Toward A Third Approach: Modifying The Corrective Justice Model, Wendy J. Gordon
Toward A Third Approach: Modifying The Corrective Justice Model, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
The conception of the judicial role described in the second model is, of course, no more than a partial account of what some judges may do sometimes. A third way to approach "reap/sow" draws on a broader conception that whatever the role played by community norms, judges also aim to achieve a result that is consistent both with their own sense of justice and with precedent. As for precedent, perhaps the frequent references to "unjust enrichment" in intellectual property cases should be taken seriously. Perhaps the courts are analogizing to that area of law most directly concerned with imposing liability …
Copyright As Myth, Jessica D. Litman
Copyright As Myth, Jessica D. Litman
Articles
It has become fashionable to seek to formulate, or reformulate, copyright law as an expression of overarching grand theory. Perhaps the most prominent manifestation of this trend has been the recasting of copyright law in the mold of economic incentives; a more recent upstart competitor seeks to reclaim the debate by invoking the philosophical precepts of Hohfeld, Hegel and Locke. Occasionally, the literature gives us polite debates about which of the competing theoretical models is more misguided. Meanwhile, another voice in the copyright literature has been complaining that the law is remarkably unaccommodating of the actual process of creating works …
Federal Intellectual Property Law And The Economics Of Preemption, Paul J. Heald
Federal Intellectual Property Law And The Economics Of Preemption, Paul J. Heald
Scholarly Works
In the Sears/Compco decisions, the United States Supreme Court established that federal patent law preempts state prohibitions on the mere copying of unpatented product configurations. After years of harsh criticism by commentators, apparent rejection by the lower courts, and allegedly inconsistent treatment by the Court itself, most had proclaimed this principle far beyond resuscitation. The Court, however, miraculously resurrected the principle in Bonito Boats, Inc. v. Thunder Craft Boats, Inc., which unanimously reaffirmed that intentional copying often should be privileged under federal law. In so doing, the Court provided an expressly economic rationale to be used in future determinations …

Der Sachverständige In Patentrechtsstreitigkeiten In Den Usa Und Deutschland (The Expert In U.S. And German Patent Litigation), James Maxeiner
Der Sachverständige In Patentrechtsstreitigkeiten In Den Usa Und Deutschland (The Expert In U.S. And German Patent Litigation), James Maxeiner
All Faculty Scholarship
Ob in Deutschland oder in den Vereinigten Staaten, der Sachverstaendige spielt haeufig eine entscheidende Rolle in einem Patentrechtsstreit. Die Erforschung der Tatsachen wie auch die Anwendung des Rechts erfordern oft ein technisches Verstaendnis, das nur ein Experte liefern kann. Das Problem, wie diese Informationen demjenigen, der das Urteil faellen muss, nahegebracht werden koennen, stellt sich in beiden Systemen gleichermassen. Allerdings sind die Rolle des Sachverstaendigen und die Art, wie diese Informationen uebertragen werden, hier und dort so verschieden, dass deutsche Juristen schwere Enttaeuschungen, wenn nicht sogar empfindliche Niederlagen befuerchten muessen, wenn sie ihre Vorstellungen und Erfahrungen auf den amerikanischen Prozess …
The Substantial Identity Rule Under The Japanese Novelty Standard, Toshiko Takenaka
The Substantial Identity Rule Under The Japanese Novelty Standard, Toshiko Takenaka
Articles
This article compares the novelty standard under Japanese patent law with the novelty standard under American patent law. This article first explains the structure of the novelty and inventive step provisions under Japanese patent law and examines the interpretation and basic legal theories of these provisions. The inventive step standard developed out of the novelty standard. Thus, to understand the inventive step standard, it is necessary to understand the novelty standard.
Next, this article discusses the unique features of the Japanese novelty standard. The strict novelty requirements of the patent laws of the United States and European countries are contrasted …
Brief Amicus Curiae Of The Taxpayers Asset Project Of The Center For Study Of Responsive Law In Support Of Petitioners, Genetics Institute, Inc., Et. Al. V. Amgen Inc., 502 U.S. 856 (1991), Michael H. Davis
Law Faculty Briefs and Court Documents
Although a patent appears to be a private right, that private right is only "secondary," as this Court has stated, to the public bargain of which it is but a part. The focus must always be whether the public has received full information about the nature of the invention so that future inventors may reuse and improve it. The decision below reflects a failure to recognize the patent's monopoly nature and as a result abandons the "best mode" rule forbidding the inventor form concealing the best way of replicating the invention. By turning the subjective test of "best mode" into …
The Vices Of Originality, Paul J. Heald
The Vices Of Originality, Paul J. Heald
Scholarly Works
Lately, the Constitution has become an unwelcome guest at the parties of those claiming rights lying on the periphery of intellectual property. Two terms ago, in Bonito Boats, Inc. v. Thunder Craft Boats Inc., the Court held that federal patent law preempted a Florida statute forbidding the reproduction of boat hulls by use of any direct molding process. The Court's decision effectively provided a limited constitutional right to copy unpatented product shapes and designs. Most recently, in Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service, Inc. the Intellectual Property Clause was held to create positive restraints on Congress's ability to …

Authors And Exploitations In International Private Law: The French Supreme Court And The Huston Film Colorization Controversy, Jane C. Ginsburg, Pierre Sirinelli
Faculty Scholarship
On May 28, 1991, France's Supreme Court, the Cour de cassation, rendered its long-awaited decision in Huston v. la Cinq, a controversy that opposed the heirs of film director John Huston against the French television station Channel 5 and its licensor, Turner Entertainment. Defendants sought to broadcast a colorized version of Huston's black and white film classic, The Asphalt jungle. Plaintiffs, John Huston's children and Ben Maddow, who collaborated with Huston on the film's screenplay, asserted that broadcast of a colorized version violated Huston's and Maddow's moral right of integrity in the motion picture. The central question before the Cour …

The Expert In U.S. And German Patent Litigation, James Maxeiner
All Faculty Scholarship
The expert often plays a crucial role in patent litigation in both Germany and the United States. Determination of facts and application of law to facts frequently require a technical understanding that only an expert can provide. Despite the similarity of the problem of conveying information to the decision-maker, the role of the expert in the two systems and the manner in which the problem of providing technical knowledge necessary for the decision is solved are so very different, that German jurists who transfer their German experiences and expectations over to US procedures, are in danger of experiencing great disappointment …
