idiomatic wording Explanation: This is simply legal wording designed to include both idiomatic formulations in English (a sort of 'cover all the bases' wording). A party is said to be granted rights in an item of intellectual property, such as rights of reproduction, performance, exploitation, etc. A party can also be said to have, hold or enjoy rights to an item of intellectual property, such as to right to control how it is distributed or used. sample usage: DESIGN PATENT [patent]. A government grant of exclusive rights in a novel, nonobvious, and ornamental industrial design. A design patent confers the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling designs that closely resemble the patented design. A design patent covers ornamental aspects of a design; its functional aspects are covered by a utility patent. A design patent and a utility patent can cover different aspects of the same article, such as an automobile or a table lamp. GENERIC NAME [trademark]. A word used by most people to name a class or category of product or service, such as "cellular phone." No one person may have trademark rights to a generic name. http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/intelprp/glossary.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2007-10-31 11:25:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- '...such as the right to conrol...' |
