W2 Discussion “Business and
the Bill of Rights”
Consider the protections granted under the Bill of Rights. These
protections afforded to individuals often extend to corporations
since corporations enjoy many of the same rights and privileges as a
natural person does. As a business, which Amendment would you
consider to be the most important? Why is this important to you?
How about as an individual, which Amendment is most important to
you? Why is this amendment important to you?

W3 Discussion “Trademarks
and Dilution”
Provide an example of an existing trademark. What makes this
trademark strong? What makes it weak? What is trademark dilution?
Is this trademark at risk for dilution?

W4 Discussion “Who Owns the
Engagement Ring?”
Business Law I

Who Owns the Engagement
Ring?

YOU CAN ALSO VISIT: WWW.HWSPEED.COM

Often, when a couple decides to marry, one party gives the other an
engagement ring. If the engagement is called off, typically the ring
is returned. Yet what if the recipient of the ring refuses to return it
and a dispute over who owns the ring reaches a court? What law
should apply in determining ownership rights in this particular form
of personal property? In the eyes of the law, is an engagement ring
a “conditional gift” that becomes effective only when the couple
actually marries? Or is it an effective gift to begin with, meaning
that it belongs to the person to whom it was given—the donee?
Furthermore, does ownership of the ring depend on who breaks the
engagement? On these questions, the courts are widely divided.
Where do you stand on this issue? Please explain your thoughts.

W5 Discussion “Is a Video Will
a Valid Will?”

W6 Discussion “Which Form Of
Business Is Better?”

Jonathan, Gary, and Ricardo are active members of a partnership
called Swim City. The partnership manufactures, sells, and installs
outdoor swimming pools in the states of Texas and Arkansas. The
partners want to continue to be active in management and to
expand the business into other states as well. They also are
concerned about rather large recent judgments entered against
swimming pool companies throughout the United States. Based on
these facts only, discuss whether the partnership should
incorporate.

W7 Discussion “Offer and
Acceptance”
For this discussion forum, please read about the case Lim v. The.TV
Corporation International below and respond to the following:

Should the UCC rules governing auctions apply to items sold on
online auctions such as e-Bay? Why or why not?

Lim v. The.TV Corp. International, 99 Cal.App.4th 684, 121
Cal.Rptr.2d 333 (2d Dist. 2002).

Under the Uniform Commercial Code, or UCC (see Chapter 18), a bid
at an auction constitutes an offer. The offer (the highest bid) is
accepted when the auctioneer’s hammer falls. The UCC also states
that auctions are “with reserve” unless the seller specifies
otherwise. As noted elsewhere, in an auction with reserve, the
seller reserves the right not to sell the goods to the highest bidder.
Hence, even after the hammer falls, the contract for sale remains
conditioned on the seller’s approval. The question of how these
rules should be applied to an online auction of a domain name, in
which no hammer falls, came before a California court.

The Bid (Or Offer?)

The case involved an online auction conducted by The.TV
Corporation International (DotTV) on its Web site. DotTV posted an
announcement on its Web site asking for bids for rights to the
“Golf.tv” domain name and stating that the name would go to the
highest bidder. Je Ho Lim submitted a bid for $1,010 and authorized
DotTV to charge that amount to his credit card if his bid was the
highest. Later, DotTV sent Lim an e-mail message stating that he
had “won the auction” and charged the bid price of $1,010 to Lim’s
credit card. When DotTV subsequently refused to transfer the
name, Lim sued DotTV for, among other things, breach of contract.
Lim argued that his bid constituted an ac¬ceptance of DotTV’s offer

to sell the name. DotTV contended that Lim’s bid was an offer,
which it had not accepted. Furthermore, even if it had accepted
Lim’s offer, because the auction was “with re¬serve,” DotTV could
withdraw the domain name from the auction even after acceptance.
The trial court held for DotTV, and Lim appealed.

The Courts Analysis

The appellate court first looked at the UCC’s provisions concerning
auctions, but noted that the UCC did not apply in this case because
the UCC applies only to “goods,” and domain names are not goods.
The court then looked at common law principles as codified in the
Restatement (Second) of Contracts. The rules under the
Restatement are similar to those of the UCC: a bid in an auction is
an offer that is accepted when the “hammer falls,” and an auction is
with reserve unless otherwise speci-fied by the seller.

The court also pointed out, however, that DotTV’s charging of the
bid price to Lim’s credit card was inconsistent with DotTV’s claim
that it could withdraw the domain name from the bidding be¬cause
the auction was with reserve. Furthermore, stated the court, even
if it concluded that Lim’s bid was an offer and not an acceptance,
DotTV had accepted the offer by its e-mail to Lim stating that he
had won the auction. In all, held the court, there was no evidence
that a contract between DotTV and Lim had not been formed, and
Lim had stated a valid claim against DotTV for breach of contract.
The court thus reversed the lower court’s decision and remanded
the case for further delib¬eration consistent with the appellate
court’s opinion.
