Questioning Copyrights In Standards, Pamela Samuelson

Pamela Samuelson

Widespread adoption of uniform standards is essential to the smooth operation of our modern global economy. When private organizations develop such standards, copyright protection of those standards often creates a conflict between private intellectual property rights and society's need for standards. This conflict is especially apparent when a local or state government adopts a privately drafted standard as law. This Article considers whether coding system standards should be eligible for copyright protection as a matter of U.S. copyright law by examining the case law's treatment. of copyright protection for coding system standards and considering the policy concerns implicated by copyrights …

The Google Book Settlement As Copyright Reform, Pamela Samuelson Apr 2015

The Google Book Settlement As Copyright Reform, Pamela Samuelson

Pamela Samuelson

This Article explains that certain features of U.S. law, particularly copyright law, contributed to Google's willingness to undertake the Google Book Search (GBS) project in the first place and later to its motivation to settle the lawsuit charging Google with copyright infringement for scanning in-copyright books. Approval of this settlement would achieve several copyright reforms that Congress might find difficult to accomplish, some of which would be in the public interest. This Article considers whether the quasi-legislative nature of the GBS settlement is merely an interesting side effect of the agreement or a reason in favor of or against approval …
