Sovereign Immunity facts
While investigating facts about Sovereign Immunity, I found out little known, but curios details like:
A drug company tried to avoid legal challenges to one of its patents by transferring its patent rights to a Native American tribe (and exclusively licensing them back) so they could claim sovereign immunity against any patent lawsuits. It didn't work.
There is something called 'sovereign immunity', preventing Queen Elizabeth from law prosecution. In theory, she could get away with murder.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 7 of the best facts about Sovereign Immunity I managed to collect.
