    Google vs. Jarg

    Google vs. Jarg

    Google has found itself in a pickle. The giant internet search engine has been sued for using patented technology. The search technology Google uses was patented back in 1997 by Jarg, Corp. This was one year before Google became incorporated. Jarg was created by Michael Belanger and Dr. Kenneth Baclawski. Baclawski, an assistant professor of computer sciences at Northeastern University, began work on the patented technology in 1994. He later patented the technology under U.S. Patent Number 5,694,593. Belanger claims the company has been aware of the copyright infringement for some time now. Jarg had put off filing the law suit because they had no legal representation and had not been able to find the resources to fund one . Now that legal representation has been found, Northeastern University has joined the lawsuit and Vinson & Elkins, the law firm taking the case, has agreed to do so on a contingency basis, meaning Vinson & Elkins will not receive any payment for their services unless Jarg wins the lawsuit. Vinson & Elkins will provide lawyers to fight the case. They will also be assisted by local counsel where the lawsuit was filed. Though Google was incorporated in 1998, Belanger said he and Baclawski had no idea the company might be infringing the patent, until about 2 1/2 years ago. A representative of a Boston-area law firm told Belanger of seeing a presentation by Google that described the company's Web search technology. The database search technology described in the presentation resembled Northeastern's patented technology.…

    Why Do Romeo And Juliet Fight Persuasive Essay

    As you know, there is an ancient and raging feud amongst the Capulets and the Montagues. They have been caught three times for fighting previously. After the last fight, you claimed you would relentlessly kill anyone who is involved with another fight. However, I think you should not punish Romeo at all because of the circumstances of the fight. Do not punish Romeo for killing Tybalt because Tybalt started the fight between himself and Romeo, Romeo did not originally want to fight Tybalt, and Romeo only killed Tybalt to avenge Mercutio’s death.…

    How Did Equality Become A

    The revolution released public debates and political and social structures that expanded the scope for freedom. It also challenged inherited structures of power within America. In result of rejecting the principle of hereditary aristocracy, Americans also rejected the society of patronage, privilege, and fixed status. Men who led the revolution from start to finish were considered the most prestigious men of the American Elite. The lower classes however, did not rise to power in result of independence. Nonetheless, Inequality had been fundamental to the colonial social order. The revolution challenged it in many ways, therefore American freedom would be forever linked with the idea of equality. For free white men, the democratization of freedom was dramatic. In the political thought of the eighteenth century the term democracy had several different meanings, one meaning, coming from the writings of Aristotle defines democracy as a system in which he entire people governed directly. In the wake of the Revolution, democracy came into wider use to basically express the aspirations for greater equality.…

    The Crisis of over-Criminalization

    The Crisis of over-Criminalization

    What is over-criminalization? Over-criminalization generally insinuates that laws regulating public decency and morality is a distraction of sorts to law enforcement officials who could be spending time solving more important crimes rather than dealing in an individual’s personal fixation. Unnecessary reliance upon law enforcement officials to execute task for which it is ill suited has formed serious problems for the administration of criminal justice. (Kadish, 1967) The idea of criminal law enforcing morals on individuals deemed indecent is completely ineffective and it hinders effective law enforcement on actual menacing behavior. With law officials paying more attention to the immoral acts of others, the true crime of America is slipping through the cracks. The use the term over-criminalization is complete understatement in terms of criminal law. While certain legislative rules of morality may be already tagged onto specific crimes such as rape and murder, those same views may very well be improper to broaden its outreach to other aspects of our lives.…
