Case citation
–
Case citations are formatted differently in different jurisdictions, but generally contain the same key information. A legal citation is a reference to a precedent or authority, such as a case, statute, or treatise. In such citations, it is usual in these jurisdictions to apply square brackets to the year, the Internet brought with it the opportunity for courts to publish their decisions on websites and most published court decisions now appear in that way. They can be found through many national and other websites, such as WorldLII, the resulting flood of unpaginated information has led to numbering of paragraphs and the adoption of a medium-neutral citation system. The conjunction versus is abbreviated to v in Commonwealth countries and to v. in the United States, the abbreviation represents the Latin word versus, which means against. When case titles are read out loud, the v can be pronounced, depending on the context, as and, against, versus, Commonwealth countries follow British legal style, which is quite clear about the correct pronunciation, Civil cases are pronounced with and. For example, Smith v Jones would be pronounced Smith and Jones, Criminal cases are pronounced with against. For example, R v Smith would be pronounced the Crown against Smith, the Latin words Rex, Regina, and versus are all rendered into English. In the United States there is no consensus on the pronunciation of the abbreviation v. Against is a matter of personal style, burger and John Paul Stevens preferred to announce cases at the Supreme Court with against. And is used by law professors, but other law professors regard it as an affectation. The standard case citation format in Australia is, As in Canada, There exist commercial citation guides published by Butterworths and other legal publishing companies, academic citation styles and court citation styles. Each court in Australia may cite the case slightly differently. Australian courts and tribunals have now adopted a neutral citation standard for case law, the format provides a naming system that does not depend on the publication of the case in a law report. Most cases are now published on AustLII using neutral citations, the standard format looks like this, So the above-mentioned Mabo case would then be cited like this, Mabo v Queensland HCA23. There is a unique identifier code for most courts. The court and tribunal identifiers include, Australian Guide to Legal Citation There are a number of standards in Canada. Many legal publishing companies and schools have their own standard for citation, the following format reflects this standard, Hunter v Southam,2 SCR145

Patent
–
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention. An invention is a solution to a technological problem and is a product or a process. Patents are a form of intellectual property, the procedure for granting patents, requirements placed on the patentee, and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements. Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more claims that define the invention. A patent may include many claims, each of which defines a specific property right and these claims must meet relevant patentability requirements, such as novelty, usefulness, and non-obviousness. Nevertheless, there are variations on what is patentable subject matter from country to country, the word patent originates from the Latin patere, which means to lay open. More directly, it is a version of the term letters patent. Similar grants included land patents, which were land grants by early state governments in the USA, and printing patents, a precursor of modern copyright. In modern usage, the term patent usually refers to the granted to anyone who invents any new, useful. The additional qualification utility patent is used to distinguish the primary meaning from these other types of patents. Particular species of patents for inventions include biological patents, business method patents, chemical patents, the period of protection was 10 years. These were mostly in the field of glass making, as Venetians emigrated, they sought similar patent protection in their new homes. This led to the diffusion of patent systems to other countries, by the 16th century, the English Crown would habitually abuse the granting of letters patent for monopolies. After public outcry, King James I of England was forced to revoke all existing monopolies, the Statute became the foundation for later developments in patent law in England and elsewhere. Important developments in patent law emerged during the 18th century through a process of judicial interpretation of the law. During the reign of Queen Anne, patent applications were required to supply a complete specification of the principles of operation of the invention for public access. Influenced by the philosophy of John Locke, the granting of patents began to be viewed as a form of property right. The English legal system became the foundation for patent law in countries with a common law heritage, including the United States, New Zealand, in the Thirteen Colonies, inventors could obtain patents through petition to a given colonys legislature

Tucker Act
–
The Tucker Act is a federal statute of the United States by which the United States government has waived its sovereign immunity with respect to certain lawsuits. Suits may arise out of express or implied contracts to which the government was a party, damages may be liquidated or unliquidated. Suits may be brought for Constitutional claims, particularly taking of property by the government to be compensated under the Fifth Amendment, parties may bring suit for a refund of taxes paid. Explicitly excluded are suits in which a claim is based on a tort by the government, the Tucker Act granted jurisdiction to the Court of Claims over government contract money claims both for breach, and for relief under the contracts in the form of equitable adjustment. As an alternative to proceeding directly against the United States pursuant to the Tucker Act, whether the agency or the Treasury is to pay depends on the congressional intent. This result was not deemed desirable by Congress, which enacted the Wunderlich Act to overturn that decision, and thus the statute restored a significant role to the Court of Claims. In United States v. Carlo Bianchi & Co. in 1963, the court could remand to the board for further testimony, if needed, but could not take any itself, nor make any fact findings. The Bianchi decision appeared to eliminate any function for these commissioners to perform as to most contract disputes clause cases, for they were primarily takers of testimony and fact finders. However, the judges, having found the services of value, were reluctant to dispense with them. The rules were amended for Wunderlich cases only, Ct. Cl, rule 163, to provide that in such cases both parties should file motions for summary judgment, which motions were referred to commissioners for advisory or recommended opinions. That there was no fact issue requiring trial was a conclusion forced by Bianchi, the commissioners usually reviewed the records, received briefs, and heard oral arguments. In other than Wunderlich cases, cross-motions for summary judgment went before the Article III judges with no participation by the commissioners. In Wunderlich cases, the opinion of the commissioner was. Licata v. US postal service Auction Company of America v. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Tucker Act defined

The two cities had a population of 66,330 at the 2010 census, and the metropolitan area had a total population of 136,027. Railroads were quick to see the possibilities of this vast area, by 1874, they had crossed the Red River and had reached the Texas state line. Between February 16 and March 19,1874, trains ran between the Texas border and the Red River, whence passengers and freight were ferried to Fulton to continue by rail. The Red River Bridge opened on March 20,1874, there was keen rivalry between the 1870s railroad builders. The Texas and Pacific Railroad reached across Texas to the Arkansas state line, the border was the logical place for the different railways to connect. On December 8,1873, the Texas and Pacific sold the first town lots for the future city, first to buy was J. W. Davis, who purchased the land where todays Hotel McCartney now stands, opposite Union Station. It is not known who gave Texarkana its name, a popular story credits Colonel Gus Knobel, who surveyed the Iron Mountain Railroad right-of-way from Little Rock to this section to the state line. He allegedly painted TEX-ARK-ANA on a plank and nailed it to a tree, saying, Miller County, on the Arkansas side of the metropolitan area, is probably the only county in the United States that was abolished, only to be reestablished later. Miller County was formed in 1820 to honor James Miller who was Arkansas first governor, Miller County was formed with a large degree of uncertainty as to the location of the line dividing the county and the Mexican boundary. Consequently, settlers felt that Arkansas levied and collected taxes on land that eventually might be held by Mexico, moreover, many who resented the oppression of Texans by the Mexicans were openly declaring allegiance to the Texans. This led to general unrest, and after the Texas Republic was created, so, in 1838, Governor James Conway proposed that the easiest and most effective remedy is the abolition of Miller County to an area which is more patriotic. From that year until 1874, it was a part of Lafayette County and its re-establishment sprung only from the sale of town lots in Texarkana in 1873. Efforts of the town to be incorporated were not realized until October 17,1880, nearly seven years after Texarkana. December 8,1873, is recognized by both cities as the date of organization. Texarkana is located at the junction of Interstate 30 and US highways 59,67,71 and it is bordered by the city of Texarkana, Arkansas, to the east, and by the smaller cities of Nash and Wake Village, Texas, to the west
