Definição:
Grandfather clause - In the United States, a grandfather clause is an exception which allows something pre-existing to remain as it is, despite a change to the contrary in the rules applied to newer situations. It is often used as the verb "to grandfather" or alternatively, as "grandfather clause." Often, such a provision is used as a compromise, to effect new rules without upsetting a well-established physical or political situation. But note that to "grandfather in" actually means the opposite; when a new situation comes about that would be to the benefit of a person who would not have qualified. For example, if a company has a pension plan and then after a certain date the benefits get better but the already retired get the benefits, then one might say they were "grandfathered in". This amounts to the same thing as being "retroactively applied".

Do Houaiss:
direito adquirido - o que está incorporado, sem possibilidade de reversão, ao patrimônio do indivíduo, por força de lei.
