Answer to question 1:
The declaratory judgment refers to a declaration. It is the legal determination of court,
which solves legal ambiguity for the litigants. A declaratory judgment is an outline of legally
binding defensive adjudication by which the person included in real matter or probable legal
issue may ask the court to finally rule on and establish the rights, obligations or the powers of
one person or more than one person in the civil case which is subject to appeal. A declaratory
judgment is normally regarded as solution and not fair or reasonable solution in USA, and is
thus not subject matter of reasonable needs, although there is analogy, which may be found in
the solutions provided by the court of justice and fairness. The declaratory judgment does not
by itself order any act by the people, or involve compensations, though it can be convoyed by
one solution or more than one solution (Harrison, 2016).
A declaratory judgment is different from the recommended view because the latter does not
solve the real case or the disagreements or arguments. The declaratory judgment may
render permissible surety to every person in the issue when this might solve or support in the
arguments. In the case of Bowers v Baystate Technologies Inc. 320 F.3d 1317 (Fed. Cir.
2003), Baystate took a legal action against the Mr. Bowers for the declaratory judgment that
products of Baystate do not break the ′514 patent and the ′514 patent is not valid and not
enforceable (Morgan, 2015).
Answer to question 2:
A counterclaim includes declaration that the defendant might have made by initiating
the lawsuit if the claimant had not already started the action. It is regulated by various similar
regulations that regulate the claim made by the claimant. But it is not applicable,
where it is an element of solution that the defendant makes in respect of the grievance made
by claimant. Generally, the counterclaim should compromise the facts enough
