Q2 (15%): Patent related questions. (3%) What are the mostly important requirements for patentability? The most important part of patent application is claim. The law requires at least one claim should be contained in a patent application to particularly point out and distinctly claim the subject matter, in order to be defined and examined by authorities. The claims should include one or more independent claims and/ or dependent claims. An independent claim is a stand-alone claim without any other

plausible to apply for the patent Toronto patent office is one of the most important things when we are trying to get the patent for any particular project. We will have to make sure that the project that we are asking the project for is actually acceptable and will add something to the world.

by the government to a corporation, individual, or organization who claims to have first identified the gene. The ability to patent a gene is called complementary DNA. A question stands out concerning gene patenting is whether genes should be treated as owned matter. The U.S. legal system says only products of human ingenuity can be patented, for example, technology, art, laws, etc., products from nature or naturally produced cannot be patented. There is evidence for this for example in the case Diamond

Someone once said, “Loyalty isn’t grey. It’s black and white. You’re either completely loyal, or not loyal at all. And people have to understand this. You can’t be loyal only when it serves you.” In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini expresses a main idea about loyalty. Throughout the story, the author shows us that a way to be good is to be loyal to family and friends. First of all, because Hassan showed his loyalties lay with Amir, he shows he is honorable. For example, when Hassan and
legal system is continuously evolving all around us. Law is a principle, that binds the whole world into behaving in a certain way and stops them from carrying out unquestionable things. It has affected people in a positive way this is because legislation is made to protect the public, as I have learnt during recent years in light of many terror- related incidents. This principle has really inspired me to explore the different concepts of law, to see how a bill could change the way we live forever
1. Define and describe ex post facto laws. An “ex post facto law is one that alters the laws regarding a particular act in such a way as to be detrimental to the substantial rights of an accused person” (Chamelin & Thomas, 2012, p. 15). These laws can happen in three ways: the timing and posting of new or changed laws, increasing punishments after a criminal act, and the decreasing of a state’s burden of proof. The first occurrence of an ex post facto is when a person commits an act before it
SJD1501 Assignment 2 1. What is the difference between law and justice? My understanding of law is that: it is used to govern people. It is set by the government and law is followed by the people. Law is a set of rules as to how people belonging to a certain land/country should behave. These rules determine how a person should be treated and punished if he/she commits a crime. The fear of going against the law is what keeps everyone from being vigilantes or criminals; it’s the reason as to why you
quote is important because it is the first time where the n-word is mentioned in the book. It is exactly a representation of this time period because there were slaves at the time. This quote exemplifies the inequality that was seen throughout the United States of America at the time. During Dr. King’s time he was fighting the inequality. Another time a connection to King’s ideology was seen in the book is when Jim had been kidnapped back into slavery. Huck says, “Don’t ever let on to know us. And if
The Jonestown massacre was a Greek tragedy in the sense that it was a preventable disaster that was caused by hubris. The Jonestown massacre is in short the collective suicide and murder of over 900 followers of Jim Jones. It started with the rise of The People’s Temple, and eventually lead to the creation of a settlement in Guyana where a mass suicide took place with many of the participants being children or unwilling. Several instances throughout this time present Jim Jones’ arrogance that lead
Bill Clinton is known as one of the most powerful speakers in the United States, and he impresses his audience by his speeches and the rhetorical devices that he includes in his speeches and addresses. For example, he effectively delivers his inaugural address with a convincing tone and some of the rhetorical devices such as allusions and strong diction. In his 1993 inaugural address, Clinton discussed the issues that America faced in the 20th century such as health care costs and low wages. He mentioned
historical rulers and laws. Three that have influenced the American legal system the most are Roman laws, moral laws and Hammurabi’s code in my opinion. One legal system that influenced the American legal system are Roman laws. I picked Roman law because it said that law has been defined as the “Art of social control”; a system of rules regulating the conduct of man. The laws of the Roman state, which were observed by subjects for about 13 centuries, from Romulus to Justinian. The laws by Justinian were

There are certain laws in the United States that can prohibit individuals from partaking in their right to vote. The majority of state laws in the U.S. state if you are incarcerated and serving a conviction for a felony you are not permitted to vote until you have been released from jail or prison and/or have been release from parole or probation. Felony convictions result in some of the longest sentences imposed by the judicial system. In fact "prisoners released in 2009 served sentences that were
INTRODUCTION Archaic Roman law, not unlike early Germanic law developed from law revolving around family units. Thus, all Roman law we know and study today has developed from these primitive laws created out of necessity, governing fields such as familial relationships, succession and property. The concept of obligatio developed from the need for law to govern relations which do not always relate to the family unit, such as performance resulting from a binding agreement in the form of a contract
individuals are incarcerated into the United States prison system. As soon as these jailed individuals start their term, they give up multiple rights they had prior to being convicted. Each convicted felon is treated the same regardless of the crime they committed and lose the same amount of rights. The amount of constitutional rights taken away from convicted felons should depend on the severity of their crime. Some may argue that all are seen equal under the eyes of the law and a criminal is a criminal
There are probably as many definitions of critical thinking as there are critical thinkers. One of the requirements for effective critical thinking is the ability to develop useful and practical definitions of key concepts, in light of the perspectives of others and one’s own intellectual experiences. For our purposes here, let’s consider critical thinking to be the intellectual process of defining clear and manageable problems; acquiring unbiased, reliable, and valid information bearing on the problems;
Nil’s neglected son experienced a very brief period of an innocent and blithe lifestyle; however, the baby in Carver Raymond’s “Popular Mechanics” is robbed of its adolescence almost immediately. This short story hyperbolizes the effects that a broken relationship has on a child. The couple fights over possession of the child, the woman thinking, "She would have it, this baby" (Carver 1). Throughout the story, the infant is referred to as an “it”, which implies that the baby’s parent’s view him or
