THE impact of economic growth on the pace and magnitude of poverty reduction depends to a large extent on the nature of inequality of income arising from the very growth process. As such, the concept of pro-poor growth strategy appears to point out the crucial association of growth and inequality on the extent of poverty reduction. Adaptation of “pro-poor” growth strategy is thus favoured over growth maximisation in Bangladesh’s planning documents as a means of achieving faster decline of poverty, thereby reducing income disparity.

SAN FRANCISCO—The Internet Age is becoming as known for patent litigation as it is for online innovation.

From the makers of computer chips to creators of smartphones and designers of videogames, rivalries have spread from marketplaces to courtrooms with combatants warring over rights to use technology.

“For many years, there was basically a stalemate in the patents arms race with an understanding that companies wouldn’t sue each other,” said Colleen Chien, a law professor at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley.

“That was disrupted by a new business model of patent assertion,” she continued. “It has become acceptable to violate the gentlemen’s agreement of not suing and now it is the new norm.”

The break in the unofficial truce was inspired in part by “patent trolls,” entities that buy or file patents with the sole intent of someday suing entrepreneurs who use the ideas.

Ranks of patent trolls are growing, as is the number of large companies turning to patent litigation not just to cash-in but to gain or protect market terrain, according to Chien.

“What do you call an AOL or a dying company that turns to patent lawsuits?” she asked rhetorically. “Do they become corporate trolls?”

Struggling Internet pioneer Yahoo! last month filed a lawsuit against Facebook accusing the social networking star of infringing on 10 of its patents.

March 22 (Bloomberg) — Stocks and commodities dropped while Treasuries rose for a third day after manufacturing contracted in Europe and China and FedEx Corp. predicted slower growth, undermining confidence in the global economy.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index slipped 0.7 percent to 1,392.84 at 10:39 a.m. in New York and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index fell for a fourth straight day, tumbling 1.2 percent. The euro depreciated 0.4 percent to $1.3162. Ten-year Treasury yields declined four basis points to 2.26 percent, and the rate on the German bund decreased seven basis points to 1.91 percent. Copper and oil plunged more than 2 percent and nickel retreated to the lowest price this year.

A gauge of European manufacturing fell to 47.7 as factory output unexpectedly shrank in Germany and France, according to London-based Markit Economics.
