  • Milan Pharmaceuticals Case Summary

    820 Words  | 2 Pages

    The case between Milan Pharmaceuticals and the St. Regis tribe relates to the patents that the tribe received from Allergan for its Restasis eye drops and the Tribe’s motion to dismiss the proceedings of the IPR system based on its sovereign immunity. American drugmaker Allergan made a pact with the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe (“the Tribe”) in September 2017 that officially transferred six of the company’s controverted patent ownerships for Restasis to the Tribe. The deal outlined that Allergan was to pay the tribe an annual royalty of $15 million each year, including an upfront charge of $13.75 million, to retain a license to particular rights to the patents. So, Allergan gave the Tribe the rights to Restasis, and the tribe licensed them back to Allergan. The transfer, however, came just a week before the reviewing of the patents by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) following challenges

  • Sam Monahan Dropped His Car Off For Repair At Cranston Nissan

    1121 Words  | 3 Pages

    A customer, Sam Monahan, dropped his car off for repair at Cranston Nissan on August 28th, with a quoted repair time of three to four days. The ensuing three weeks consist of a litany of issues involving the repaired vehicle cropping up again and again. It is important to note that none of these issues involved the initial reason for the car being dropped off for servicing. The majority of Sam’s issues were sent to Jim Boyd, the body shop manager. On multiple occasions from September 1st to the 6th, Jim Boyd failed to return the car to Sam in proper working condition, with often one repair creating another issue. After multiple failed attempts and billing issues, Sam began to deal with Ted Simon who is manager of the service department. Ted, as did Jim, promised to make the required repairs and return the car in working order. From September 8th to the 11th, the vehicle was still not returned to a suitable condition and contained delays from ordering parts and poor quality control. Jim had since passed his responsibilities to a worker in named Larry in the shop. Finally, on September 13th the vehicle was returned to Sam but still not fully repaired until the last minute.

    Workers' compensation laws became necessary at the turn of the century, when injured workers were faced with rising medical costs and lost time. In those days, an injured employee had to prove that the employer was at fault, due either to an unsafe workplace, lack of safe tools, failing to warn of dangers or failing to furnish adequate help. If the employer was not at fault, the employee received no compensation. Even if the employer was at fault, the injured worker still could not recover if he was partly to blame, or if he knew of the risks beforehand, or if the injury was caused by a fellow servant.

  • Case Study Of Mike's Law

    980 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mike’s estate now seeks to claim an award of damages from Bob. It is probable that the damages asked for would be too great to compensate Mike’s estate. Due to this, his estate will be suing Dale Cooper Construction Company because of their greater level of solvency. Dale Cooper as Bob’s employer may be held liable under employers liability due to the elements that evolved from Wilsons & Clyde Coal (1938). Even though four key elements were noted from this case only one applies for Mike’s estate. This is the duty to provide competent staff as colleagues. “An employer owes his employees a duty to ensure that they employ competent colleagues, including effective supervision (which is also a principle developed from the stated case) and training.” It is evident from the above scenario that Dale Cooper, had not employed competent staff and supervision. The reason for this is that, it would have been noticeable to see someone who had been “drinking heavily the night before.” A reasonable and competent person would not have allowed Bob to have manned and operated the cranes responsible for building the warehouse. Judging from the text, it is clear to say that competent staff and supervision was not employed for the construction of the warehouse. This can be exhibited from the fact that Bob had drank heavily the night before he knew he had work and was also irresponsible as he had come into work late that day (probably hungover). There should have also been a supervisor or manager to take note of Bob’s lateness as well as his physical and mental capability to operate the crane. However, this is only hypothetical considering it has not been mentioned in the scenario. As this is a common law duty, that is “to ensure that reasonable care is taken” “the employer cannot escape liability themselves simply by demonstrating that they had acted reasonably” and

  • Compensation Culture: The Unjurtation Culture In The Mass Media

    1331 Words  | 3 Pages

    From the 1990s, the reports that cover the compensation cases increased dramatically in the mass media (Almond, 2004). There is a view that a huge number of tort cases in the ‘compensation culture’ are unjustified and unfair. In the mid-1990s, the term ‘compensation culture’ first appeared in a famous British newspaper (Levin, 1993). Actually, this is an extreme view, which will be criticized in this paper. This essay emphasizes the compensation culture is a myth (Morris, 2007). There are three reasons: Firstly, the data of the tort claims declined in recent years. Secondly, some victims do not receive the compensation or enough compensation that they deserve. Thirdly, the mass media and public organizations created the ‘compensation

With prodigious judgment, analyze of workers compensation leads to opportunities for on the job accidents in finding fault to deny a claim.
