[QUOTE="Jake Rickman, post: 146700, member: 8521"] Hi Marie, Thanks for your message. A few thoughts. This is an instance where your choice of an article to discuss may not be giving you the easiest task to set for yourself. This is because it does not raise straightforwardly legal issues that directly impact on a law firm's ability to advise Apple. What do I mean by this? This article discusses a purely financial performance phenomenon: Apple is posting a slowdown in revenue while underlying profit is improving. This is primarily caused by a modest deterioration in hardware sales while its subscription services have grown. This is a mixed bag of results. Revenue slowdown is not ideal, but this is offset by increased profit, which actually makes Apple's shares more valuable on a fundamentals basis. To me this seems an issue of business strategy and direction rather than anything else. You're doing a good job of hunting for legal issues that this raises. In particular, you would do well to hammer home the connection between Apple's move into the Indian consumer market as a way to bolster its revenue and the jurisdictional issues that raises from a legal perspective. These are good and valid points; you are good at problem spotting. I think your methodology is strong as well. But the topic itself requires you to strain and worker harder than you need to in order to make the commercial news story [B]relevant for a law firm's practice[/B]. If you're interested in intellectual property law and want to discuss Apple, [URL='https://www.ft.com/content/d74477b6-8355-42a9-ae37-7c835880ef9e']here is another FT article[/URL] that summarises Apple's movements into the generative AI space. This raises matters related to IP, consumer protections, compliance and ethics, all of which law firms would be instrumental in helping Apple navigate. Importantly, there is a strong degree of relevance between the commercial topic and a law firm's practice. [/QUOTE]
