Goods
Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...
Maritime lien
Maritime lien, is well defined to mean a claim or privilege upon a thing to be carried into effect by legal process, that process to be a proceeding in rem ...... This claim or privilege travels with the thing into whosoever possession it may come. It is inchoate from the moment the claim or privilege attaches, and when carried into effect by legal process by a proceeding in rem, relates back to the period when it first attached, Bold Buccbugh, The (1852) 7 Moo PCC 267: (1843-60) All ER Rep 125.A maritime lien is a claim which attaches to the res i.e., the ship, freight, or cargo. It may arise ex delicto, e.g., compensation for damage by collision, or ex contractu, for services rendered to the res; but it is strictly confined to services such as salvage, supply of necessaries to the ship, and seamen's wages, and the courts show no tendency to extend the privilege (see The Ripon City, 1897, P. 226). Thus for ordinary work done upon a ship, such as repairs, there will be no maritime lien...

bond

It also provides reassurance that the obligation will be fulfilled and that compensation is available if it is not fulfilled. In most cases a surety is involved, and the bond makes the surety responsible for the consequences of the obligated person's behavior. Some bonds, such as fidelity bonds, function as insurance agreements, in which the surety promises to pay for financial loss caused by the bad behavior of an obligated person or by some contingency over w...
