Simple English definitions for legal terms

passing off

Read a random definition: customary international law

A quick definition of passing off:

Passing off is when someone tries to trick people into thinking their product is made by someone else. This is not allowed and is against the law. It is also called palming off or misrepresentation of source. If someone does this, the company whose product was copied can take legal action against them. The opposite of passing off is reverse passing off, which is when someone tries to sell someone else's product as their own.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Passing off is when someone falsely represents their product as someone else's in order to deceive potential buyers. This is considered unfair competition and can be legally actionable. It may also be considered trademark infringement.

Examples: An example of passing off would be if a company created a product that looked very similar to a popular brand's product and used similar packaging and labeling to make it seem like it was the same product. This could deceive customers into buying the product thinking it was the popular brand's product. Another example would be if a company used a similar name or logo to a popular brand in order to make customers think they were buying from that brand.

Explanation: Passing off is a way for companies to try to trick customers into buying their products by making them seem like they are from a popular brand. This is unfair to both the customers and the brand whose product is being imitated. It can also be harmful to the brand's reputation if the imitated product is of lower quality. Legal action can be taken against companies that engage in passing off.

Anybody know what a Yale II implies? I got one yesterday, but the conversion rate seems low.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
I'm honestly not sure

I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
