If I sell someone an item (e.g. an orange), and I attach a condition (e.g. "you may not make orange juice"), is it successfully binding? What happens if that someone does violate the condition (e.g. makes orange juice)?

The concept is the subject of interesting debate between the authorities, particularly nowadays in the realm of intellectual property. There's a good writeup of some important sources on pages 19-24 of this YU Shavuot-To-Go packet by R' Josh Flug.

On the first day of Sukkot, if you find a Jew that doesn't have the four species, the solution is to give yours on condition that he returns it after he fulfills the mitsva. If he doesn't intend to do that, the kinian he did in first place is not valid.

Don't see how it connects to my case: A) it's not a sale B) the condition is about the sale (not something you can/cannot do afterwords)... – yydl Feb 08 '11 at 23:50

1@yydl, the condition is about something he must do afterward: return the item. It's much like the orange-juice case, where the condition is about he must not do afterward: make juice. – msh210 Oct 10 '11 at 06:08
