Standard Licensing Template For University Of Akron Startups, Drew Horton
Standard Licensing Template For University Of Akron Startups, Drew Horton
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
In order to facilitate fast, equitable, and effective sublicensing to University of Akron technology startups, spinoffs, and spinouts, an express license was developed. This expresses license was developed by benchmarking existing terms in order to determine market rates.

These results were then tabulated and statistically analyzed in order to determine a series of startup friendly terms that support the University of Akron’s interests. A series of express licenses were then developed from this data. These …
Check Payment: Finality Under The Uniform Commercial Code, John P. Finan
Check Payment: Finality Under The Uniform Commercial Code, John P. Finan
Akron Law Review
May a Bank which pays a check by mistake recover the payment? The answer has traditionally depended upon the law of restitution as modified to fit the peculiar necessities of the law of bills and notes.' Such law determines whether payment may be recovered by balancing the equities between the parties. The leading case in this field is Price v. Neal, which holds that if the payor and the person paid are equally innocent, the law will not shift the loss from one innocent person to another. In Price the signature of the drawer was forged. Unlike the Negotiable Instruments …
Section 542(C) Of The Bankruptcy Reform Act Of 1978 And Section 4-303 Of The Ucc: A Less Than Perfect Fit?, John P. Finan
Section 542(C) Of The Bankruptcy Reform Act Of 1978 And Section 4-303 Of The Ucc: A Less Than Perfect Fit?, John P. Finan
Akron Law Review
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) 4-303 addresses two areas where the UCC and the Bankruptcy Code intersect. The first relates to the vulnerability of drawee banks that honor checks after their customer has taken bankruptcy (has filed a voluntary petition or is the defendant in an involuntary case); the second relates to the timing of transfers made by check under 547 of the Bankruptcy Code (the preference section). In both areas there is a less than perfect fit between the Bankruptcy Code and UCC 4-303. The first area poses problems for practitioners whose clients have received notice of bankruptcy in …

From Bigelow To Shapero: Steps Along The Way In Attorney Advertising, Horace E. Johns
From Bigelow To Shapero: Steps Along The Way In Attorney Advertising, Horace E. Johns
Akron Law Review
In essence, the rationale for denying attorneys the right to advertise was to protect the public from overly-zealous attorneys who might be inclined to utilize unscrupulous methods to take advantage of unknowing clients.
Five reasons have been offered to support bans on advertising; (1) protection of consumers from misrepresentation concerning both price and the likelihood of successful litigation; (2) commercialization of the legal profession, resulting in neglect of clients; (3) prevention of overcharging and the securing of too many cases by attorneys to cover the costs of advertising; (4) protection of the bar's integrity; and (5) initiation of too many …

Bringing Down The Barriers: American Laws That Impede Trade With The Cis, Arthur M. Dula, Lynne M. Tracy, Renee A. Rubino
Akron Law Review
It is necessary first to establish whether current trade restrictions apply to all former constituent parts of the Soviet Union or only to Russia. Second, the American-Russian trade relationship resembles a minefield. Some of the most powerful trade restrictions remain firmly in place. Others have been defused. This article will attempt to provide some guidance through the minefield. Finally, attention will be given to pending legislation that affects trade with Russia. Hopefully, this analysis will provide some insight into: (1) the past U.S. trade with the former Soviet Union; (2) where the relationship is now; and (3) what direction it …

Stolen Art, Looted Antiquities, And The Insurable Interest Requirement, Robert L. Tucker
Stolen Art, Looted Antiquities, And The Insurable Interest Requirement, Robert L. Tucker
Akron Law Faculty Publications
Trafficking in stolen art and looted antiquities is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. Stolen art and looted antiquities are ultimately sold to museums or private collectors. Sometimes the purchasers acquire them in good faith. But other times, the purchasers know, suspect, or willfully blind themselves to the possibility that the piece was stolen or illegally excavated and exported up the chain of title.
This problem is compounded by customs and course of dealing in the art and antiquities trade. Dealers generally decline to provide meaningful information to prospective purchasers about the provenance of a piece, and sophisticated purchasers customarily acquiesce in …
