jetcityimage The NCAA filed a federal lawsuit against DraftKings ( DKNG ) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. The sports organization accused the online sportsbook of trademark infringement tied to the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments. The complaint alleges that DraftKings ( DKNG ) used protected marks such as "March Madness," "Final Four," "Elite Eight," and "Sweet Sixteen," or confusingly similar variations, in its betting products, app interfaces, and marketing campaigns without authorization. As part of its argument, the NCAA maintained that the trademarks are central to branding and monetizing its championships across media, sponsorships, and licensed merchandise, and that DraftKings ( DKNG ) deliberately leveraged them at the peak of public interest to trade on the association’s goodwill. The harm cited was that there is a false impression that the NCAA has endorsed or partnered with DraftKings ( DKNG ), particularly risking confusion among college students and young adults, whom the NCAA describes as especially vulnerable to gambling-related harm. In the suit, the NCAA seeks an emergency temporary restraining order to immediately halt DraftKings' ( DKNG ) use of the contested terms, along with broader injunctive relief, damages, and disgorgement of profits. For its part, DraftKings ( DKNG ) has publicly maintained that its references to “March Madness” and related terms are fair use and protected speech, arguing that it uses them in plain text similarly to how it labels other tournaments, such as the NIT. The court has not yet ruled on the emergency temporary restraining order. More on DraftKings DraftKings: A Better Bet As The 'Super App' Launches (Upgrade) DraftKings Inc.

Ex-hedge fund boss Crispin Odey , facing allegations that he harassed two female receptionists, told a London court that while he thought his advances may have been acceptable when he was younger by the time he was in his 60s the women likely thought he was a “creepy old man.” The founder of Odey Asset Management grabbed and kissed a receptionist in a central London shop store elevator and exchanged sexualized messages with her, leaving the former employee dreading coming to work, according to a lawyer for the Financial Conduct Authority . Odey used “highly degrading and humiliating terms” to describe one of the other receptionists criticizing her clothing as “frumpy,” Clare Sibson, the FCA’s lawyer said in court. “To believe that a 25-year-old was at all interested in a 60-year-old man, that was an old man’s dream. A silly one,” Odey said Tuesday on the first day of his cross examination. Odey stood by his insults, and said he was concerned about the image of the firm, saying “she was the front of house.” Odey is appealing a lifetime ban from UK finance over his “reckless disregard” for governance in dismissing two executive committees from OAM in December 2021 and March 2022. An internal investigation into Odey had discovered at least 46 allegations of “inappropriate conduct” against female employees at his firm over a 17 year period, which led to a final written warning. Almost half of the allegations were from the two receptionists. In another exchange read out in court, Odey sent what he called messages with one of the receptionists after a lunch together and said on Tuesday that their relationship was purely consensual. “Wish it was all afternoon and in bed,” he said. “I can’t wait to have you. You are so delicious. Wonderful to be with,” he said in another. “Such foolery, such fun, such love,” he said. Odey is accused of seeking to frustrate the firm’s disciplinary process by ousting the committees that were set to consider whether he had breached the terms o...

Ares is limiting redemptions at its $10.7 billion private credit fund as alternative asset managers face a surge in such requests. The Ares Strategic Income Fund capped withdrawals at 5% of shares after clients sought to redeem 11.6%, according to a letter to shareholders. The firm expects the granted redemptions to amount to roughly $524.5 million. Asset managers have been hit with a wave of redemption requests amid growing anxiety around the $1.8 trillion private credit market’s lending practices and exposure to businesses that are vulnerable to artificial intelligence disruption. The rapid pace of these requests has led to further questions about whether direct-lending — an illiquid form of leveraged finance — is a suitable asset class for investors looking for pockets of liquidity. Apollo Global Management Inc. on Monday also curbed redemptions from one of its largest non-traded private credit funds for retail investors, with redeeming clients receiving just 45% of their capital. Ares, for its part, emphasized that only a small portion of shareholders sought to redeem. “Notably, the majority of repurchase requests were made by a limited number of family offices and smaller institutions in select geographies who represent less than 1% of our over 20,000 shareholders,” Ares said in its letter to shareholders.

A new hacking group has been rampaging the Internet in a persistent campaign that spreads a self-propagating and never-before-seen backdoor—and curiously a data wiper that targets Iranian machines. The group, tracked under the name TeamPCP, first gained visibility in December, when researchers from security firm Flare observed it unleashing a worm that targeted cloud-hosted platforms that weren’t properly secured. The objective was to build a distributed proxy and scanning infrastructure and then use it to compromise servers for exfiltrating data, deploying ransomware, conducting extortion, and mining cryptocurrency. The group is notable for its skill in large-scale automation and integration of well-known attack techniques. Relentless and constantly evolving More recently, TeamPCP has waged a relentless campaign that uses continuously evolving malware to bring ever more systems under its control. Late last week, it compromised virtually all versions of the widely used Trivy vulnerability scanner in a supply-chain attack after gaining privileged access to the GitHub account of Aqua Security, the Trivy creator.

In this article BABA 9988-HK Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Samuel Boivin | Nurphoto | Getty Images Alibaba on Tuesday announced a new chip designed for agentic capabilities as the Chinese tech giant steps up its semiconductor efforts to fuel its AI push. The XuanTie C950 is a type of chip called a central processing unit (CPU), which Alibaba said will be able to handle the processing of multi-step tasks carried out by AI agents. The term agent refers to an AI system that can carry out a task on behalf of users. The CPU will be installed in data centers and is designed for inferencing, the stage that allows for the actual running of AI models. When it comes to semiconductors and AI, much of the focus so far has been on graphics processing units, or GPUs, a category dominated by tech giant Nvidia . GPUs are critical for training huge AI models because they are able to run multiple calculations at once. Meanwhile, CPUs run general-purpose tasks sequentially , which is key in a world where agents are being designed to carry out specific actions. Alibaba's DAMO Academy, which developed the chip design, said the XuanTie CPUs "can be customized for specific inference patterns, supporting customers in tailoring the chips for their own use." The Chinese tech giant added that when compared to some mainstream products, its CPU achieves over 30% "improvement in performance thanks to its flexibility in customization for specific use cases." The XuanTie C950 is based on RISC-V architecture , which is a rival to the CPU blueprint created by British firm Arm . Companies pay Arm royalties to use its CPU design, whereas RISC-V is effectively a blueprint that can be used for free. Alibaba chip efforts Alibaba has been building its semiconductor capabilities over the past few years, primarily through its T-Head chip division, which this year released an AI chip called the Zhenwu 810E. Alibaba does not sell these chips to other companies but instead sells its AI servic...

Ocugen ( OCGN ) shares lost ~12% in the premarket on Tuesday after the company announced 12-month data from a mid-stage trial for OCU410, its gene therapy for an eye disorder called geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD). Citing topline data from its Phase 2 ArMaDa clinical trial, the company stated that in the optimal medium dose selected for Phase 3 development, the one-time therapy reduced lesion growth by 31% with a statistically significant effect. The trial for 51 patients aged 50 years and older with GA lesions is designed to test single subretinal administration of OCU410 across two arms representing medium and high doses in addition to a placebo arm. Its primary endpoint is the change in GA lesion size at 12 months. Regarding tolerability, the company said that there were no treatment-related serious adverse events, and the experimental therapy continued to indicate a clean safety profile. Ocugen ( OCGN ) announced plans to initiate a Phase 3 registrational trial for OCU410 in Q3 2026, noting that it seeks to file three marketing applications for the drug in three years. In January, citing an analysis of ~50% of patients evaluated at 12 months in ArMaDa, the Pennsylvania-based biotech noted that OCU410 at the medium dose led to a 54% reduction in lesion growth.

BNP Paribas SA completed significant risk transfer deals tied to €5 billion ($5.8 billion) of loans, according to a person familiar with the matter, despite the recent spike in market volatility. The Paris-based lender priced a SRT linked to a portfolio of €4 billion in large corporate loans, said the person, requesting anonymity to discuss a private matter. The lender also completed another SRT linked to a €1 billion pool of high-yield corporate loans, including leveraged buyout debt, the person said. Banks use SRTs as a way to insure loans against default, typically obtaining protection for between 5% and 15% of the loan value. That allows them to increase their solvency ratios and reduce reliance on less shareholder-friendly options such as issuing new equity. It also increases their leeway for new lending, acquisitions or shareholder payouts. The larger deal was issued out of its BNP’s Resonance program , with the lender transferring the portion that’s first in line for any losses, the person said. The so-called first loss piece is equivalent to 5% of the reference portfolio, and was transferred to a single investor following a short competitive process with a limited number of bidders, the person said. The SRT was priced at around 750 basis points over a benchmark, according to people familiar with the matter. The final spread was wider than levels discussed in the first part of the sale process, which took place before the war in the Middle East got underway, they said. A representative for BNP declined to comment. Smaller SRT BNP’s smaller SRT was issued out of its Echo program, the person said. It consisted of transferring a mezzanine portion, which is exposed to medium levels of credit losses, while the lender retained the first-loss and senior tranches, the person said. The SRT was executed on a blind portfolio basis, meaning the bank didn’t disclose the names of borrowers in the portfolio, the person said. The transaction was in part placed via unfunded c...
