Multi-National Patent Litigation: Management Of Discovery And Settlement Issues And The Role Of The Judiciary, James Pooley, Vicki Huang
Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal
National patent laws protect intellectual property rights. However, these rights can only be enforced in the country that granted the patent. Therefore, a patent owner must pursue infringement or revocation proceedings in each country where his patent rights are challenged even if the defendant is the same party. Patent owners are forced to pursue duplicative litigation on a nation-by-nation basis,incurring significant costs and draining valuable judicial resources. Duplicative litigation may result in conflicting outcomes, the impact of which can be complex and costly.... This article will focus on Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. First, we will …

Smartphone, Dumb Regulations: Mixed Signals In Mobile Privacy, Christian Levis
Smartphone, Dumb Regulations: Mixed Signals In Mobile Privacy, Christian Levis
Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal
The smartphone has turned a user’s location into valuable information. Users of smart devices can use location-based mobile services to get driving directions, check into social networks, or even see which of their friends are around. But the use of this technology, and the new type of data created by it, raises privacy concerns as to who has access to one's location-based information. Because the only legislation covering this technology, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, is more than twenty-five years old, courts encounter problems when trying to use it to resolve these privacy issues, often reaching illogical results. This Note …
A State Law Approach To Preserving Fair Use In Academic Libraries, David R. Hansen
A State Law Approach To Preserving Fair Use In Academic Libraries, David R. Hansen
Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal
Every year academic libraries spend millions of dollars to provide their users access to copyrighted works. Much of that money goes not toward purchasing physical copies of books or journals, but toward licensing electronic content from publishers. In those electronic license agreements, the default rules for how users interact with copyrighted content is often altered, and academic library users are deprived of basic rights — especially rights such as fair use — which are granted under federal copyright law. The literature is flush with discussion of the misuse of private contracts to alter the rights granted by Congress in copyright’s …
Celebrity Endorsements In Non-Traditional Advertising: How The Ftc Regulations Fail To Keep Up With The Kardashians, Leah W. Feinman
Celebrity Endorsements In Non-Traditional Advertising: How The Ftc Regulations Fail To Keep Up With The Kardashians, Leah W. Feinman
Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal
Advertisers have used the rise of reality television, social media, and the public's fascination with celebrities to connect with consumers in new and non-traditional ways. With these new techniques come new concerns over consumer protection. When an advertisement does not look like an advertisement, consumers can easily be misled. In 2009, the FTC implemented a set of Guides which were intended to clarify and interpret the regulations enforced by the FTC, and advise the public on how to conduct affairs regarding sponsorship disclosure, specifically in new media. As the note describes, the Guides are insufficient as applied to non-traditional advertising …

Swapped Disincentives: Will Clearinghouses Mitigate The Unintended Effects Of The Bankruptcy Code's Swap Exemptions?, Timothy P.W. Sullivan
Swapped Disincentives: Will Clearinghouses Mitigate The Unintended Effects Of The Bankruptcy Code's Swap Exemptions?, Timothy P.W. Sullivan
Fordham Law Review
The Bankruptcy Code contains exemptions for swap agreements that allow creditors to seize collateral, to terminate their contract, and to net obligations once the debtor files for bankruptcy. By privileging this class of creditors, these provisions reduce incentives to monitor counterparty risk, and thus magnified losses experienced during the recent financial crisis. Congress overlooked this role of the Bankruptcy Code in destabilizing the financial system. Instead, its response was to require that all swaps be traded through a clearinghouse. This failure to address one of the contributing factors to the swap market’s collapse should be worrisome, as a clearinghouse’s traditional …
The Age Of Forgotten Innocence: The Dangers Of Applying Analog Restrictions To Innocent Infringement In The Digital Era, Brian Sheridan
The Age Of Forgotten Innocence: The Dangers Of Applying Analog Restrictions To Innocent Infringement In The Digital Era, Brian Sheridan
Fordham Law Review
Recently, two popular topics of discussion within intellectual property law have been the statutory damage regime and the legality of peer-to-peer (P2P) downloading. This Note examines a rarely discussed interplay between these two concepts: the innocent infringement defense. Innocent infringement allows a court to dramatically reduce the minimum statutory damage award for an act of copyright infringement from $750 to $200 per act. Both the Fifth and Seventh Circuits have found that § 402(d) of the Copyright Act eliminates innocent infringement as a matter of law in a P2P download setting.This Note examines those circuits’ reasoning as well as the …

Party Foul: The Fourth Circuit's Improper Application Of The Commercial Speech Test Ineducational Media Co. At Virginia Tech, Inc. V. Swecker, Michelle Silva Fernandes
Fordham Law Review
The pervasive culture of underage and excessive drinking on college campuses has led to numerous federal and state regulatory efforts to reduce drinking rates among college students. One such policy has been to restrict alcohol advertisements in college student publications, which implicates the First Amendment by limiting access to lawful commercial speech. Although the Supreme Court has developed a four-part balancing test to determine the validity of commercial speech restrictions, the Court has not articulated the level of proof required for assessing the validity of restrictions on alcohol advertisements in college student publications. This Note focuses on the degree of …
Dead Again: The Latest Demise Of The Confrontation Clause, Michael D. Cicchini
Dead Again: The Latest Demise Of The Confrontation Clause, Michael D. Cicchini
Fordham Law Review
In Crawford v. Washington, the Supreme Court abandoned its Roberts “reliability” approach to the right of confrontation. The Court conceded that the Roberts decision had killed the Confrontation Clause by: (1) impermissibly tying the right of confrontation to the rule against hearsay; (2) inappropriately allowing pretrial determinations of reliability to replace actual cross-examination at trial; (3) relying too heavily on malleable, multi-factor balancing tests; and (4) completely failing to constrain judicial discretion. Since Crawford, however, the Court has decided Davis v. Washington and Michigan v. Bryant. Unfortunately, in the course of deciding those cases the Court has once again killed …
Using Tort Law To Understand The Causation Prong Of Standing, Luke Meier
Using Tort Law To Understand The Causation Prong Of Standing, Luke Meier
Fordham Law Review
Under current Supreme Court case law, a plaintiff does not have Article III standing to sue in federal court unless that plaintiff can demonstrate “causation.” The term “causation” is ubiquitous within the law. Because of the frequency with which the term appears in various legal contexts, however, the conceptual analysis associated with that term can vary. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has never clearly established the conceptual analysis necessary for making the causation determination within standing law. Consequently, there is confusion on this question. This Article addresses that confusion by relying on causation terms and concepts fully developed within tort law. …

The Fatca Provisions Of The Hire Act: Boldly Going Where No Withholding Has Gone Before , Melissa A. Dizdarevic
Fordham Law Review
In an effort to crack down on offshore tax evasion, the United States is implementing a new set of information reporting and withholding requirements on foreign banks and other foreign entities. These provisions, known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, require thirty percent withholding of the entity’s U.S.-source income, unless they disclose specific information regarding their customers’ identities and account balances. While this may be an effective way to force foreign institutions into compliance, it also raises questions about how it will function within existing tax reporting systems, …

Seeking A Clearer Picture: Assessing The Appropriate Regulatory Framework For Broadband Video Distribution , Adam B. Vanwagner
Fordham Law Review
This Note examines the appropriate regulatory framework for the distribution of commercial video content over broadband networks. As online video providers such as Netflix and Hulu expand, they are beginning to compete directly with the video services of major cable and telecommunications companies. Frequently, these companies also serve as a customer’s Internet service provider, leaving them in the position of carrying these competitive services over their broadband networks. This conflict has led to calls for regulation that would protect nascent online video services from feared anticompetitive actions by the major providers. In April 2010, against the backdrop of this expanding …
"Moral Monsters" Under The Bed: Holding Corporations Accountable For Violations Of The Alien Tort Statute After Kiobel V. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co., Mara Theophila
Fordham Law Review
The Alien Tort Statute (ATS) provides foreign plaintiffs with the sole means of obtaining jurisdiction in U.S. courts for alleged human rights abuses. These plaintiffs increasingly seek to hold corporations accountable for complicity in some of the most notorious violations of international law occurring overseas. Prior to 2010, U.S. courts routinely entertained ATS claims against corporations without question. Yet, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. recently held that the ATS does not provide foreign plaintiffs redress against corporate entities. The Second Circuit relied solely on international law in making this …
Computers As Castles: Preventing The Plain View Doctrine From Becoming A Vehicle For Overbroad Digital Searches , James Saylor
Computers As Castles: Preventing The Plain View Doctrine From Becoming A Vehicle For Overbroad Digital Searches , James Saylor
Fordham Law Review
The plain view doctrine is based on the practical logic that an officer need not turn a blind eye to evidence that is immediately apparent as incriminating when he is lawfully present, where the object can be seen, and where he has a legal right to access that object. However, in the context of digital searches, this basic logic is stretched to a point that directly conflicts with the original purposes of the Fourth Amendment. The immense amount of data present on computers makes these searches much more intrusive. Officers employ search methods and techniques to access files that involve …

Giving Arbitration Some Credit: The Enforceability Of Arbitration Clauses Under The Credit Repair Organizations Act , Genevieve Hanft
Fordham Law Review
In today’s economy, the effects of a bad credit report are devastating to consumers. Individuals with poor credit history are often crippled in their ability to purchase even the smallest item, and consequently turn for help to credit repair organizations advertising services that cure bad credit. Frequently, however, these organizations merely accept high fees from customers already in dire financial straits, without improving their financial standing. To combat these predatory practices, Congress passed the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA), which imposes several requirements on credit repair organizations. One such provision mandates that credit repair organizations give a form to each …
