Royalty Fee agreements beyond patent life:Banned in the US

The agreements related to payment of royalty fees beyond the life of a patent are banned in the US.The US Supreme Court has been petitioned to overturn this law.However the possibility of that happening is low and that is rightly so because the fundamental objective of patenting is social and economic development.Benefits to the patentee cannot be the one and only objective of the patenting process.

Supreme Court on false promise of marriage

 A married woman had sexual relations with the accused, who promised to marry her. The courts initially found the accused guilty of the offense under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), but after a closer examination of the evidence, it was found to be a fallacy. The key issue is whether the woman's consent was given under a false promise or not. There is a difference between a false promise and a breach of promise, and the court must examine each case based on its specific facts. In this case, the woman was mature and intelligent enough to understand the consequences of her actions and her conduct during the relationship suggests that she had willingly betrayed her husband and children. Every breach of promise is not a false promise of marriage and thus every breach of promise will not result in a conviction of rape.
