och liv. Alger och mängder av fasEffect of habitat heterogeneity on marine epibiont assemblages associated with mangrove roots In coastal forests of red mangrove, prop roots extend into the seawater and serve as substrate for assemblages of algae and sessile marine organisms. These assemblages exhibit extreme variability on very small special scales – two neighbouring prop roots might be colonized by completely distinct assembla
