State of South Carolina : Governor Hayne’s message

Governor Hayne speaks of the superiority of individual state sovereignty and states’ rights over mandates by the federal government. Hayne’s speech comes after President Andrew Jackson’s Nullification Proclamation that disputed a state’s right to nullify a federal law, in response to South Carolina’s ordinances declaring the tariff acts of 1828 and 1832 unconstitutional.

Tribunal do Júri e Soberania Popular

The present work has for object the Jury under the democratic optics, looking for to demonstrate its democratic validation. The purpose of this work was to revisit the institution, in order to bring its importance while instrument of popular participation. The work presents, first, a systematic and chronological approach of the institution of the Jury and its evolution inside of Brazilian constitutional history, objectifying, with this, to approach the narrow entailing of the Jury with the constitutional postulates. After that, the constitutional principles of the Jury had been examined, looking for to establish the popular identity of the institution and its approach with the human rights system of the Brazilian Federal Constitution. More ahead, had been examined the direct participation of the society in the Jury, going deep the questions related with the election of the jurors and the jury nullification on the American Jury. Finally, had been dedicated the study of the current conjuncture of the Brazilian Jury, its problems and the possible solutions, beyond the study of the limitation's mechanisms in the constitutional principle of the popular supremacy and the reform's projects suggested for legislators and jurists. In this way, had been looked elaborate a constitutional construction of the Jury, defending its permanence in the Brasil law system, for being a fundamental guarantee to protect the freedom, moreover for being essential to validate the Democratic State of Right, for to be the materialization of the democratic principle. For opportune, it's necessary to allege that this work had been directed to the constitutional analysis of the Jury, its legitimacy and its democratic vocation, using themselves as ideological north the American Jury System and as philosophical base the social contract theory, understanding the Jury as an instrument of protection of the society front to the state supremacy and its hierarchy structure of the power

La tutela brevettuale : dalle modificazioni in sede di esame alle limitazioni del titolo concesso

La limitazione del brevetto in corso di causa è uno dei temi più caldi ed attuali del contenzioso brevettuale, a seguito dell’introduzione nel Codice della Proprietà Industriale, con la riforma dell’agosto 2010, del 3° comma dell’art. 79, a mente del quale “In un giudizio di nullità, il titolare ha facoltà di sottoporre al giudice, in ogni stato e grado del giudizio, una riformulazione delle rivendicazioni che rimanga entro i limiti del contenuto della domanda di brevetto quale inizialmente depositata e non estenda la protezione conferita dal brevetto concesso”. L’applicazione della disposizione in discorso genera una serie di interrogativi, ai quali giurisprudenza e dottrina cercano di rispondere, e determina, e sempre più determinerà, un cambiamento radicale dello svolgimento del contenzioso brevettuale, con la possibilità di un “riassetto” della privativa, anche per successivi tentativi, nella quale anche il C.T.U. è spesso (e non senza contestazioni, a questo riguardo) parte attiva, non essendo infrequente che questo offra indicazioni circa la sussistenza di un margine di validità del titolo . L’elaborato tenta, quindi, di approfondire le problematiche di natura sostanziale e procedurale che l’articolo 79, comma 3, C.P.I. solleva, ripercorrendo con l’occasione le possibili facoltà di intervento sul brevetto, sia allo stato di domanda, che a seguito di concessione, che l’ordinamento mette a disposizione dell’inventore per perfezionare la propria privativa.
