1. Intellectual property law grants the owner of IP the right to prevent others from

copying, using or exploiting their IP without their permission. There are many types of IP

protected by intellectual property law which include trade mark as well which protects

distinctive words, phrases and symbol. In Coca- Cola Company v All-Fect Distributors

4. Under the law of tort, the employer is generally held liable for the negligent conduct of

the employee in the course of their employment. (Lockwood, 2011, page- 149). However,

the fundamental question appears before the court is to determine whether the person

caused or suffered the injury can be entitled as employee or not. According to South

Australian legal service commission, vicarious liability occurs where one person is held liable

for the negligent actions of another. The time limit for bringing the claim is 3 year. The

traditional test to determine whether a worker is an employee or an independent

contractor is the control test. If an employer has the right to tell what and how the worker

will carry out the designated work then that worker can be tagged as employer.
