aliquot

Read a random definition: droit de bris

A quick definition of aliquot:

Aliquot means a part of something that can be divided evenly without any left over. It's often used in property law, trust law, and patent law. In patent law, it can also refer to a small part of something used for testing. In the United States Public Land Survey System, an aliquot part is a legal way of dividing a big piece of land into smaller parts.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Aliquot is a term that comes from Latin and means "divisible from a larger whole without a remainder." Today, it usually refers to a fractional part or a share of the whole. This term is commonly used in property law, the law of trusts, and patent law.

In property law, an aliquot part is a legal subdivision of a larger piece of land into halves or fourths. For example, if a person owns a large piece of land, they may choose to divide it into aliquot parts and sell them separately to different buyers.

In the context of patent law, aliquot may refer to a fractional part of a specimen used for testing in an experiment. For instance, a scientist may take an aliquot of a blood sample to test for a specific disease.

Overall, aliquot refers to a part of a whole that is divisible without leaving a remainder.
