The Bank HoldingCompanyAct of 1956 usc 12 1841 , et seq. is a United States Act of Congress that regulates the actions of bank holding companies . The original law subsequently amended , specified that the Federal Reserve Board of Governors must approve the establishment of a bank holdingcompany, and prohibited bank holding companies headquartered in one state from acquiring a bank in another state. The law was implemented in part to regulate and control banks that had formed bank holding companies in order to own both banking and non banking businesses. The law generally prohibited a bank holdingcompany from engaging in most non banking activities or acquiring voting securities of certain companies that are not banks. The interstate restrictions of the Bank HoldingCompanyact were repealed by the Riegle Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 IBBEA . The IBBEA allowed interstate mergers between adequately capitalized and managed banks, subject to concentration limits, state laws and Community Reinvestment Act CRA evaluations. Other restrictions which prohibited bank holding companies from owning non financial institutions were repealed in 1999 by Gramm Leach Bliley Act . In the United States , financial holding companies continue to be prohibited from owning non financial corporations in contrast to Japan and continental Europe where this arrangement is common. Instead, private equity firm s which solicit funds and in essence provide commercial banking services, have taken advantage of the workaround available to acquire large ownership positions in a number of non financial corporations, enabling the enterprise to obtain financing.

The PublicUtility Regulatory Policies Act PURPA is a law, passed in 1978 by the United States Congress as part of the National Energy Act . It is meant to promote greater use of domestic renewable energy . The law forced regulated, natural monopoly Electric utility electric utilities to buy power from other more efficient producers, if that cost was less than the utility s own avoided cost rate to the consumer the avoided cost rate was the additional costs that the electric utility would incur if it generated the required power itself, or if available, could purchase its demand requirements from another source. At the time generally, where demand was growing, this was considered to be the construction and fossil fuel costs incurred in the operation of another thermal power plant . This free market approach presented investment opportunity and government encouragement for more development of environment friendly, renewable energy projects and technologies the law created a market in which non utility Independent Power Producer s developed, and some energy market players Enron scandal failed .

unreferenced date February 2008 Patent holding companies are company companies set up to administer, consolidate and license patent s or otherwise enforce patent rights, such as through litigation. Some patent holding companies have been characterized pejoratively as patent troll s due to aggressive enforcement of their patent rights through litigation. Rationale Large companies Large, multinational corporation multinational companies may have many separate divisions in different countries, or within the same country. If a patent is granted in the United States to a European based arm of a multinational company, the U.S. arm of that same company cannot make use of the invention in the U.S. without patent infringement infringing the patent . It is also legally dangerous to ignore any infringement of a patent even if that infringement is by an associate company since it might create a legal assumption that you are not intending to defend your patent rights. Consequently, many multinationals set up a patent holdingcompany in a tax favourable country or U.S. state e.g. Switzerland or Delaware and then sell i.e. transfer patent transfer or assign all of the patent rights for the company as a whole to that patent holdingcompany. The patent holdingcompany can then focus on the task of granting licences to the different divisions of the multi national as well as to third parties. Small companies Similarly, it is not uncommon for numerous small companies to band together to consolidate their patents in order to better compete with a larger company.
