  • Copyright, Patent and Trademark Law
DEF

an arrangement whereby two parties each licence the other in respect of their own intellectual property.

CONT

There exists a number of situations in which the barter of patent rights is more advantageous to patentees than would be mutual royalty patents. Accordingly, one patentee may agree to licence another under one or more of his own patents in exchange for a license to use one or more patents owned by the other patentee. Such an arrangement is often referred to as cross-licensing. This type of bargain is most commonly struck where one party owns a patent whose claims dominate the claims of one or more patents held by the other. In such a situation, absent a license by each to the other, neither could the owner of the dominant patent make use of inventions covered by the claims of a subservient patent, nor could the owner of a subservient patent make use of the inventions covered by the claims of his own patents.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Administrative Structures (Publ. Admin.)
  • Labour and Employment
DEF

A special duty, charge, or position conferred by an exercise of governmental authority and for a public purpose.

OBS

The most frequent occasions to use the word arise with reference to a duty and power conferred on an individual by the government; and, when this is the connection, "public office" is a usual and more discriminating expression.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Structures de l'administration publique
  • Travail et emploi
CONT

On parle de fonction lorsqu'une personne met son activité au service du public, pour remplir une tâche déterminée, soit directement, soit dans le cadre d'une organisation collective publique ou privée.

OBS

«Fonction» et «charge» se disent tous les deux en parlant des emplois qui relèvent de l'autorité publique. Cependant une «charge» est un emploi de confiance dans la fonction publique comportant une certaine dignité et des responsabilités. «Fonction» désigne l'activité de l'employé plutôt que l'emploi lui-même.
