    Briefings
    (Centro de Estudios en Línea, 2024) Heyra Vegas Escobar; Centro de Estudios en Línea
    To sum up, we can say that the elements of a case brief are: Evaluation, Issues and Holdings, Procedural history, Facts, Reasoning, Identification of the case. Remember that the purpose of a brief is to remind you of the important details that make the case significant in terms of the law. A brief should be brief. Overly long or cumbersome briefs are not very helpful because you will not be able to skim them easily when you review your notes. On the other hand, a brief that is too short will be equally unhelpful because it lacks sufficient information to refresh your memory.

    Intellectual property
    (Centro de Estudios en Línea, 2024) Heyra Vegas Escobar; Centro de Estudios en Línea
    We are going to sum-up on the words of Fisher (2022), intellectual-property law, the legal regulations governing an individual’s or an organization’s right to control the use or dissemination of ideas or information. Various systems of legal rules exist that empower persons and organizations to exercise such control. Copyright law confers upon the creators of “original forms of expression” (e.g., books, movies, musical compositions, and works of art) exclusive rights to reproduce, adapt, and publicly perform their creations. Patent law enables the inventors of new products and processes to prevent others from making, using, or selling their inventions. Trademark law empowers the sellers of goods and services to apply distinctive words or symbols to their products and to prevent their competitors from using the same or confusingly similar insignia or phrasing. Finally, trade-secret law prohibits rival companies from making use of wrongfully obtained confidential commercially valuable information (e.g., soft-drink formulas or secret marketing strategies).

    The law of contracts and obligations
    (Centro de Estudios en Línea, 2024) Heyra Vegas Escobar; Centro de Estudios en Línea
    A contract has a logical structure: the names of the parties, the background to the contracts, the definition terms and clauses. According to Mason and Atkins (2008), the parties are people or companies who are entering into the contracts. The recitals are the background to the contracts and the reasons why the parties are entering into the contract. The definition section is how certain words must be interpreted when they are used in the contract. The key obligation/duties are the most important things that each party agree to do. The delivery of goods/services is the time and where the key obligations will be carried out. There are some clauses that you will find in commercial contracts. The term clause mentions the duration of the contract. Termination clause contains information about the expiration of the contract. Confidential clause expresses the information that must remain secret. To sum up, it is important to know the elements of a contract because they determine whether or not a contract is legally binding. Knowing the elements of a contract can help you avoid entering into agreements that are not legally binding.
