The [Canadian] Charter [of Rights and Freedoms] distinguishes between two separate issues : whether a right has been infringed, and whether the limitation is justified. The complainant bears the burden of showing the infringement of a right(the first step), at which point the burden shifts to the government to justify the limit as a reasonable limit under section 1(the second step). 2, record 1, English, - infringement%20of%20a%20right

La Charte [canadienne des droits et libertés] établit une distinction entre deux questions distinctes : celle de savoir s'il y a eu atteinte à un droit et celle de savoir si la restriction est justifiée. Le plaignant a le fardeau de prouver qu'une atteinte a été portée à un droit (première étape), après quoi il incombe au gouvernement de prouver que la restriction constitue une limite raisonnable au sens de l'article [1] (deuxième étape). 3, record 1, French, - atteinte%20%C3%A0%20un%20droit

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.... A licence prevents that from being unlawful which, but for the licence, would be unlawful; it is a consent by an owner of a right that another person should commit an act which, but for that licence, would be an infringement of the right of the person who gives the licence. 7, record 8, English, - licence

The spelling licence, though still often met with, has no justification in the case of the substantive. In the case of the verb, on the other hand, although the spelling licence is etymologically unobjectionable, license is supported by the analogy of the rule universally adopted in the similar pairs of related words, practice sb., practise vb, prophecy sb., prophecy vb. ... Recent dictionaries, however, almost universally have license both for substantive and verb, either without alternative or in the first place. 8, record 8, English, - licence

En accordant une licence non exclusive, le breveté se réserve le droit d'accorder d'autres licences et d'exploiter lui-même l'invention. En pratique, la conclusion d'une telle licence non exclusive se produit le plus souvent lorsque le breveté réalise qu'il est plus avantageux pour lui d'accorder une telle licence à son concurrent que d'exploiter lui-même l'invention. Ordinairement, lors de la négociation d'un tel contrat, le licencié exige l'inclusion d'une clause dite la plus favorable par laquelle il est prévu que si le breveté accorde une licence plus avantageuse à un tiers, il aura alors droit de bénéficier des mêmes privilèges. 1, record 12, French, - licence%20non%20exclusive
