An Evolving Landscape: Name, Image, And Likeness Rights In High, Adam Epstein -- Professor, Dept. Of Finance And Law, Nathaniel Grow -- Associate Professor Of Business Law & Ethics, Kathryn Kisska-Schulze -- Assoc. Professor Of Business Law
Vanderbilt Law Review
Amateur sports have entered a changing landscape. The onset of Name, Image, and Likeness (“NIL”) opportunities at the college level has prompted over half of state high school athletic associations to likewise permit high school student-athletes to pursue similar financial opportunities. The purpose of this Essay is not to argue for or against the emergence of NIL opportunities at the high school level but instead to explore this newly evolving landscape, identify accompanying financial dangers, and propose a statutory framework that builds upon California’s Coogan’s Law—a measure providing financial safeguards to children working in the entertainment industry—to better protect minor …

This Foreword overviews an unprecedented Symposium on these wide ranging topics titled The New AI: The Legal and Ethical Implications of ChatGPT and Other Emerging Technologies. Hosted by the Fordham Law Review and cosponsored by Fordham University School of Law’s Neuroscience and Law Center on November 3, 2023, the Symposium brought together attorneys, judges, professors, and scientists to explore the opportunities and risks presented by AI, especially GenAI like ChatGPT. The discussion raised complex questions concerning AI sentience and personal privacy, as well as the future of legal ethics, education, and employment. Although the AI industry uniformly predicts ever more …

Fairness And Fair Use In Generative Ai, Matthew Sag
Fordham Law Review
Although we are still a long way from the science fiction version of “artificial general intelligence” that thinks, feels, and refuses to “open the pod bay doors,” recent advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have captured the public’s imagination and lawmakers’ interest. We now have large language models (LLMs) that can pass the bar exam, carry on (what passes for) a conversation about almost any topic, create new music, and create new visual art. These artifacts are often indistinguishable from their human-authored counterparts and yet can be produced at a speed and scale surpassing human ability.

A Framework For Managing Disputes Over Intellectual Property Rights In Traditional Knowledge, Stephen R. Munzer
A Framework For Managing Disputes Over Intellectual Property Rights In Traditional Knowledge, Stephen R. Munzer
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Major controversies in moral and political theory concern the rights, if any, Indigenous peoples should have over their traditional knowledge. Many scholars, including me, have tackled these controversies. This Article addresses a highly important practical issue: Can we come up with a solid framework for resolving disputes over actual or proposed intellectual property rights in traditional knowledge?
Yes, we can. The framework suggested here starts with a preliminary distinction between control rights and income rights. It then moves to four categories that help to understand disputes: nature of the traditional knowledge under dispute; dynamics between named parties to disputes; unnamed …
The Unbargained-For-Exchange In Copyright, Justin Ponds
The Unbargained-For-Exchange In Copyright, Justin Ponds
Mississippi College Law Review
Copyright law in the United States is more than the letter "C" in a circle. The visual impression of someone clutching a book prevails in many minds. The use of the phrase "it's copyrighted" has become common. Many people consider a "copyright" to be "property." The true story of copyright law is so steeped in history - a great deal from England - that it makes even Betty White seem middle aged. This Article examines some of that history and compares mistaken connotations about "property" within the realm of contract law - a better association.

Fashion Has No Function: Diminishing The Functionality Bar To Trademark Protection In The Fashion Industry, Seth Diasio
Mississippi College Law Review
The primary source of trademark law in the United States, The Lanham Act, outlines the requirements for trademark registration and protection. Marks which are distinctive, or that have acquired secondary meaning, can be registered on the Principal Register of the United States Patents and Trademarks Office (USPTO). Registered marks receive strong federal protection; however, those protections are unavailable to marks that are barred by the Act, but would otherwise meet the qualifications of registration. One of the strongest bars to registration is the functionality bar, which prevents registration of a functional mark regardless of whether it has a secondary meaning. …

The Wild, Wild West Of Laboratory Developed Tests, John Gilmore
Washington and Lee Law Review Online
Since the 1950’s, scientists have built novel technologies to screen for genetic diseases and other biological irregularities. Recently, researchers have developed a method called “liquid biopsy” (as opposed to a standard tissue biopsy) that uses a liquid sample (e.g., blood) to non‑invasively spot biomarkers indicating different types of cancers in the patient’s body. While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has fully cleared a small number of liquid biopsy tests under its rigorous and expensive review process, most biotech companies have instead followed a less restrictive regulatory path through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which label …

U'Wa Indigenous People Vs. Columbia: Potential Applications Of The Escazu Agreement, Ariana Lippi
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
Though the case is ongoing, and results are still to be seen, it in many ways sets a precedent for indigenous communities in Latin America seeking redress for environmental and cultural injustices. With Colombia’s recent ratification of The Escazú Regional Agreement (the Agreement herein) in 2022, this case presents a unique opportunity for implementation of the Agreement and greater accountability within existing domestic legislation.

This paper analyses the governance machine in place at the Arctic and examines the application of the principles of “common heritage of mankind” at the Arctic. This paper also offers some tentative propositions aimed at protecting Out Bound investment rights and how the World Trade Organization or other countries, like the U.S., can intercede in the Arctic investment sphere and attempt to regulate along with the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea.

Incentivizing Sustainability In American Enterprise: Lessons From Finnish Model, Vasa T. Dunham
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
The disparate climate performances of Finland and the United States, two of the wealthiest countries in the world, bring to light the question of how corporate responsibility has been inspired in each jurisdiction. Having established the urgency of the climate crisis and the importance of corporate behavior in optimizing a given country’s approach to protection of the global environment, an examination of each nation’s legal frameworks may shed light on features of the corporate regime that are effective in advancing sustainability goals and those that are not.22 Part I of this paper establishes a comparative framework by providing background on …

Trial By Trademark: Why The Trademark System Needs To Stand On Its Own Two Marks, Ben Siegel
Trial By Trademark: Why The Trademark System Needs To Stand On Its Own Two Marks, Ben Siegel
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
While IP-intensive industries continue to produce a significant portion of the American economy, trademarks consistently remain a substantial portion. Given trademarks’ increasingly pivotal role in the global economy, the complexities and nuances of trademark law demand a specialized approach. In examining the current trademark landscape, many scholars have underscored the paradox of its fractured nature, despite its fundamental role in the economy. Currently, trademark law suffers from a lack of uniformity across the various circuits in critical areas of the law itself, as well as vulnerabilities in forum shopping and confusion for businesses.
Rather than endorsing the conventional approach to …
The Unregulated Digital Playground: Why Kids Need Right Of Publicity Protections From Their Parents, Sophie Polo
The Unregulated Digital Playground: Why Kids Need Right Of Publicity Protections From Their Parents, Sophie Polo
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
As social media continues to become more prevalent in society, profitability on social media platforms continues to increase. Parents have discovered ways to profit online by using their children in content to gather views, therefore taking advantage of their children's right of publicity. While some parents use this profit to raise their children, there is no guarantee that children benefit from their parent's use of their name, image, or likeness. Since social media is still a relatively new space, there are not many protections for the interests of children on social media compared to other areas such as child acting. …

"Cheer Is A Sport": The Ncaa, Title Ix Compliance, And Nil, Mary Kate Mclean
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
Over fifty years have passed since the famous women’s rights Title IX legislation was enacted. Equal opportunity for women in education, and specifically in colligate athletics, has been an ongoing game since 1972 and while drastic improvements have been made, the playing field is still not even for female student-athletes. Many universities continue to struggle with Title IX Compliance and recent events and trends including the Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing female undergraduate population have dramatized the problems. In the wake of the Name, Image, and Likeness era, a solution to compliance is more important now than ever where a …

Leveling Up Fair Use: The Ultimate Cheat Code For Video Game Modders In The Wake Of Google V. Oracle, Parker G. Furman
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
Video game modifications, or "mods," made by third parties or fans of a video game, have reached the limelight of mainstream video game popularity. The internet has become a space for mod makers to share their creations with any user, without the need for physical modifications to a game cartridge or circuit board. Instead, mod software allows a player to install mods with ease and is extremely accessible, yet under the law, the legal status of video game mods remains uncertain. Video game mods are seen as infringing the copyright of the original game. This Note examines the application of …

Marking The Metaverse: The Implication Of Nfts On Trademark Law, Hanna Esserman
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
Within the last decade, internet users have witnessed the birth, rise, and mainstream popularity of the Non-Fungible Token, or “NFT.” Nearly ten years after the creation of the first NFT, there is now a wave of first impression litigation surfacing which questions the implications of NFTs on intellectual property law. This Note analyzes the intersection of Non-Fungible Tokens and trademark law in the United States.
Until recently, it has been unclear whether Non-Fungible Tokens are eligible to be protected under long-standing federal trademark laws. This includes allegations of NFTs infringing upon existing trademarks, as well as trademarked NFTs being infringed …

The "Wild West" Of State Nil Laws: Asking For Congress To Bail Out The Ncaa, Evan Crowder
Journal of Intellectual Property Law
This Note explores the evolution of the amateur status in college athletics, particularly the absence of a consistent definition for “amateur collegiate athlete” by the NCAA over the years. The traditional demarcation between amateur and professional athletes blurred significantly, particularly with the exponential growth of college football revenues, leading to indistinguishable time commitments for both categories. The landmark case of NCAA v. Alston marked a pivotal moment as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of allowing college athletes to earn compensation for the use of their name, image, and likeness ("NIL"). This decision overturned decades of prohibiting such practices in …

Journal of Intellectual Property Law
In a world where truth is behind paywalls and lies are free, the importance of a realm of works that are free from copyright protection becomes even more important for access to knowledge and information. This Article considers a thriving and accessible public domain a key mechanism for engendering access to knowledge and propelling human development globally. The copyright public domain as a realm of freely accessible and usable works and elements of works is under immense threat due to the constant extension of the term of copyright protection, disparities in the scope of the public domain globally, the absence …

the developing world, even though they are urgently needed there. This report
aims to present the Brazilian copyright legal framework and the policy
documents related to Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence and
innovation influencing political and public debate. This set of policies and

Research On Reform Of Security Review Mechanism Of Intellectual Property Transfer In China, Youdan Xiao, Shanshan Wang
Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)
Intellectual property security is the main battlefield of national security, and strengthening intellectual property security review is an important measure to protect national security and improve intellectual property security protection in the field of intellectual property. In the new era, the security review mechanism of intellectual property rights transfer and its implementation are facing double pressures worldwide, which need to be further adjusted and improved. This study analyzes the institutional games and challenges brought about by the changes in the international situation of intellectual property rights transfer, clarifies the requirements of the current overall national security concept and the strategy …
Do Patents Drive Investment In Software?, James Hicks
Do Patents Drive Investment In Software?, James Hicks
Northwestern University Law Review
In the wake of a quartet of Supreme Court decisions which disrupted decades of settled law, the doctrine of patentable subject matter is in turmoil. Scholars, commentators, and jurists continue to disagree sharply over which kinds of invention should be patentable. In this debate, no technology has been more controversial than software. Advocates of software patents contend that denying protection would stymie innovation in a vital industry; skeptics argue that patents are a poor fit for software, and that the social costs of patents outweigh any plausible benefits. At the core of this disagreement is a basic problem: the debate …

Incremental Improvement Of The Patentability Standard Of Nonobviousness, Kayla Siletti Brown
Incremental Improvement Of The Patentability Standard Of Nonobviousness, Kayla Siletti Brown
Fordham Law Review
Patents incentivize innovation, but the face of innovation has changed over the past several decades. Patent law is adapting to the radical growth of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, which produce drugs and biologics respectively. Research and development in these fields is largely incremental—new products are often derived from existing products. However, patents do not protect “obvious” improvements, those that anyone skilled in the relevant scientific field could have discovered through predictable, routine work. The line between incremental R&D and routine, obvious improvements is difficult to draw. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Patent Trial …
Copyright's Public Reliance Interests, Bo S. L. Kim
Copyright's Public Reliance Interests, Bo S. L. Kim
Washington Law Review
Courts are increasingly invoking copyright law’s “scenes a faire” doctrine, which precludes infringement liability for copying typical or standard elements in a copyrighted work. But judges and commentators only cursorily discuss why certain elements constitute scenes a faire. Alternatively, they characterize the doctrine as merely an extension of other copyrightability doctrines. The result is doctrinal inconsistency in how scenes a faire applies and theoretical disagreement about why the doctrine exists.
This Article advances a “public reliance interests” theory of scenes a faire that provides descriptive clarity to the doctrine and highlights its underexplored importance to copyright law writ large. Drawing …
When All Else Fails: The Doctrine Of Foreign Equivalents As A Bar To Cultural Misappropriation, Stephanie H. Soh
When All Else Fails: The Doctrine Of Foreign Equivalents As A Bar To Cultural Misappropriation, Stephanie H. Soh
William & Mary Law Review
This Note argues that under trademark law, the doctrine of foreign equivalents can be utilized to prevent some aspects of legally enforced cultural misappropriation. While it would be impossible to solve cultural misappropriation in one written piece, this Note proposes that the doctrine can serve to prevent applicants from obtaining trademark protections for certain foreign words.
Part I of this Note provides background on cultural misappropriation and the doctrine of foreign equivalents. Part II argues why the doctrine of foreign equivalents is poised to solve some of the harms of cultural misappropriation both in its structure and purpose. Part III …
