Wisconsin Patent Acquisition In The Final Frontier: Creating A Void, Nicholas J. Thibodeau
Wisconsin Patent Acquisition In The Final Frontier: Creating A Void, Nicholas J. Thibodeau
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
In early 2006, the Wisconsin Legislature passed 2005 Wisconsin Act 335, creating the Wisconsin Aerospace Authority (WAA). Unique to this particular act is the enumeration of the power to acquire intellectual property by the WAA. While granting them the power to acquire intellectual property is not unique, there is an interesting problem with that acquisition: the Act does not conform to the Parker Doctrine, and thus allows the WAA to be subject to antitrust litigation in its intellectual property acquisition under the proper circumstances.

The Varying Meaning And Legal Effect Of The Word "Void", Abraham J. Levin
The Varying Meaning And Legal Effect Of The Word "Void", Abraham J. Levin
Michigan Law Review

In its narrowest sense the, meaning of a word is the single effect which is given to it in the specific case. Insofar as nature repeats itself are we able to build up concepts and symbols which function in substantially the same way in different cases. But the mind must always be ready to discard an accepted definition of a word symbol for the particular legal effect which the circumstances demand. The same word or symbol with the …
