JAL bankruptcy would cost banks $7.6 bn: report
Creditors of debt-ridden Japan Airlines (JAL) would incur loss of some $7.6 billion if the carrier enters a bankruptcy process, a report said today.

'Skyline' termed generic
The Supreme Court last week ruled that ‘Skyline’ is not a specific word on which a company can make a trade mark claim, as it has become a ‘generic’ name. In India 117 companies including software firms are using the word as part of their name. In the US there are 10 educational institutions with the same name as the first word. In the UK also there are two such institutions. Therefore, one company could not stake claim to the word in the name of trademark. The court made this ruling while dismissing the appeal case, Skyline Education Institute (India) Ltd vs S L Vaswani. It affirmed the judgement of the Delhi high court in this case, with minor modifications regarding admission of students to one institution. Both were educational institutions operating around the capital and they were litigating over the word ‘Skyline’.
