Jones v. Cooper Industries, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing patents as “a form of personal property” and finding that “conditions would not ‘run with’ title to the patents and be binding upon subsequent assignees absent an express or implied assumption by the assignee”
• recognizing implied covenants are not favored and not lightly implied
• declining to find implied assumption under the terms of the written agreements on basis of mere knowledge of the terms of a contract
• where rights under the contract were not destroyed by the transfer of interest and the original contracting party remained liable, the “burdens” of the agreement could not be considered “inextricably entwined with” the benefits so as to justify implying assumption on equitable grounds
