Civil Servant Alarm, Bijal Shah

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Civil servants have long resisted presidential immigration policies. However, bureaucratic by superiors, retaliation against resistance is the norm under the current dministration, despite the fact that this resistance has resulted from principled “dissonance” between civil servants’ understanding of their core responsibilities and the priorities emphasized by new political directives. Rather than condemnation, however, frequent incidents of resistance from divergent factions of the immigration bureaucracy, particularly if met with a harsh response from the President, should be characterized as a “fire alarm” imploring a congressional response.

Litigating Invalidity After Ipr Resolution, Libbie Dimarco, Nathan Speed

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

It is becoming increasingly apparent that inter partes review (“IPR”) petitioner estoppel after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) issues a final written decision can have broad consequences on a petitioner’s invalidity defenses in civil actions. This article will examine the practical impact of IPR estoppel and discuss strategic considerations for IPR parties involved in parallel district court or International Trade Commission (“ITC”) actions. This article will address four main questions : (1) when and how a petitioner can use paper prior art in a § 102 or 103 defense after an unsuccessful IPR; (2) how IPR estoppel may impact ...

The Disappointments Of Networks, Henry Fraser Phd

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

The past 25 years have seen a ‘turn to culture’ in copyright scholarship. This cultural turn has produced an expansive account of copyright’s disadvantages with respect to qualitative cultural and political goals such as: promoting democracy, individual self-authorship, expressive diversity, and more inclusive power distribution in shaping culture and discourse. The prevailing view among proponents of the cultural turn is that copyright stands in the way of the democratisation of creative and discursive spheres online. This article challenges that view. I contend that online, ‘free’ content economies—characterised by peer production, decentralised selection, and peer to peer content sharing ...

Tripping Over The Eu Trade Secret Directive: "Reasonable Steps" To Get Back On Track, Bianca Fox

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Trade secrets are a crucial tool for global firms today, including those that do business within the European Union (“EU”). The 2016 European Union Trade Secret Directive (“Directive”) attempted to establish uniform trade secret protection across all twenty-eight EU Member States but created problems in its wake. In particular, the Directive put no restrictions on whether Member States could specify certain “reasonable steps” that businesses must take in order to be afforded trade secret protection. This Article argues that Member States should be required to follow the trade secret definition laid out in Article 2 of the Directive and not ...

Into The Woods: A Biologic Patent Thicket Analysis, Jeffrey Wu, Claire Wan-Chiung Cheng

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Some drug companies, brand biologic companies, in particular, have been accused of covering only a single drug with more than eighty patents. These drug patents accumulate to what critics claim as one of the major culprits of high drug prices— “patent thickets.” However, current literature mostly focuses on the substantial patent counts and less on the characteristics and the causes of these patent thickets; but to effectively understand and tackle this issue, more thorough discussions are necessary. This article aims to provide further insight into this issue by analyzing and comparing the U.S. patents that cover top-selling biologics and ...

Perfecting U.S. Patentable Subject Matter - Merging The European Approach And The American Principles, Ilija Ilijovski

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

This article illuminates the recent developments in the field of the subject matter eligibility of the inventions and offers a resolution to the crucial issues in the field. The solution for resolving of the crucial issues combines the current U.S. approach of affirmative defining of the scope of the subject matter of the patents and the approach of the European Patent Convention, of both affirmative and negative defining of the patentable subject matter. In particular, the article provides a draft legislation as a more sustainable and precise solution that emerged from the comparison between the experience of the participants ...
