Patent Infringement Litigation. Nonpracticing companies are firms that do not create inventions, rather buy patents in order to sell licenses to other organizations interested in utilizing or commercializing the invention. Nonproducing companies like Bellevue, Washington-based Intellectual Ventures, argue that licensing of patent rights supports innovation, as they are able to broker access to companies and individuals that have the capacity to do something with the intellectual property (e.g. develop or apply the technology in the marketplace). Nonproducing companies aggressively defend their patents by filing patent infringement lawsuits in federal court against companies or groups of companies that that they believe have infringed on their patents. The focus on litigation is in fact a core component of these firms

In the Apollo Group stimulation, “Addressing international legal and ethical issues” (2004), CadMex and Gentura have a pharmaceutical drug partnership located in Candore. The partnership specifies contracts for International Sale of Goods as a choice of law and International Arbitration to solve disputes. Later an outbreak of a viral infection creates a health emergency in Candore, and the Candorean government places threat to suspend the ViroBlax drug patent. If CadMex refuses to provide sublicensing of ViroBlax, the Candorean government will suspend CadMex’s patent on ViroBlax and provide compulsory licenses for domestic manufacture of generic ViroBlax. According to “World Trade Organization” (2012), “compulsory licensing is when a government allows someone else to produce the patented product or process without the consent of the patent owner. It is one of the flexibilities on patent protection included in the WTO’s agreement on intellectual property” (What is compulsory licensing?). Sublicensing will take time and money to ensure the other pharmaceutical companies meet CadMex standards, and production requirements. However allowing sublicensing will preclude the need to suspend the patent and CadMex will still receive royalty payments due as

The United States Patent Office (“USPTO”) faces criticism from its users and legislators that the timeliness of the patent process and ultimate quality of issued patents are inadequate. In order to address this criticism Congress made several changes to the authorities of the USPTO in the last decade and considered more changes in 2009. Nevertheless, problems persist and some stakeholders argue that reorganizing the USPTO as a government corporation would best alleviate these problems by broadening its authorities even further and releasing it from external constraints.

Lawson for their patent infringement case against Howell Jewelry. Howell Jewelry will lose the patent case because the memo will surface as an incriminating document in discovery of the lawsuit. Howell will have to abandon their new process and make arrangements for repayment of loss revenue to Greene. The public opinion in this case will side with Greene damaging the reputation of Howell’s business. Howell should resolve the patent infringement before going to court. The number of patent application is growing steadily,1 and we can easily hear the news of patent wars in global business, such as “Apple vs. Samsung” and “Microsoft vs. Motorola.” Even a firm called a “patent troll” which collects patents and makes profits from the litigation against the infringement has appeared in the market. The patent holders, however, do not always win the trial; roughly a half of all litigated patents are found to be invalid.2 Furthermore, not every conflict over patent rights involves a lawsuit. In fact, a majority of the disputes are settled; some of them are resolved peacefully before they go to court, and others are settled in the middle of the trial. Given these various scenarios, it is natural to attempt to integrate a series of events regarding patent rights and to clarify the mechanism behind them.

Their evidence suggests two conclusions, the effects of patents on follow-on innovation appear to be quantitatively small, and patent protection on human genes does not appear to have hindered follow-on innovation,

Recently, Congress and the courts in the United States have been active in reining in what many have seen as patent system that has run amuck. In the process, they have placed a number of limits on patent holders’ ability to effectively and successfully enforce patents. But as opportunities to enforce intellectual property through patent suits have been narrowed, another IP door appears to be opening.

Bankruptcy law refers to a legal process initiated by a business or individual who is unable to pay their debts and seeks to have those debts reorganized or discharged by the courts. The three most common bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 (individual petitions), Chapter 11 (business reorganization

It allows patent holder to license someone else to use his invention as per the agreed terms.

There are rules, laws and procedures for filling bankruptcy, in the united states it is governed by the federal law, states are not allowed in legislating in this aspect of law.

Bankruptcy Courts; Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases involving personal, business, or farm bankruptcy. This means a bankruptcy case cannot be filed in state court. Through the bankruptcy process, individuals or businesses that can no longer pay their creditors may either seek a court-supervised liquidation of their assets, or they may reorganize their financial affairs and work out a plan to pay their debts.

The United States is notorious for many things such as being one of the most powerful and wealthy nations on the planet. However, something that most people don’t know is that the United States has 1.1 million citizens ill with the HIV virus. Something even more astounding is that of those 1.1 million only about 200,000 are receiving medication and have the virus under control due to the high cost of the medication. Many pharmaceutical companies have begun to find gaps within the government patent system. As rivalry has started to grow, many of these pharmaceutical companies are beginning to use product patents to create a monopoly. The ending result is to change the patent law and increase restrictions in order to provide fairness and reasonable prices.

An often repeated example is the way Eli Lilly prevented the Lupin group from entering into the generic market for a drug. It got a patent for about 70 different chemical processes used to make the relevant drug.

Strategic management plays a vital role in most organisations as it consists of formulating and implementing the company’s goals; this is done by taking into account the available resources and doing an analysis of the internal and external environment (Takalkar, 2014). The author of this essay will be identifying and analysing a significant strategic challenge that was faced by a local and global entity from two different industries, furthermore an external and internal analysis will be given. Lastly the author will address how the two organisations were able to overcome the strategic challenge in order to strengthen the strategic positions of the organisations. The local entity that was chosen is Eskom which falls part of the energy industry and for the global entity Samsung was chosen as it falls part of the technology industry. The differences found between Samsung and Eskom are that Samsung provides products that can be seen as a want for its consumers whereas Eskom provides a service which is a need for the general public. A similarity that can be found between the two entities is that both these companies are leading players within the industry they belong to. The reason these two organisations
