- ItemBriefings(Centro de Estudios en Línea, 2024) Heyra Vegas Escobar; Centro de Estudios en LíneaTo 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.
- ItemIntellectual property(Centro de Estudios en Línea, 2024) Heyra Vegas Escobar; Centro de Estudios en LíneaWe 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).
