Intellectual Property, Constitutional
The King licenses A. to go beyond sea for a certain time ; after this time is expired, A. is commanded under. the privy seal, upon his allegance to return into England ; he does not obey : his goods, chattels and lands are seisetl into thc King's hands for this contempt : resolved by all the judges of England, that if A. in this case ; has a manor where there are copyholds ; and timber fit to be felled each season that the King may grant the copyhold, and sell the timber so fit to be felled. If the King makes that the two stewards to keep courts there : ne of them by himself, although with the consent of the other, can neither keep courts nor grant copies ; for they have a joint power. In this case, the King's grant, quanidiu in manibus nostris fore contigerit, is good ; and such patentee may keep courts in his own name, grant copies ; and sell seasonable timber.

Commercial, Intellectual Property
The king's power to create corporations and to order trade did not include a power to make a monopoly, for that is to take away free trade which is the birthright of every subject. A trader creating a new invention could be granted a charter by the king allowing him sole use of it for a set period of time, but when that patent expired, it could not be renewed. A copporation could not be the judge of whether its patent had been breached, for that would make it judge and jury in its own cause, and the King could not grant unto another the power to do a thing which was against the law.

Intellectual Property
The defendant, on his answer being put in, moved to dissolve an injunction against his vending a book of letters from Swift, Pope,and others. Held: A collection of letters as well as other books, is within the intention of the 8th of Queen Anne, the act for the encouragement of learning. The receiver of a letter has, at most, a joint property with the writer, and the possession does not give him a licence to publish.

Intellectual Property
Yates J said: "It is certain every man has a right to keep his own sentiments if he pleases. He has certainly a right to judge whether he will make them public, or commit them only to the sight of his friends. In that state the manuscript is, in every sense, his peculiar property, and no man can take it from him, or make any use of it which he has not authorised, without being guilty of a violation of his property; and, as every author or proprietor of a manuscript has a right to determine whether he will publish it or not, he has a right to the first publication; and whoever deprives him of that priority is guilty of a manifest wrong, and the Court has a right to stop it."
