Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is fundamental that a party may seek documents that are in the opposing party’s “possession, custody or control.” The same or similar standards are reflected in most state civil procedure rules. The corollary to these rules is that to avoid claims of spoliation and the severe sanctions that may follow, a party is obligated to ensure such records are preserved when litigation is reasonably anticipated.

Over the past several years, using patents to protect innovation has become increasingly complicated as technology itself has exploded in sophistication and complexity. This is especially true in the realm of software. In the United States, patents are currently being used as both swords and shields in attacks on software innovation. This dynamic tension is most evident in the context of so-called patent assertion entities (PAEs) or nonpracticing entities (NPEs), otherwise known in the geek community as “patent trolls.”

Current legislation creates several cost obstacles for parties seeking to purchase residential property together. One group of buyers that may be very much affected are married couples and families seeking to jointly purchase property. The reality is that for as long as such rules are in place, the practical approach by couples and families may prevail, in that, they may try to see how they can navigate the rules and hold their real estate with whatever tax savings; and to be less sentimental about what a matrimonial home and family home represents.
