Chapter 6 covers some of the fundamental building blocks of a licensing agreement, namely the license grant and scope (Spindelfabrik v. Schubert & Salzer): how are licensed rights identified -- by enumeration or through portfolio definitions? How are corporate affiliates treated by the licensor and the licensee? What is know-how licensing? How to deal with licenses of future rights? How should the licensed territory be defined? How can the field of use be limited? How do have-made and “foundry” rights work (Cyrix v. Intel)? How do technological changes affect the field of use (Boosey & Hawkes v. DIsney)? How should sublicensing be addressed (Rhone-Poulenc v. DeKalb)?

Reconstruction followed the Civil War and Lincoln’s assassination. Under President Andrew Johnson, presidential reconstruction was favorable to the defeated slaveowners. When Johnson was impeached and then defeated in the polls, Radical Republicans in Congress took over Reconstruction. They were not radical enough to give freedmen 40 acres and a mule, and their efforts to reform Southern state governments were only temporary. President Grant tried to help freedmen, but Republicans transferred their interest from the violent South to the expanding West.
