    University Patents filed a suit in federal court in Philadelphia
    against Albert M. Kligman.

  <arg n="0">University Patents</arg>
  <rel>filed</rel>
  <arg n="1">a suit</arg>

  <arg f="loc" n="m">in Philadelphia</arg>
  <arg f="against" n="3">Albert M. Kligman</arg>

<note>
Sometimes the against phrase is included in the suit phrase.  You'll
therefore need to delve deeper into the syntax to divide the two args.

<example name="passivized">
  <text>
    Documents filed *trace* with the Securities and Exchange
    Commission on the pending spinoff...
  </text>
  <arg n="1">*trace=Documents*</arg>
  <rel>filed</rel>
  <arg f="with" n="2">the Securities and Exchange Commission</arg>
  <arg n="m">on the pending spinoff</arg>
</example>

<note>
This happens a lot, with something that looks (syntactically) like an
argument of "file" but is actually a modifier of the head NP--really --&gt;
--this is "documents on the pending spinoff were filed with the SEC" --&gt;
--but the syntax has been bollixed.  Use ArgM for all these.
