CONT

Back in 1892 legislation was proposed to grant patent rights for plant inventions. This legislation was supported by many prominent individuals, even Thomas Edison who stated that "nothing that Congress could do to help farming would be of greater value and permanence than to give to the plant breeder the same status as the mechanical and chemical inventors now have through the law. "

CONT

Patent for Plant Inventions. In the case for a plant invention, any person who invents a new and distinct variety of plant which reproduces itself asexually may obtain a plant patent therefor.

OBS

The Plant Patent Act was passed by Congress on May 13, 1930... It was the first legislation anywhere in the world to grant patent rights to plant breeders and was enacted to "afford agriculture, so far as practicable, the same opportunity to participate in the benefits of the patent system as has been given to industry, and thus assist in placing agriculture on a basis of economic equality with industry. "

  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

The common law recognises two types of servitudes namely, easements and profits à prendre. Equity recognises a type of servitude of its own, the restrictive covenant, as well as equitable easements and profits which could arise, for example, where the appropriate formalities for the creation of a common law right had not been complied with. In addition, the doctrine of non-derogation from grant creates rights which, in all important aspects, are servitudes.(Jackson, 1978, p. 2).

«Servitude» est générique dans le système juridique de common law : il englobe notamment les «easements» et «profits à prendre». Cependant, dans certains textes anglais de common law, le terme «servitude» anglais est aussi employé dans le sens strict pour désigner la «servitude» du droit civil; ce n'est pas l'emploi visé ici.

A profit appurtenant ... is a profit, whether several or in common, which by act of parties, actual or presumed, is annexed to some nearby dominant tenement and runs with it. (Megarry & Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 823).

CONT

"Profits à prendre appurtenant" are "against common right" : they are rights attached to the ownership of a particular piece of land, not as the necessary consequence of the original tenure, but because of a grant, prescription or other extraneous means. They cannot be severed or enjoyed apart from the dominant tenement, and they pass with the dominant tenement into the hands of each successive owner.(14 Hals., 4th, p. 119)

While there is difference of opinion as to what constitutes privity of estate in relationships outside of that of landlord and tenant, the weight of authority is to the effect that there is privity of estate when the fact of succession is found to have taken place between covenantor and covenantee, as in a grant of an estate in land made by one of the parties to the other. The modern rule seems to be that either mutuality or succession of interrelationship to the same rights of property creates that privity of estate necessary to enable a covenant to run with the land.(Cartwright, 1972, p. 729).

OBS

Statutes of Limitation are generally regarded as a means of protecting the defendant against a stale or unjust claim. Except in actions chiefly concerned with real property, in which, by the judicial interpretation of the limitation provisions applicable thereto, it has been held that the lapse of the statutory period operates to extinguish the right, "The Limitations Act" operates merely as a bar to the remedy by proceedings in the courts. Except where the statute by its terms absolutely extinguishes the debt or demand itself, the general rule with respect to debts, or more money demands is that statutes of limitation are regarded as barring the remedy, and not as extinguishing the cause of action.

... a right which arose at common law upon the grant of arable land prior to the "Statute of Quia Emptores".

OBS

Before the passing of this statute, when a lord of the manor enfeoffed a person of some parcels of arable land the feoffee thereby became entitled to certain ancillary rights with respect to other land in the manor; after the statute was passed these rights no longer arose upon a grant of the land. Consequently all profits à prendre appendant must have come into existence prior to 1290. Profits à prendre appendant are therefore said to be "of common right".(Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 14, p. 118).

It is the formal agreement to transfer a portion of the intellectual property rights from the owner called licensor to another party called licensee. The grant of a licence implies the agreement of the intellectual property owner not to enforce his/her intellectual property rights against the licensee.

CONT

For a license of intellectual property to be effective, the following must be satisfied : first, one must have ownership of relevant intellectual property or authority from the owner to grant a license; second, the intellectual property must be protected by law or at least eligible for protection; and third, the license must specify what rights with respect to intellectual property it purports to grant to the licensee and reserve to the licensor.
