UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

In Merial Ltd. v. Cipla Ltd., the Federal Circuit held that actions taken outside the United States might make a foreign defendant liable for induced infringement of a US patent under § 271(b) of the Patent Act. This article questions whether Merial remains good law after the Supreme Court’s 2018 decision in WesternGECO LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp. There, the Supreme Court held that lost profits from foreign sales were recoverable under § 284 of the Patent Act when they resulted from acts of domestic patent infringement. In reaching that decision, the Court applied the test from RJR Nabisco, Inc. …

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Since the 1950s, the NCAA’s amateurism shield has served as a stalwart protector in combatting litigation from athletes and coaches within its purview. They have faced many lawsuits since that time, with the overwhelming majority failing. As this comment shows, complaints have been of a wide variety such as antitrust, employment, and state action litigation. The amateurism principle was their defense in each of those situations. But now, many states have recently begun passing legislation that would allow student athletes to obtain compensation, in more ways than one. These statutes are a shot through the heart of the amateurism principle, …

Danning Zhu, How To Improve China’S Approach To Parallel Imports Of Goods Bearing Trademarks, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 125 (2020), Danning Zhu

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Parallel import, also known as grey market goods, refers to the act of importing goods to a country and selling in the country without the permission of the domestic owner of IP vested in the imported goods. The importer can obtain profits through the price differences between parallel imported products and domestic products of the same variety. China and the United States have huge differences in parallel import policies, even though both countries have participated in major international IP treaties. The United States requires that parallel imported goods bearing a genuine trademark or trade name registered in the United States …

So Are Games Coffee Mugs Or What? Games And The Right Of Publicity Revisited, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 178 (2020), William K. Ford

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

In Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, 564 U.S. 786 (2011), the U.S. Supreme Court held that video games are equivalent to other forms of media for First Amendment purposes. This decision should have put video games in the same category as other forms of non-commercial, expressive speech for purposes of the right of publicity. This article reviews the post-Brown decisions to determine the current place of video games within the caselaw. The result of that review is that games are still in a transitional stage, no longer merchandise as a matter of doctrine, but not yet receiving the same treatment …

Harry Potter & The "Chinese" Philosopher’S Stone: Deconstructing Copyright Piracy Through Shanzhai, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 101 (2020), Mark Edward Blankenship Jr.

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

The United States still faces a disconnect with China regarding intellectual property piracy. Particularly, with regards to shanzhai copyrightable works of art, the U.S. labels these fake works as knock-offs, rip-offs, and counterfeits. However, China views shanzhai as a unique form of copying that embraces the “Chinese spirit,” due to its constant modification and hybridization, superior quality, transformativeness, and democratic energies. By understanding the peculiarities of shanzhai, both physical and abstract, as well as China’s copyright law and tradition, this paper proposes ways on how China can improve their copyright laws to improve how shanzhai is perceived and to curb …


Defend Trade Secrets Act And The Seizure Provision: Useful Or Superfluous?, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 218 (2020), Sachin Bhatmuley Jan 2020

Defend Trade Secrets Act And The Seizure Provision: Useful Or Superfluous?, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 218 (2020), Sachin Bhatmuley

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Over three years have passed since the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) was passed by Congress. One of the remarkable and ground-breaking provisions of the act was the ex parte seizure provision. With its inherent expediency and the element of surprise, the ex parte seizure provision found instant appeal among the trade secret owner community. But the opponents saw a provision ripe for abuse and anti-competitive behaviour. In the three years since its enactment, the ex parte seizure provision has been used sparingly. Plaintiffs have found other provisions equally effective or at least “good enough.” Even when plaintiffs sought ex …

Mural Mural On The Wall: Revisiting Fair Use Of Street Art, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 267 (2020), Madylan Yarc

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Mural mural on the wall, what’s the fairest use of them all? Many corporations have taken advantage of public art to promote their own brand. Corporations commission graffiti advertising campaigns because they create a spectacle that gains traction on social media. The battle rages on between the independent artists who wish to protect the exclusive rights over their art, against the corporations who argue that the public art is fair game and digital advertising is fair use of art. The Eastern Market district of Detroit is home to the Murals in the Market Festival. In January 2018, Mercedes Benz obtained …

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

In the world of fashion, few have been able to gain copyright protection for their most ambitious and intricate designs. The useful article prohibition has long haunted designers and has left them with less desirable forms of protection, such as design patent or trade dress protections. Sympathetic to the artistic nature of many useful article designs, courts crafted varying standards to allow copyright protection for artistic aspects separable from the useful article. The Supreme Court articulated a new separability standard in Star Athletica v. Varsity Brands, which introduced a new chapter of copyright protection for useful articles. Although the standard …

Is The Emperor Still Far Away? Centralization, Professionalization, And Uniformity In China's Intellectual Property Reforms, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 145 (2020), William Weightman

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

As China’s rapid economic growth continues to slow, the Chinese Communist Party now seeks to promote innovation as the engine of future development. With this new economic agenda, reforms to China’s intellectual property rights (IPR) regime have emerged as a key policy domain as China attempts to build market-supporting institutions and improve law enforcement capabilities. By reviewing the legal frameworks supporting specific judicial reforms and through non-randomized, semistructured field interviews with lawyers, IP officials, and industry representatives, this article analyzes how China’s evolving legal institutions are increasing central control in the IP adjudication process, building judicial professionalism, and ensuring uniformity …

Patent Owners Face Unknown Arguments As To Whether Ipr Estoppel Attaches To Physical Products, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 328 (2020), Christian Karpinski

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

When challenging a patent in an inter partes review (“IPR”), petitioners are limited to arguing that the patent is anticipated or obvious based on existing patents and printed publications. According to 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(1) and (2), a petitioner in an IPR that results in a final written decision (FWD) may not raise in the USPTO or a civil action or an ITC proceeding “any ground that the petitioner raised or reasonably could have raised during that inter partes review.” But, what if a prior art physical product is cumulative of a printed publication raised in an IPR? Courts have …

Blockchain And Smart Contract For Peer-To-Peer Energy Trading Platform: Legal Obstacles And Regulatory Solutions, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 285 (2020), Joseph Lee, Vere Marie Khan

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

This paper discusses the implications of smart contracts in energy trading for the protection of consumer and individual rights. It examines the legal risks and regulatory solutions for a peer-to-peer energy trading platform (P2P-ETP) in creating a sustainable energy ecosystem. Part I discusses the conceptual framework of P2PETP, which enables consumers to become energy ‘producers' and traders. Smart technologies—smart contracts, smart meters, and distributed ledger technology (DLT) platforms, are the main components of this platform. The study examines the legal basis for these components. Part II analyzes the legal uncertainty of the smart contract, such as its enforceability, and the …

Patents 254 Miles Up: Jurisdictional Issues Onboard The International Space Station, 19 Uic Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 365 (2020), Bill Warners

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Over the past few decades, the emergence of private companies pursuing space exploration proves that venturing into the final frontier is no longer exclusive to government-run operations. From satellites to rocket boosters, billions of dollars worth of private property flies into space every year. However, the expansion of these private companies creates unique jurisdictional challenges for patenting private inventions and processes in outer space. This comment examines what jurisdictional claims and remedies arise when a private third-party commits patent infringement in an outer space jurisdiction that did not issue the patent.
