| | Crown Office - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Nowadays The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service is a Department of the Scottish Executive, led by the Lord Advocate and the Solicitor General for Scotland who are the legal advisers to the Executive and may participate in the proceedings of the Scottish Parliament. | | | The office dates back to Medieval times, with the earliest Lord Advocate being John Ross of Montgrenan who the King appointed as his commissioner at a hearing in Stirling in 1476, then as procurator for another case in Edinburgh in the following year. | | | Once someone has been charged with an offence and remanded in custody, the Crown must bring the case to trial within 110 days or the accused will be admitted to bail. |

| | Patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Typically, an application for a patent is prepared by a professional agent known as a patent attorney or patent agent, who files the application with a patent office. | | | Patent licensing agreements are effectively contracts in which the patent owner (the licensor) agrees not to sue the licensee for infringement of the licensor's patent rights. | | | A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to a person for a fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated, public disclosure of certain details of a device, method, process or composition of matter (substance) (known as an invention) which is new, inventive and useful. |

| | Previously the Crown Office had raised a general concern about the possible human rights implications of release of documents to the petitioners, though it is not known if the Crown Office had any specific concerns on that ground in the present case. | | | The petitioners aver that, under cover of a letter from the Crown Office, dated 1 June 2000, there was sent to them a number of further statements and precognitions and statements which the Crown Office described in their letter as "clearly relevant" to previous specific requests for information made by the petitioners. | | | The petitioners aver that in that letter the Crown Office indicated that it would be helpful to them if the petitioners could specify any particular witnesses whose statements were of interest to the petitioners, otherwise the Crown Office could only provide the statements of those witnesses who appeared to the Crown Office to be relevant. |

| | A History of the United States Patent Office |
| | Arguing for the necessity for expanded patent protection, Eli Whitney wrote to Congress in 1812 that he "was soon reduced to the disagreeable necessity of resorting to the courts of Justice for the protection of his [intellectual] property." Whitney found it difficult to enforce his cotton gin patent against numerous acts of infringement. | | | The Patent Act of 1790 is the result of a compromise between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists that complies with the Intellectual Property Clause of the Constitution. | | | Patent applications took several months to be examined, and less than half (fifty-seven total patents) were eventually issued between the 1790 Act and the Act of 1793. |
