The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Now, it is known to all that Essel group (the owner of ZEE TV) is going to organize a new cricket league in India named Indian Cricket League. However, it seems that ICL is going to face problem and some BCCI officials would not want ICL to have a smooth passage. The latest news is that the copyright of the phrase ‘Indian Cricket League’ was bought by someone already. This shocking news has recently been revealed by BCCI vice-president Lalit Modi. However, Mr. Modi has not disclosed the name of that person who own the copyright of this phrase.

India Times reported:

"An individual holds the copyright of the three words Indian Cricket League." Lalit Modi, vice-president, BCCI, said. Mr Modi, however, declined to name the individual. "I cannot reveal who holds the copyright," he said.

Sources indicate that the individual in question, along with the Essel group and other concerned legal and regulating authorities, are trying to sort out the matter. "Otherwise, it could lead to a case of copyright violation by the broadcaster, because technically and legally, the league cannot be called Indian Cricket League," the sources said.

The Essel group official has rejected any such thing. Himanshu Mody, business head of Zee Sports, has said that they did not know anything like that and they are now in the way of registering the name.

 

It seems that the competition is going to face some problems with this copyright issue. However, here the question is that if there is anybody who has already bought the copyright of the Indian Cricket League, then why the person has not come into the scene until now. Really, it is fishy and suspicious and I can assure you that you will see more drama in future about ICL.
