Copyrights provide protection for original works of authorship, such as music, and trademarks cover words, symbols, names, or devices that distinguish a trademark holder’s goods from other goods.There are three general types of patents:Utility Patent: Protection for new processes, machines, manufactured products, or composition of matter. In addition, these patents cover improvements to any of these items.Design Patent: Protection for original designs that are ornamental in nature for manufactured products.Plant Patent: Protection for a new variety of plant that is asexually reproduced.
The holder of a bachelor's degree in business from Sydenham College, Sanjay Paharia has worked as an associate with Florida Gold Dist. since 1996, during which time he has been engaged in the selling of prepaid telecom products. A passionate sports fan, Sanjay Paharia counts the Miami Dolphins as one of his favorite National Football League (NFL) teams.The Dolphins missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season and ninth time in the past 10 seasons after finishing the year with a win-loss record of 7-9. The team won one more game than it had the year prior, but that wasn't enough to save Adam Gase's job, as the head coach was fired on December 31. Through three seasons with Gase as its head coach, the Dolphins posted a combined record of 23-25 and allowed 243 more points than it had scored. Early candidates for Gase's replacement include Vic Fangio and Darren Rizzi, the latter of whom has been with the Dolphins organization since 2010. Miami has had nine different head coaches since the 2004 season.In addition to firing Gase, Dolphins' owner Stephen Ross overhauled the team's management structure by demoting Mike Tannenbaum, who previously served as executive vice-president of football operations, and giving general manager Chris Grier more authority in player personnel decisions. Grier will now report directly to Ross instead of Tannenbaum.
An associate with Florida Gold Dist., Sanjay Paharia has worked extensively with prepaid telecom products. In the recent past, Sanjay Paharia was involved in the calling card industry.The prepaid phone card got its start in Europe in 1975 as a means of fighting a coin shortage and reducing the vandalism rate in pay phones. The prepaid phone cards used a magnetic strip that could be read by some pay phones, though the cards were initially thin and frequently jammed in the reader.In 1990, the phone card known today made its debut. NYNEX introduced its PIN-based calling card, which required the user to dial a toll-free number and enter a PIN before making a long-distance call. All major regional and long-distance providers adopted this system by 1992, and by 1996, calling card sales had become a billion-dollar industry. By the 2000s, calling cards could be found in stores, vending machines, and online.
A graduate of Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics, Sanjay Paharia has worked as an associate for Florida Gold Dist. for more than 20 years. In his free time, Sanjay Paharia enjoys watching a variety of sports, including Green Bay Packers football games.The Green Bay Packers have a long history of developing talented quarterbacks, with legends like Brett Favre, Bart Starr, and Curly Lambeau leading the Wisconsin-based team over its nearly 100-year history. Current quarterback Aaron Rodgers is no different, and is widely considered to be one of the greatest National Football League quarterbacks of all time.To secure their star player, Green Bay recently committed to a four-year extension of Rodgers’ contract—a deal worth a guaranteed $100 million, with room to earn up to an additional $34 million. When signed in August 2018, the deal cemented Rodgers’ status as the highest-paid player in the league, and his signing bonus of $57.5 million was the largest in NFL history.
