Whither The Wagner Act: On The Waning View Of Labor Law And Leviathan, Brandon R. Magner

Employee Rights and Employment Policy Journal

The National Labor Relations Act’s (NLRA) well-documented weaknesses in substance and enforcement, combined with legislators’ inability to adapt the Act to the modern economy, have understandably created many cynics in the field of labor law. For several decades, legal scholars have almost unanimously derided the NLRA and the agency which administers it, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), for failing to prevent rampant anti-union conduct by employers and the collapse of the union formation process through the Board’s election machinery. This “ossification” of the law, as it has come to be known, is considered to be a key contributor to …

Enablement For Genus Claims: A Bifurcated Approach, Jie Yang

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Abstract After two jury trials, two trips to the Federal Circuit, and two petitions to the Supreme Court, the Court this past term decided Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi without much controversy. In a unanimous decision, the Court affirmed the invalidation of Amgen’s functional antibody claims for lack of enablement. As a result, inventors down the road, not just life sciences companies, may find it more difficult to obtain broad patents. Although the Court was clear that Amgen may not “monopolize an entire class of things defined by their function,” the opinion fell short of guiding lower courts on how to …

Exploring The Role Of Patent Offices In Climate Change Mitigation, Johanna Rahnasto

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Patent offices are developing new programs to help in climate change mit- igation. What can they deliver? This Article provides a contemporary overview of the different green technology initiatives promoted by patent offices: fast- tracking of patent applications, search platforms, applicant resources, and publicity and awareness programs. The Article concludes that special treat- ment of green technology is fair and administrable when programs are openly accessible but narrowly tailored. The most tangible effect of these initiatives is the increased control by the patentee over the patenting and commercialization process, which is valuable even when effects of these programs on technology …

Security Researchers Battle Against The Dmca, Andre Sardaryzadeh

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

In the digital age, cybersecurity plays a principal role in resolving consumer concerns regarding data breaches. Nevertheless, United States copyright laws prohibit the effective use of cybersecurity tools that disrupt malicious hackers from gaining access to personal (and sensitive) information. One law, in specific, that is detrimental to the defense against malicious attackers is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Specifically, section 1201 of the DMCA prohibits the circumvention of copyrighted information. Malicious hackers have various tools and techniques to obtain unauthorized access to personal information via software vulnerabilities. Importantly, these vulnerabilities often result in the theft of consumers’ personal …

Never Tell Me The Odds: How To Avoid Infringement When Alluding To Copyrighted Works In Branding, Paul M. Matenaer

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Alluding to copyrighted works in branding is common, especially among small businesses that tend to fly under the radar of the large corporations which own those copyrights. The craft beer industry, for example, is fond of such allusions, incorporating references to movies, comic books, and video games in product names and beer labels. Whether to pay homage to the creative genius found in those copyrighted works or to cash in on popular enthusiasm for them, brand allusions to copyrighted works are common. However, such homages to copyrighted works can be as dangerous as flying into an asteroid field because they …
