  • Colorado Amends Unclaimed Property Law Regarding Gift Cards; Will Other States Follow?
    Journal of Multistate Taxation and Incentives Volume 23, Number 10, February 2014 Department: PROCEDURE Colorado Amends Unclaimed Property Law Regarding Gift Cards; Will Other States Follow? States are reviewing their processes and looking for the means to enhance revenue, a course that includes increasing enforcement efforts and accelerating dormancy periods and reporting deadlines. By: JAMSHID EBADI AND SAMUEL SCHAUNAMAN JAMSHID EBADI is a Director with the Abandoned and Unclaimed Property Practice at Ryan LLC, in Greenwood Villa, Colorado. SAMUEL SCHAUNAMAN, J.D., is a Senior Manager with the same practice group, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and he has previously written for The Journal. This article appears in and is reproduced with the permission of the Journal of Multistate Taxation and Incentives, Vol. 23, No. 10, February 2014. Published by Warren, Gorham & Lamont, an imprint of Thomson Reuters. Copyright (c) 2014 Thomson Reuters/Tax & Accounting. All rights reserved. All states, as well as an increasing number of foreign countries, have laws regulating the reporting and remitting of unclaimed property to the respective jurisdictions. Colorado has recently amended its Unclaimed Property Act ("Colorado Act" or "the Act") and the following discussion provides a synopsis of the Act and highlights the recent legislative developments in Colorado affecting the Act. First, however, we provide an overview of what typically constitutes unclaimed property. While not a "tax," unclaimed property nevertheless has become a significant source of funds for many states. The field of unclaimed property (also referred to as "abandoned property" or "escheat") concerns the requirement that businesses holding such property (the "holders") report the property to state governments.

Michaels Patent Transfer DRAFT – Dec. 2016 Patent Transfer And The Bundle of Sticks by Andrew C. Michaels* Abstract In the age of the patent troll, patents are often licensed and transferred. A transferred patent may have been subject to multiple complex license agreements. It cannot be that such a transfer wipes the patent clean of all outstanding license agreements; the licensee must keep the license. But at the same time, it cannot be that the patent transferee becomes a party to a complex and sweeping license agreement – the contract – merely by virtue of acquiring one patent. This article attempts to separate the in personam aspects of a license agreement from its effects on the underlying in rem patent rights, using Hohfeld’s framework of jural relations and the “bundle of sticks” conception of property.

RAPPEPORT* It is frequently assumed that with the enactment of the Married \Vomen's Property Acts, the equitable separate estate doctrine has become obsolete' and is at present of historical significance only. It is the object of this article to show that the sweeping generality of this statement is erroneous and to indicate the possibilities of using the separate estate device, together with the restraint on anticipation, as an alternative to spendthrift trusts. A spendthrift trust creates a right in property held by one person for the benefit of another and contains valid provisions against alicnation of the property right either by the voluntary acts of the beneficiary or by acts of his creditors.
