Issue
Issue [fr. exitus, Lat.], used in several senses:-(1) The legitimate offspring of parents. The word 'issue' in a will was either a word of purchase or of limitation, as would best answer the intention of the testator; and for the effect of the word in the case of a deed, see Norton on Deeds. Now the rule in Shelley's case (q.v.), having been abolished by s. 131, in instruments made or in wills upon death after 1925, 'issue' will be construed as a word of pur-chase [(English) Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 131], and s. 130, by implication abolishes the rule in Wild's case, (1599) 6 Co Rep 16 b, 17 a (q.v.), in such cases, 2 Fonbl. Eq. 69.(2) The profits arising from lands or tenements, amerciaments, or fines.(3) Event, consequence, evacuation, sending forth.(4) The point in question, as the conclusion of the pleadings between contending parties in an action, when one side affirms and the other denies.It is provided by the present rules of pleading that the plaintiff by his reply may join...

Award
Award [the primitive sense of ward is shown in the It. Guardare, Fr. regarder, to look. Hence, Prov. Fr. eswarder (answering in form to award), to inspect goods, and, incidentally, to pronounce them good and marketable; eswardenur, an inspector, Hecart. An award is accordingly, in the first place, the taking a matter into consideration and pronouncing judgment upon it; but in later times the designation has been transferred exclusively to the consequent judgment, Wedgw.], a document containing the determination of commissioners, under an Inclosure Act or other public statute; also an instrument embodying an arbitrator's decision on a matter submitted to him. It must follow the submission, but need not necessarily be in writing, unless so prescribed. An award is generally considered as published as soon as the arbitrator has done some act where by he becomes functus officio, and has declared, and can no longer change, his final mind.

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...
