Will it be infringed under copy right act if we use historical data ?

Respected Legal Experts,

We all are aware that whenever cricket matches are conducted, some TV Channel (like STAR TV etc.,) bags the broadcasting / telecast rights from BCCI / Authorized Institution for relaying the live matches through their tv channels,

Whereas, we being a Gaming Company, propose to design and develop a Cricket based game in which we would like to use the exact score pattern of the matches played earlier. So, if we use the same score and ball by ball score as was played earlier, will that be an infringement under Copy Right or any other act and is a violation of any rights ?

Secondly, once copy right is granted how long that will be in force?

I thank the experts in anticipation.

Yours faithfully,

M M Rao.

Deed of donation

Dear sir,
My father has given me deed of donation of a shop measuring 80 sq. feet on 18th of March, 2004 and it was registered in subregistrar's office. The same shop was included as a deed of donation to my brother's son on 21st March, 2004 by wrongful means and also registered at subregistrar's office. Now, my father is no more.

Now my case is in the trial. What verdict I can expect and what section/name of the law deals with this case and if any high court or supreme court's example of this type of case please give me.

I also want to know which deed of donation is correct. The first deed that I got or the second deed that my brother's son got?
Please let me know.

I am contesting in court that after three days of writing a deed in my favor he became unconscious so only he had written another deed on the same property without revoking it and after one month he also died ageing 80.

Purchase of copy right

Dear Sir,
We have purchased the artistic work from the Company and paid the consideration for the same. Now we are applying for the registration of artistic work under copy right act. For that we need to have NOC from Artist. Our Agent says that we have to take the NOC from Employee i.e. Individual who created this artistic work. He said that artistic work are created by natural person and not by unnatural person so NOC would be required from Natural person i.e employee of the company. Please suggest do we need the NOC from the company or employee who created this work.

Two agreed brothers have signed settlement deeds and my mother give written consent to me.After that I serves Legal Notice to the dissentient brother.His advocate replied me in this regard that the above said property is not an ancestral property and blames me for extortion of money.Now I want to know is such property is an ancestral property or not.
