Intellectual Property, Competition Rules, And The Emerging Internal Market: Some Thoughts On The European Exhaustion Doctrine, Guido Westkamp Jul 2007

Intellectual Property, Competition Rules, And The Emerging Internal Market: Some Thoughts On The European Exhaustion Doctrine, Guido Westkamp

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Although the European intellectual property law concept of the doctrine of exhaustion appears superficially straightforward, uncertainty as to its doctrinal foundations remains. The author explores the status of the doctrine, its interpretation and scope within European Community law, and the pertinent issues regarding the doctrine in relation to both domestic and cross-border issues. The complex structure of the doctrine of exhaustion has made it difficult to formulate more refined rules governing licensing provisions restricting the free circulation of goods. The result of this analysis indicates conflict between the freedom to provide goods and services under European Community law and classifying …


Should A Licensing Market Require Licensing?, Mark A. Lemley Apr 2007

Should A Licensing Market Require Licensing?, Mark A. Lemley

Law and Contemporary Problems

Many circumstances fair use should separate the idea that the copyright owner should be compensated for a use from the idea that the copyright owner should be able to control that use. The licensing-market cases provide a perfect vehicle for dividing rights but if a use is considered unfair because the copyright owner could have gotten paid to permit that use, the argument may or may not justify compensating the copyright owner for the loss, but it does not justify giving the copyright owner control over the defendant's use. Here, Lemley explains the development of the licensing-market rationale, critiques of …

The Sunset Of "Quality Control" In Modern Trademark Licensing, Irene Calboli Jan 2007

The Sunset Of "Quality Control" In Modern Trademark Licensing, Irene Calboli

American University Law Review

Historically, based on the premise that trademark protection is about consumer welfare, trademark law has allowed trademark licensing only as long as licensors control the quality of the products bearing the licensed marks. Ever since its adoption, however, this rule has been difficult to enforce because it hinges on a concept that is ambiguous and difficult to frame in a legal context: quality control. Unsurprisingly, the consequence has been inconsistent case law and much uncertainty as to what represents valid licensing. In addition, in the past decades, courts have proven increasingly reticent to strictly apply this rule and have declared …

Choosing Between The Advice Of Counsel Defense To Willful Patent Infringement Or The Effective Assistance Of Trial Counsel: A Bridge Or The Troubled Waters, Christopher A. Harkins Jan 2007

Choosing Between The Advice Of Counsel Defense To Willful Patent Infringement Or The Effective Assistance Of Trial Counsel: A Bridge Or The Troubled Waters, Christopher A. Harkins

Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property

Trouble is brewing for patent infringement defendants who use lawyers from one law firm to act as trial counsel and other lawyers from the same or different firm (albeit perfectly screened off from the trial team) to prepare a non-infringement opinion as an advice of counsel defense to allegations of willful infringement. The 2006 Federal Circuit decision in EchoStar has set off a veritable feeding frenzy of attacks by patentees' counsel on the most sacred of attorney client communications and work product: that of trial counsel. In a case of first impression, one federal court has even granted a motion …

Global Intellectual Property Rights And Economic Growth, Linda Y. Yueh Jan 2007

Global Intellectual Property Rights And Economic Growth, Linda Y. Yueh

Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property

This article argues that the global intellectual property rights regime will affect the economic growth prospects of developing countries. The trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS) provisions under the WTO articles will eventually cover all of its member countries, currently at around 150 and representing 95% of world trade. It is a significant change in the global legal system with implications for economic growth. One of the key mechanisms generating convergence in global economic growth rates is the transfer of technology from developed to developing countries. According to the neoclassical models of growth, technology is embodied within the capital …
