But in fact, the public credibility of the registration record is lacking because it is mixed unknowingly by the Russian legislator with the principle of the protection of the bona fide acquirer, which is applied to moveable things. This misunderstanding resulted in a lot of real estate lawsuits, which are almost impossible in Germany. Some other German legal institutions which support the certainty of title, such as the objection to the record in the register and the registration of the priority notice are not borrowed by the Russian legislator in their proper form. All this leads to the credibility gap regarding the data of the register despite the Russian registration system looks like similar to that of Germany.","PeriodicalId":35992,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75355120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economic relations regulated by patent law are currently rapidly developing though, and today we should acknowledge the economic shift that requires reconceptualization of the dominant postulates of patent law theory. In particular, the prevalent economic functions of contemporary patent law are, firstly, technology transfer aimed at disseminating and practical implementation of innovations, and secondly, ensuring optimal allocation of information about innovations for their proper commercialization and commodification, as well as for their further development. In turn, the above functions in terms of patent rights correlate to right to use the invention and to delegate such use to third parties. Those rights are the rights to the authorized person’s own de facto and de jure actions, in other words, privileges (use rights) and powers (disposal rights).","PeriodicalId":35992,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87872493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inclusion of a duty to transfer conforming goods in the performance obligation leads to disregard of basic principles of sale of goods. Warranty of conformity finds its effect only after a transfer of risk, because combination of price and qualities emerges at this moment, thus forming a particular item. With such an understanding there is no contest between consumer’s remedies for non-conforming goods and unsatisfactory performance. Only an independent obligation to transfer conforming goods preserves the functions of an item, which were defined in a contract by a seller and a customer.","PeriodicalId":35992,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84703515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
