Samantha develops a new type of comb that effectively removes loose dog hair and eliminates problems with shedding. Samantha had

never seen such a comb on the market and was very surprised when she received notification that she was being sued for patent infringement by the holder of a patent on a similar type of comb. Samantha investigates and determines that the earlier patent was valid. Her friend Harry, a first year law student told her that she could not be guilty of patent infringement because she was not aware of the earlier patent, and that she should proceed to at least sell the rest of her inventory. Assuming the validity of the earlier patent, which of the following is true regarding Harry's statement that Samantha could not be guilty of patent infringement because she was unaware of the earlier patent when she began marketing her combs?

Answer:

Harry was incorrect, and Samantha can be held liable for direct patent infringement

Explanation:

In the court of law it is difficult to prove that Samantha did not know that the earlier patent existed. As, far as the court knows she made a comb which was identical to the one of the patent.

She would not be able to sell the rest of her inventory she would be held guilty of infringing the patent whether she had known or not known.

So, Harry's statement was wrong.

Useful dialogues in moral reasoning usually involve numerous analogies and . In such dialogues, the nature and degree of rarely
laila [671]

Answer:

The analogical dialogue adds to the real dialogue the imaginative, transcendent facet, loaded with symbolic and connotative elements, bringing us closer to the multi-semantic nature of the concepts. Analogy, as an imaginative and creative resource, adds liveliness, fantasy.

Explanation:

The knowledge and use of analog processes results in the improvement of the four areas of language proficiency for the following reasons. In the first place, they promote the objectification of thought since analogical elaboration requires reflection and this, in turn, allows the appropriation of knowledge and facilitates its communicability. In this way, the territory of mere solipsistic speculation is abandoned and becomes a true mechanism of representation and transformation, that is, it places the subject in a reality capable of being modified. Likewise, it evidences the argumentative capacity of the issuer and opens the capacity for dialogue between thought and individual, between individual and reality and between subjects.

When the analogy is established, the narrow gates of human experience are opened, they are resized, they are given depth by revealing non-apparent meanings thanks to the relationship between essentially different beings. It is necessary to emphasize this last benefit, the analogy manages to surprise because it reveals contents that in a first examination may not be perceivable, but that unquestionably conform to the message and when not perceived, impose themselves on the receiver, leaving it at the mercy of the purpose of the message itself, locating it in a territory where questioning, dialogue or criticism are unlikely.

1. No taxation Powers: after the Revolutionary War, the United States had contracted very large debts with allied European powers, notably France. These debts were constantly accruing due to interests and individual, states refused to pay any portion of them. This provoked economic retaliatory measures from Allied powers and even though economic prosperity was improving, these policies prevented the American economy to develop. Furthermore, there was a rebellion known as the Shays” rebellion where farmers took arms to resist perceived economic injustices. Because there was no federal taxation, the central government had no resources to set up a federal army and Benjamin Lincoln, a former government official had to finance a private army out of his own money to suppress the rebellion.

2. No unified national judiciary: Each state had its court system but because there were no federal courts, disputes between states were frequent and unsettled. Tensions between states threatened national unity.

The Constitution, rapidly corrected these two issues by levying taxes for the operations of government and the funding of armed forces. It also allowed for the creation of a federal judiciary which helped organize jurisdictions and laws and to settle legal disputes between the different states.
