The “right to repair” is defined as the user’s right to decide on her products, but current legislations take forms of obligations to provide repair parts and repair manuals from authorized product manufacturers to the users or the independent repair service providers. In other words, the current “right to repair” legislation does not address the prevention of the repair by the manufacturer’s intellectual property rights. Then, what measures can be taken to tackle that situation? In this respect, in EU design law, the “repair clause” which legalizes repair using spare parts has existed since before the “right to repair” was discussed. This paper follows the discussion of the repair clause through the leading case, the Acacia case, and explores whether the clause contributes to the “right to repair” and the pros and cons of such clauses. As a conclusion, the repair clause of EU can support the “right to repair”. On the other hand, the extensibility of the clause may differ depending on whether the rational of the exception provision is considered as the competition law and the exhaustion doctrine or, beyond the traditional those theories, given the meaning of an “environment-oriented” right to repair to promote the circular economy.

In The Two Homelands by Yamasaki Toyoko, there is detailed description of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. This study attempts to examine how the opening statement by a defense attorney, Kiyose Ichiro, on February 24,1947, was reproduced in the work. The full text of the opening statement is available in Kiyose Ichiro’s Hiroku, Tokyo Saiban (The Secret Records of the Tokyo Trials). In this research, comparing Kiyose’s original statement and the text reproduced in The Two Homelands revealed that much of statement was quoted extensively.

The functional categories in the left peripheral area of the cartography have their own discourse function. Force in the left peripheral field activates as a force marker. However, this paper shows that Fin in the left peripheral field can operate as aforce marker and a verb moves up to there due to inheritance of [+attract] feature from Force to Fin. The framework presented here provides a straightforward account of V1, V2 phenomena in Germanic languages. English shows cyclic demise of V-to-C and V-to-T movement in its history. A set of puzzles concerning the patterns of the phenomena is explained as a consequence of the analysis which admits gradual demise of verb attraction to Fin. Furthermore, this paper addresses the possibility of occurrence of MoodP between ForceP and FinP in the right periphery of clauses as well as in the left periphery of them. MoodP bears the function of speaker's mood of utterance and interacts with Force in attracting verbs to Fin. The demise of Kakari-musubi in Japanese is closely related to the loss of verb movement to Fin.
