Varje år sker företagsöverlåtelser för betydande värden. Företagsförvärv kan skapa stora värden, men det innebär även ett risktagande som kan leda till stora ekonomiska förluster. Ett av flera sätt som parterna kan påverka riskfördelningen mellan varandra är genom garantier. Genom att använda sig av formuleringen ”såvitt säljaren vet”, det vill säga en subjektiv garanti, kan säljaren minska det riEvery year mergers and acquisitions of significant value take place.

In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t

The search for prior art documents is an important, but time-consuming task for the patent attorney. Today, these searches are carried out using keywords, which is problematic since inventions often are described using abstract and general terms in the patent applications.

Despite this, academia has largely turned its attention towa
