UAEU Law Journal
This research deals with the settlement of intellectual property disputes as set out in various international conventions such as the Convention of Paris, 1883 and the TRIPS agreement in Marrakesh, 1994. The research also deals with the development in intellectual property rights in international regulations particularly with respect to the World International Property Organization (WIPO) and the Convention of TRIPS. In addition, this paper outlines the rules and a procedure for the settlement of intellectual property disputes in the WTO in detail as well as explains the structure of this organization and the most important tasks carried out by it. …
Marching To The Beat Of The Eu's Drum: Refining The Collective Management Of Music Rights In The United States To Facilitate The Growth Of Interactive Streaming, Gary W. Hunt Iii
Marching To The Beat Of The Eu's Drum: Refining The Collective Management Of Music Rights In The United States To Facilitate The Growth Of Interactive Streaming, Gary W. Hunt Iii
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In the digital era, interactive streaming is now the preferred method for music consumers to access their favorite albums and songs. The traditional copyright system used to administer music rights and royalties has not evolved accordingly, which not only impedes progress by music platform innovators, but also frustrates artist, labels, and composers who are unable to reap the benefits of their music rights. This Note examines the complex process interactive streaming services undergo to obtain the rights necessary to stream music through their platforms, which involves a discussion of collective rights organizations. This Note then argues that the European Directive …

Appropriation Without Representation? The Limited Role Of Indigenous Groups In Wipo's Intergovernmental Committee On Intellectual Property And Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge, And Folklore, Veronica Gordon
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
The World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge, and Folklore (IGC) is currently engaged in text-based negotiations to develop an international legal instrument, or set of instruments, that will effectively protect traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, and genetic resources. Yet, the people who will arguably be most affected by the ultimate instrument(s)--indigenous peoples and local communities--are not able to fully participate in these negotiations. Instead, WIPO deems them "Observers." They cannot formally present proposals, amendments, or motions, and cannot vote at IGC sessions. Thus, their limited influence implicates questions of equity, sovereignty, …

This Note presents the history of the problem of VIPs' restricted access to information, a legal-realist analysis of the reasons for and against a WIPO treaty for the blind, and the contours of a best-case solution.
In Defence Of A Defence - A Demonstrable Legitimate And Non-Infringing Purpose As A Full Defence To Anti-Circumvention Legislation, Andrew Yolles
In Defence Of A Defence - A Demonstrable Legitimate And Non-Infringing Purpose As A Full Defence To Anti-Circumvention Legislation, Andrew Yolles
Canadian Journal of Law and Technology
In this essay, I will argue that making a demonstrable lawful and non-infringing purpose a full defence to copyright infringement by circumvention of a TPM addresses many of the concerns raised by the currently proposed legislation, while avoiding the pitfalls of directly linking anti-circumvention laws with actual copyright infringement. As the ratification of the WIPO Internet treaties is the foremost concern for this legislation, I will begin with a discussion as to how this model can successfully implement the treaties’ anti-circumvention provisions where the Bill C-60 model may have failed. I will then explain why this model strikes a better …
Commercial High Technology Innovations Face Uncertain Future Amid Emerging "Brics" Compulsory Licensing And It Interoperability Frameworks, Lawrence A. Kogan
Commercial High Technology Innovations Face Uncertain Future Amid Emerging "Brics" Compulsory Licensing And It Interoperability Frameworks, Lawrence A. Kogan
San Diego International Law Journal
The pathways that lead to the success of cutting-edge technologies are often fraught with risk, difficulty, and uncertainty. These issues are particularly prevalent under a regime involving lengthy time horizons for competent research, development, and commercialization, which may require regulatory approvals. These challenges are known to be endemic to capital-intensive technology development which requires significant follow-on funding, particularly in highly regulated industries such as life sciences (e.g., pharmaceuticals/biotechnology and electronic medical devices ) and clean technology (which may be subdivided into clean or renewable energy generation and clean or renewable energy efficiency technologies and services, the former having more direct …

Through The Looking Hole Of The Multi-Sensory Trademark Rainbow: Trademark Protection Of Color Per Se Across Jurisdictions: The United States, Spain, And The European Union, Glenda Labadie-Jackson
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
An oft-asserted prediction states that only trademarks that stimulate all five senses with the objective of attracting the consumer’s attention will acquire a firm and durable presence in today’s complex marketplaces. This, in turn, has provoked the broadening of the repertoire of signs and symbols potentially eligible to serve as trademarks for products or services. Vivid examples of these are the sounds, scents, flavors, colors and three-dimensional forms, which collectively, are grouped under the generic category of “non-traditional trademarks.

The New Chinese Dynasty: How The United States And International Intellectual Property Laws Are Failing To Protect Consumers And Investors From Counterfeiting, Anna-Liisa Jacobsen
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
As businesses expanded with the rise of globalization, so did the effects of anticompetitive activity and, in turn, the reach of the U.S. antitrust laws. Though Congress addressed the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the U.S. antitrust laws with its implementation of the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvement Act (“FTAIA”), the statute only created a three-way circuit split that led the Supreme Court to address the issue and determine that the foreign injury must arise from both foreign anticompetitive activity and the activity’s adverse effects on domestic commerce. The D.C. Circuit further clarified the issue on remand by requiring a proximate cause relationship …

The “First-To-File” Patent System: Why Adoption Is Not An Option!, Rebecca C.E. Mcfadyen
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
As the United States’ national pastime, baseball has taught valuable lessons to generations of Americans. For example, players often learn how to be good teammates, how to set goals, and how to exercise discipline. Baseball has other important life lessons to share as well such as the value of “chemistry.” Chemistry is that intangible quality that allows individual players, each with a differing skill set and personal agenda, to work together and propel the team forward. It is what makes a team, a team.
The Inconsistency Between Section 301 And Trips: Counterproductive With Respect To The Future Of International Protection Of Intellectual Property Rights?, Lina M. Monten
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
This comment examines the inconsistency between continued international efforts to ensure uniform protection of intellectual property rights, most recently via the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS), on the one hand; and the use of unilateral measures by the United States, specifically Section 301 of the Trade Act, to ensure greater protection for United States' intellectual property rights, on the other. This comment first discusses the historical development of international protection of intellectual property rights, specifically focusing on the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property, …

The Fallacy That Fair Use And Information Should Be Provided For Free: An Analysis Of The Responses To The Dmca's Section 1201, Mauricio España
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note argues that 17 U.S.C. § 120, Digital Millennium Copyright Act, is not only necessary to ensure that copyright law is able to progress and advance in the digital revolution, but more importantly, that the protection of copyrighted works will benefit the public in ways the analog world cannot. It also argues that legal commentators' fears about § 1201 are misplaced.

Will The United States Take The Plunge Into Global Patent Law Harmonization? A Discussion Of The United States' Past, Present, And Future Harmonization Efforts., Anneliese M. Seifert
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Ms. Seifert discusses the factors that shape harmonization of a global patent law system. She touches on how the philosophical differences of the United States, Japanese, and European patent systems have created difficulty in establishing a cohesive patent law system. The author then discusses international harmonization efforts such as WIPO and TRIPs and national patent law changes, such as the eighteen-month publication period created under the American Inventors Protection Act. In conclusion, the author discusses the future of patent harmonization, suggesting the need for a global, uniform method of patent interpretation for meaningful harmonization.
Knowledge, Legitimacy, Efficiency And The Institutionalization Of Dispute Settlement Procedures At The World Trade Organization And The World Intellectual Property Organization, Michael P. Ryan
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
International legal research regarding international economic dispute settlement tends to be a-theoretical. A theoretically-grounded analytic framework is employed in this article which draws from scholarship from political science, sociology, and economics regarding institutions and international governmental organizations. The knowledge-legitimacy-efficiency analytic framework is applied in this article to studies of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GA TT)/World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement in order to relate this relevant scholarship to the economic field under primary study, Internet domain names. GA TT/WTO knowledge regarding international trade law has thickened through multi-lateral trade negotiations and dispute settlement decisions. The WTO's legitimacy is …

The Development Of Arbitration In The Resolution Of Internet Domain Name Disputes, Christopher S. Lee
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Web surfers who use the AltaVista Internet search engine may not realize that in 1998, Compaq Computer Corporation paid $3.3 million for the rights to the domain name AltaVista.com. A year later, eCompanies paid $7.5 million for the domain name business.com. And in February of 2000, Bank of America paid $3 million for the domain name loans.com. These transactions demonstrate that the ownership, transfer, and control of Internet domain names is a multi-million dollar industry.
Musical Works Performance And The Internet: A Discordance Of Old And New Copyright Rules, Stephanie Haun
Musical Works Performance And The Internet: A Discordance Of Old And New Copyright Rules, Stephanie Haun
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
I feel strongly that the great fundamentals should be discussed more in all public meetings, and also in meetings of schools and colleges. Not only the students[,] but also the faculty should get down to more thinking and action about the great problems[,] which concern all countries and all peoples in the world today, and not let the politicians do it all and have the whole say. I have often been told that it is not the function of music (or a concert) to concern itself with matters like these. But I do not[,] by any means agree. I think …
