per se Explanation: it means on behalf of himself and in representation of Bill Smith... but I would ask the specialists in Law/Patents if the latin expression "per se" is also used. Hope this helps! :) |

John Doe, representing himself and Bill Smith... Explanation: "Fulano de tal" = "Mr. So-and-So" or (the usual British/American legal formula) "John Doe." The standard Latin term used when an individual is appearing on his own behalf is "pro se" (not "per se"). If he were appearing alone, you could certainly say "John Doe, pro se". However, with Bill Smith in the picture, the English sentence is much smoother if you simply say "John Doe, representing himself and Bill Smith..." rather than "John Doe, pro se and also representing Bill Smith," which is fairly clumsy. Black's Law Dictionary (6th ed., 1992) |
