Most of my regular readers know that I tend to take off for a couple of months each year… usually one is in the Spring and the other in late summer. In past years I’ve known that it’s time for a break in the action because three things occurred: 1. I started writing articles and by the end of my third or fourth sentence I was typing, “blah, blah, blah.” 2. My ankles became swollen from sitting in my desk chair for far too long. 3. My wife politely… [read post]

Within the frame of the liberal economy. Trade and commercial relations between merchants are carried out by means of post dated checks in Turkey.
The banks give out blank checks to their customers and the merchants use these checks in trading of goods and services by filling them out by giving 6 months, 1 year or longer periods of maturity to them.
The financial crisis in the world has affected profoundly our country; as a result, the merchants were unable to pay their post-dated checks on their… [read post]

Fleet Prison was a notorious London prison by the side of the Fleet River in London. The prison was built in 1197 and was in use until 1844. It was demolished in 1846.
The prison was built in 1197 off what is now Farringdon Street, on the eastern bank of the Fleet River after which it was named. It came into particular prominence from being used as a place of reception for persons committed by the Star Chamber, and, afterwards, for debtors and persons imprisoned for contempt of court by the Court of… [read post]

For many years, California’s Unfair Competition Law had no traditional standing requirements. But since the passage of Proposition 64 in 2004, standing has been required, and standing continues to be litigated regularly. In Law Offices of Higbee v. Expungement Assistance Services, __ Cal.App.4th ___, No. G046778 (4th Dist. March 14, 2013), the Court of Appeal decided that a plaintiff had standing to sue under the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code Section… [read post]

While the Supreme Court has done away with the "useful, concrete and tangible result" test from State Street Bank v. Signature Financial, in Bilski v. Kappos, 8 out of 9 Justices (i.e., everyone except Justice Scalia) signed onto an opinion that recognized that the patent claims in State Street displayed patent eligible subject matter. Indeed, the dissenters in Bilski specifically acknowledged that the claims at issue in State Street did not deal with processes, but dealt with machines. See Footnote… [read post]

Watson? It is an artificially intelligent computer system that is capable of answering questions presented in natural language. It is, in essence, the modern day equivalent to the all knowing Star Trek computer. It is flat out ridiculous to be asking whether the Star Trek omnipotent computer could be patent eligible, that that is where we find ourselves because what makes the computer unique is the software that makes it possible for Watson to perform 80 trillion operations per second. But Federal… [read post]

Perpetuating the myth that the computer is where the magic lies does nothing other than ignore reality. Software is what makes everything happen. or crying out loud, software drives a multitude of machines! Maybe the auto mechanic for Judges Judges Lourie, Dyk, Prost, Reyna and Wallach should remove the software from their cars. Perhaps as they are stranded and forced to walk to work they might have time to contemplate the world they seem to want to force upon the rest of us; a world hat clings to… [read post]

Last month I wrote a news story along the lines that President Obama this spring signing House Resolution 933 after California voters last fall defeated Proposition 37 marked two big defeats for the GMO labeling crowd. HR 933 was dubbed the “Monsanto Protection Act” for its limiting federal courts from ordering genetically modified crops from being destroyed. Failed Prop 37 would have required GM foods sold in California to be labeled.
So it’s only fair that I note that GMO… [read post]
