Neighbor Relations in the new Belgian property law

On Neighbor-Property Cycles

Cycles of various lengths composed of elements belonging to a set S can be used to define monocyclic permutations (“round-table seatings”) of subsets of S. Those are interesting by themselves, but the whole context becomes still more interesting when the elements possess specific properties or when pairs of elements of S have a specific property (implying a partition of the product set SxS). In...

The power law as an emergent property.

Recent work has shown that the power function, a ubiquitous characteristic of learning, memory, and sensation, can emerge from the arithmetic averaging of exponential curves. In the present study, the forgetting process was simulated via computer to determine whether power curves can result from the averaging of other types of component curves. Each of several simulations contained 100 memory t...

Intellectual Property: The Law and Economics Approach

T he traditional focus of economic analysis of intellectual property has been on reconciling incentives for producing such property with concerns about restricting access to it by granting exclusive rights in intellectual goods—that is, by “propertizing” them—thus enabling the owner to charge a price for access that exceeds marginal cost. For example, patentability provides an additional incent...
