Week 6 EOC: Illicit: What do I think of it.

I work in the aircraft industry and illicit aircraft parts and hardware are a problem, they can make a life or death difference for people who travel. Illegal counterfeit aircraft is one that has caused airplanes to crash. Counterfeit car parts can cause enough danger and failure can cause an accident but in the aircraft industry and commercial aircraft parts can cause death. A car can pull over when there's failure but a failure with a aircraft part means an emergency. Aircraft can't pull over on a cloud when there's a problem. Security is also important when aircraft go outside the company to be worked on when they need maintenance there's no control over the parts that are used. The F.A.A. regulations and procedures over our private and commercial airlines keep use safe. Compare the U.S. and Europe safety with Asia and Latin safety where counterfeit parts are a commonplace. U.S. and Europe flights are a lot more safe than our counter parts.

Counterfeit parts, what are they? Unapproved parts: Under F.A.A. regulations unapproved parts are parts that are all aircraft parts manufactured without F.A.A. approval. Unapproved parts includes stolen parts, productions overrun, exceeded their time limits, fraudulently marked parts or with no traceability. Counterfeit parts are all the above plus they are made of inferior properties. Some of the cases are Falcon windows, flight control fittings, gyros, engine fan blades, engine mounts, gyros, and the list goes on. The criminal charges for "willfully communicate false information to endanger the safety of aircraft" ( 18 U.S.C. 32(a)(60 and "aiding and abetting, or willfully causing an offense against the United States"(18 U.S.C. 2). These charges for an individuals and corporations can get you up to five years in jail. $250,000 per count or $300,00 per count plus cost. It must be stopped for heaven's sake, the lives of our children and families.

Week 5 EOC: Lawyers looking for fame

Hypocrites. Why do we judge certain people of their certain professions so harshly? Does it start early as children when they hear the jokes or the hostile conversations from other people with their war stories. Or maybe these people think they should be the forgotten hero who jumps in front of the bus or grenade without thought for his own safety. The poor slob and his life that is torn apart crawls into office and the evil Darth Lawyer grabs him by the neck and shakes him for all his worth. Justices was served only because an injustices was done to the poor slob. I haven't meet a person yet that did the job whatever it might be with the sincerity of heart like they were Superman or Batman.


If I'm ever in a situation requiring a lawyer and I don't have the funds (Like everyone I know that's not a millionaire) I hope to find a lawyer that his payment is only just interested in some face time in front of the Supreme Court, I'm all into it. The issue is only about payment and what the payment is, it isn't like anyone does anything for free. Barry A. Schwartz, a criminal defense lawyer in Denver, said of many of the dozen or so lawyers who called him after he had won an appeals court decision on an issue that was likely to reach the Supreme Court. “It’s not because they love your client or believe in the legal principle your case presents. They want to get the case into the Supreme Court.” I don't agree with that statement, does a lawyer that asks for cash up front ant better than a lawyer who want the experience of the Supreme Court.


Case in point: Law firms trying to build or maintain credible Supreme Court practices must show paying clients that they have a consistent presence in the court, and law school clinics have to provide work to the students. Separately and in combination, firms and clinics offer their services free to poor clients in exchange for taking a lead role in the case. That means people with legal troubles but no money can end up with a top-tier lawyer with deep experience before the court. That's what I'm talking about, people need help and now they have a opportunity to have it. The specialists respond to critics by pointing to data showing that their record in the court is quite good. They say their ethical obligations are to the individuals they represent and not to the agendas of interest groups.
Ethical obligations are the stanard and the public is served.

Week 4 EOC: Death Race Jeopardy

Death Race Jeopardy, the game of intrigue, skill, and know how.   The game we played in class was fun, informative, and a learning tool. At first a PowerPoint Jeopardy game looked like a joke but after awhile I could see how it was helping me learn. Looking up  all the definitions and trying out how to make them into a question was defiantly a challenge. I'd like to learn how they were able to set up the game in PowerPoint, the knowledge is very useful for presentations. The game in the class really helped me with these definitions and the extra 42 points helped.

The game in class was really fun, nerve racking, and talk about combative. People running over each other, hiding their answers from the other classmates. Working with other classmates, coming up with answers, correct answers before the other team members did was fantastic. When the runner was writing down the answer before the time ran out, was very thrilling.

Preparing the Jeopardy game and playing the game I did learned a few things. Simple stuff like the date of invention, the date the inventor can prove the invention was conceived or when it was built and tested. Graham vs. John Deere, the 1966 Supreme Court case states guidelines for determining when a invention is nonobvious.


A large entity is a for profit company is one that has over 500 employees and the official Gazette is two weekly online publications produced by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.   
The repair doctrine, anyone who is authorized to make, use, or sell a patented device is also permitted to repair and replace unpatented components. The best for last, the Bayh-Dole Act, enacted in 1980, permits universities to claim patent rights in inventions created at a university with federal funding.
