| | Laches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Laches is not entirely analogous to the expiry of the period allowed under a statute of limitations. | | | A defense lawyer raising the defense of laches against a motion for injunctive relief (a form of equitable relief) might argue that the plaintiff comes "waltzing in at the eleventh hour" when it is now too late to grant the relief sought, at least not without causing great harm that the plaintiff could have avoided. | | | A good example of the defense of laches is the case of British Telecom's attempt to collect fees for the use of hypertext. |

| | Legal Definition of 'Laches, Doctrine Of' |
| | But laches may be excused from ignorance of the party's rights; from the obscurity of the transaction; by the pendency of a suit, and; where the party labors under a legal disability, as insanity, infancy and the like. | | | In general, when a party has been guilty of laches in enforcing his right by great delay and lapse of time, this circumstance will at common law prejudice and sometimes operate in bar of a remedy which is discretionary for the court to afford. | | | Laches is similar to 'statute of limitations' except is equitable rather than statutory and is a common affirmative defense raised in civil actions. |

| | Converium: Doctrine of Laches and Patent Infringement Litigation |
| | Laches differs from a statute of limitations in that it fails to constitute a complete defense against patent holders' lawsuits. | | | Laches is recognized as an equitable defense available to defendants in patent infringement litigation under 35 U.S.C. Section 282 (1988). | | | The court laid blame for such evidentiary problems directly on plaintiff's delay and therefore found laches applicable, the presumption valid and sustained the grant of summary judgment on the basis of the presumption by the trial court. |

| | Prosecution laches is not limited to patents filed before the 1995 effective date of GATT implementing legislation or patents not subject to a terminal disclaimer, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled Sept. 18 (Digital Control Inc. v. | | | It denied that this is the case for the patents in suit either because: (1) DCI has voluntarily limited the patents' terms by terminal disclaimer; or (2) the life of the patents has been limited by law under legislation implementing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. | | | Noting that the law of prosecution laches is very unsettled, the court also denied DCI's motion for attorneys' fees. |

| | Prosecution history laches in the case of Lemelson vs |
| | Application of the laches defense requires that the unreasonable delay must be caused by the party against whom the defense is invoked. | | | The laches defense is usually applied under circumstances where a party has delayed in filing a complaint. | | | In applying laches and dismissing his claim, the court reasoned that enforcing the patent after an unexplained nine year delay would be unfair to other inventors who had obtained patents in the area, and to the government, which was allegedly infringing the patent. |

| | DD 7/11 Installment Land Contracts and Laches |
| | The court cited the well settled rule that laches does not arise from a delay or lapse of time alone, but is a delay in enforcing one's rights which works as a disadvantage to another. | | | As the record is unequivocal in showing that the son had use and possession of the land for over fifteen years without making any payments on the contract prejudice is lacking and no defense of laches is permissible. | | | It appears that the son's failure to raise these issues properly in the probate proceeding may bar all of them except laches. |

| | Valutron, N.V. v Pennie & Edmonds (2004 NY Slip Op 51747(U)) |
| | In reaching this conclusion, the court has not finally determined the issue of whether, at trial, evidence of the plaintiffs' familiarity with the doctrine of laches would be admissible on the ground of relevancy. | | | Defendants argue that the doctrine applies to this case since, by bringing a legal malpractice suit based upon an alleged failure to advise plaintiffs about laches and its application to patent infringement actions, plaintiffs have placed their knowledge of laches at issue. | | | In addition, plaintiffs are directed to produce Dr. David Hill for a deposition within sixty days of notice of entry of this order and Dr. Hill is directed to respond to questions regarding communications with patent attorneys to the extent consistent with the court's decision herein. |

| | Cognex - 2002 Press Releases - U.S. SUPREME COURT DENIES LEMELSON PETITION TO REVIEW LACHES DECISION |
| | The doctrine of prosecution laches bars the owner of a patent from enforcing a patent claim if there was an unreasonable delay in seeking the claim from the Patent Office. | | | "A successful laches argument by Cognex would result in most, if not all, of the machine vision claims in Lemelson's patents being ruled invalid. | | | Cognex contends that Lemelson's unreasonable delay in prosecuting certain machine vision patent claims-in many cases more than 30 years after the original 1954 and 1956 applications-constitutes prosecution laches. |

| | It is defined as neglect to assert a right or claim which, taken together with lapse of time and other circumstances causing prejudice to adverse party, operates as bar in court of equity. | | | If an adverse party unreasonably delays informing you of a right or claim and this results in permanent damage to your ability to defend your self then such a claim may be barred from court. | | | If these three elements are met, then the Doctrine of Laches will act as a bar in court. |

| | However, Socrates states that he is too young to speak knowledgably about this matter and must consult his elders—the two older generals. | | | Laches agrees with his friend Nicias that he wishes to help his friends' children but also recommends that Lysimachus consult Socrates. | | | Laches goes as far as to say that if other Athenians had acted as courageously as Socrates had acted during the battle of Delium, in which both Socrates and Laches fought together, then the city would have won the war. |

| | A mere list of examples of some ethical value-even if all are authentic cases of that value-would never provide an adequate analysis of what the value is, nor would it provide an adequate definition of the value term that refers to the value. | | | Definitional knowledge of ethical terms is at least a necessary condition of reliable judging of specific instances of the values they name (Euthyphro 4e-5d, 6e; Laches 189e-190b; Lysis 223b; Greater Hippias 304d-e; Meno 71a-b, 100b; Republic I.354b-c); | | | No one really knows what happens after death, but it is reasonable to think that death is not an evil; there may be an afterlife, in which the souls of the good are rewarded, and the souls of the wicked are punished (Apology 40c-41c; Crito 54b-c; Gorgias 523a-527a). |
