Using Alternative Dispute Resolution To Resolve Patent Litigation: A Survey Of Patent Litigators , Eugene R. Quinn, Jr.
Using Alternative Dispute Resolution To Resolve Patent Litigation: A Survey Of Patent Litigators , Eugene R. Quinn, Jr.
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Mr. Quinn provides an empirical overview of patent litigation, after which, he notes that the true growth in patent litigation has not occurred in the courtroom trial of disputes, but in the pretrial process. He concludes that increasing reliance on alternative dispute resolution, particularly mediation, is responsible for both the dramatic number of cases terminating during the pretrial process and the constant number of patent trials. The author reports the results of a survey taken of over one hundred patent litigators. The focus of the survey was to determine the attitude of patent litigators toward mediation or arbitration and their …

A Right Without A Remedy: The Unenforceable Medical Procedure Patent , Scott D. Anderson
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Mr. Anderson discusses the current status of medical procedure patents in the United States through the examination of a survey conducted on patent law and the patentability of inventions. Mr. Anderson examines the history of medical process patents and the controversy surrounding such patents and offers an analysis of current law. The analysis focuses on the Pallin v. Singer decision and the congressional reaction to the holding that eventually led to the passage of 35 U.S.C. § 287(c). As a result of the Pallin decision and 35 U.S.C. § 287(c), a patent may be granted for a medical procedure, but …

March-In Rights Under The Bayh-Dole Act: Public Access To Federally Funded Research , Mary Eberle
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Ms. Eberle examines the Bayh-Doyle Act of 1980, which allows small entities to retain patent title to inventions arising from federally funded research. The Act includes a march-in rights provision, which permits a petitioning third party to force the small entity to grant the petitioner a license where the original licensee fails to commercialize the technology. Ms. Eberle discusses the substance of the Act, focusing on its march-in rights provision. Next, Eberle chronicles a march-in rights attempt by the biotechnology company CellPro to obtain a license to Johns Hopkins University patents and the subsequent court battle. After offering an analysis …
Deserved Deference: Reconsidering The De Novo Standard Of Review For Claim Construction, M. Reed Staheli
Deserved Deference: Reconsidering The De Novo Standard Of Review For Claim Construction, M. Reed Staheli
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc. (Markman II) concluded that patent claim construction is "exclusively within the province of the court," not the jury. However, it did not mention the appropriate standard for appellate review of claim construction, and the Federal Circuit has disagreed on the proper standard of review. As such, Mr. Staheli examines the evidentiary principles of claim construction adopted by the Federal Circuit and explores the inherent reliance a court places upon technical evidence when interpreting a complex claim, focusing on the factual disputes and determinations of credibility that result from a dependence on technical evidence. After a …
The Doctrine Of Equivalents Into The Year 2000: The Line Is Becoming Brighter For Some But Remains Dim For Others, William T. Kryger
The Doctrine Of Equivalents Into The Year 2000: The Line Is Becoming Brighter For Some But Remains Dim For Others, William T. Kryger
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Under the holding of Warner-Jenkinson Co. v. Hilton-Davis Chemical Co., a court will not limit an inventor to the sole remedy of literal infringement. The inventor may also rely on the "doctrine of equivalents," which permits finding of infringement if there is equivalence between the elements of the accused product and the claimed elements of the patented invention. With this backdrop, Mr. Kryger analyzes the courts' struggle in developing a bright-line rule to protect patentees from piracy and fraud on their patents. Mr. Kryger first chronicles the evolution of the doctrine of equivalents through caselaw, particularly Graver Tank v. Linde …

The New World Of International Trademark Law, Marshall A. Leaffer

Trademark Harmonization: Norms, Names & Nonsense, Kenneth L. Port
Trademark Harmonization: Norms, Names & Nonsense, Kenneth L. Port
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Professor Port provides a comment on Marshall A. Leaffer's article that offers another viewpoint on the important issue of the globalization process and trademark law. Rather than seeking ideals of international trademark laws through harmonization, Professor Port suggests that a better objective is internationalization. Professor Port explains that harmonization of international trademark law will be impossible as long as world communities adhere to territorial justifications for sovereignty and jurisdiction. Because goods flow in the reality of an international market, Professor Port reasons that initiatives to avoid inefficiencies and uncertainties of global trademark laws should be directed toward internationalization.

The European "Community Trade Mark": Is It Worth The Bother?, Daniel G. Radler
The European "Community Trade Mark": Is It Worth The Bother?, Daniel G. Radler
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
In growing regional societies such as the European Union, there is a recognized need for standardization of trademark protection. Radler discusses the recent creation of the "Community Trade Mark" ("CTM") and analyzes the pros, the cons, and the alternatives to regional trademark protection within the EU. Concluding that the CTM is the most appropriate alternative, Radler suggests that the CTM provides uniformity, efficiency, and a means for further harmonization.
