In this case, we address whether the government waived its immunity for

A patent has a term of twenty years from the patent application’s effective filing date. 35 U.S.C. § 154(a)(2). Thus, an issued patent’s twenty-year term is measured from the filing date of the parent patent application. An issued patent’s enforceable life thus depends on the length of the PTO’s examination of a patent application. To account for any undue delays in patent examination caused b

Not many people want to be locked up in a federal penitentiary serving a life
sentence. Harlan Salmona does because it beats the alternative, which is being

federal court. Salmona claims that because of a promise ma

The Workers' Compensation system has been described as an historic "trade-off" whereby employees relinquish their right to pursue common-law remedies in exchange for prompt and automatic entitlement to benefits for work-related injuries. Millison v. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 101 N.J. 161, 174, 501 A.2d 505 (1985). That characterization is only broadly accurate. In fact, not every worker inj
