Subject field(s)
  • Legal Documents
  • International Laws and Legal Documents
  • Patents (Law)
DEF

a person to whom a licence has been granted ....

CONT

A licence differs in its essentials from an assignment. A licence, even though exclusive, does not give the licensee all the rights of the patentee. A licence does not set up rights as between the licensee and the public, but only permits him to do acts that he would otherwise be prohibited from doing. He obtains merely a right of user.

DEF

Bénéficiaire d'une licence de marque, de brevet, etc.

CONT

Le contrat de licence est un contrat par lequel le titulaire d'un monopole d'exploitation concède à une personne en tout ou en partie la jouissance de son droit d'exploitation. Un contrat de cette sorte est le plus souvent à titre onéreux et comporte, à la charge du bénéficiaire, le licencié, l'obligation de verser une somme d'argent, en général sous la forme d'une redevance périodique.

Record 8 2003-07-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Law
  • Sales (Marketing)
CONT

It might have been thought that in a sale of specific goods there would be an implied condition on the part of the seller that the goods were in existence at the time when the contract was made. Since the seller warrants, as we shall see shortly, that he has a right to sell the goods, and since he is in many cases responsible for defects in the quality of the goods, it might seem that a fortiori he should be liable if he has sold non-existent goods.

OBS

non-existent goods: term always used in the plural in this context.

Key term(s)
  • nonexistent goods

Domaine(s)
  • Droit commercial
  • Vente

  • Equipment (Chemistry)
  • Biotechnology
CONT

Micromanipulators are devices for positioning and manipulating microminiature objects such as surgical tools, electrical probes, and fiber optics. To see and contact microminiature objects, micromanipulators must be used in conjunction with microvisualization equipment (high-magnification microscopes). In the field of microelectronics, very-high-resolution optical microscopy is combined with mechanical micromanipulators to provide systems capable of visualizing and positioning electrical probes on elements of 1 micron dimension. Optical components with resolution approaching the limits of visible light (1000X) are used with manipulators of the leadscrew, ball-joint design, and 100-thread-per-inch resolution to provide X-, Y-, and Z-axis positioning sensitivity of about 0.7 microns per degree. Micromanipulator systems may be used to perform a broad range of functions including electrical microprobing of integrated circuits (ICs).

CONT

For example, the major components of a system for microprobing to measure electrical characteristics of microelectronic devices can be divided into four functional areas: optics, device holder manipulator/probe, and accessories.

Key term(s)
  • micro-manipulator

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques industrielles
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
  • Équipement (Chimie)

Appareil permettant, au moyen d'instruments extrêmement déliés (pinces, aiguilles, lames coupantes, etc.), commandés, à la main ou automatiquement, par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme réducteur, d'effectuer diverses interventions sur les objets microscopiques observés dans le champ du microscope ou d'un oculaire grossissant.
