Managing long Covid in the workplace, riding the 4IR wave, securing venture capital funding, and more
In this edition, employers should review their sick leave and other applicable policies to ensure they cater for instances of long Covid, albeit in a general sense, as they are under no obligation to provide extra sick leave. We look at the implications for the continent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and look at why a clear intellectual property strategy is critical to securing venture capital funding.
In addition we outline how to apply for new trade accreditation and report on court guidance for copyright infringements of others' videos. Sars is closing in on cryptocurrencies, while we examine cumbersome proposed amendments to the regulatory environment.
Also companies hit by looting can seek tax relief, while an Australian court has allowed an AI to be listed as the inventor of a patent. All this and more in this edition.
