Computer Software: Patentable Subject Matter Jurisprudence Comes Of Age, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 113 (1999), Indira Saladi
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Federal Circuit's ruling in State Street Bank Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group, Inc. represented a paradigm shift in subject matter jurisprudence. Historically, software has been unpatentable because it included a mathematical algorithm, could not pass the physicality test, and was subject to the business methods exception. The State Street ruling expanded the scope of patentable subject matters by focusing on other aspects of patentability such as novelty, nonobviousness, and utility. State Street refreshingly modernizes patent law for improved application to today's evolving high technology industries. In "Computer Software: Patentable Subject Matter Jurisprudence Comes of Age," the author examines …

This Comment will analyze how courts should interpret the four statutory factors in determining a fair use defense for once private documents, such as love letters, and how the courts need to add First Amendment and public policy concerns in deciding whether to allow the fair use. First, this Comment addresses the current definition of the fair use doctrine and its impact on unpublished works. This Comment will also address the need to create a new fair use defense test to include the First Amendment concerns of secondary authors who cannot create their works without the copyrighted information. Secondly, this …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article begins with a comparison of UCITA and UCC Article 2 and shows how much less restraint the drafters had while drafting the UCITA in early 1995. It was during this time that UCC Article 2 was still undergoing revision. This article continues with the author's detailed examination of the underlying major structural and policy defects in UCITA that require the drafters' attention before it is made into law. The author defines the scope of UCITA as being too broad. Furthermore, the author deconstructs and criticizes various sections of UCITA.

The personal information included his social security number, home telephone number, and home address. Petitioner claimed invasion of privacy. The decision, from which the petitioner appeals, granted summary judgment in favor of the respondent. The issues presented in …

This article helps to clarify the reader's understanding of issues and concepts relating to UCITA in the midst of legislative drafting efforts to give "birth" to section 2B of the UCITA. Concepts such as the ability to "opt-in" or "out" of the Act, "manifestation of assent," electronic signatures, use of the electronic agent, "mass-market" are fully analyzed and discussed. This article first attempts to outline the drafting process followed by the UCITA drafting committee. Next, the author lays out the objectives of the drafters of the UCITA as it appears in the Prefatory Notes. The author further moves into the …

In this article, the author supports the enactment of UCITA. In Part II of this article, the author explains why UCITA "simply clarify and modernize" commercial law and should be chosen over Article 2 of UCC. In Part III of the article, the author proposes two amendments to UCITA: 1) Software vendors should be given a minimum standard to follow for its software. According to the author, this would bring more adhesion to consumer transactions. 2) UCITA should be governed by state deceptive trade practice acts. Finally, the author ends by saying that state legislatures would be unable to reach …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The right to privacy is one of the most fundamental rights recognized. References to privacy date back to ancient Greece and China. Rapid advances in information technology and high-speed data networks have had an enormous impact on privacy. Today, personal medical and financial information can easily be transmitted with and without the one knowing. Can privacy law keep up with these changes and challenges? Privacy advocates are concerned. Nearly every country in the world has some form of privacy provision in its constitution. However, the definition of privacy differs from context and environment. The authors chronicle the status of privacy …

The Role Of Patent Law In Poland's Transitioning Science And Technology Policy, And A Comparison With The Patent Laws Of The United States, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 381 (1999), Edward H. Sikorski
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Poland is at a critical point in determining whether it will provide the type of intellectual property protection afforded in other countries. Based on its current programs, Poland clearly recognizes that it must improve its infrastructure. It is imperative for Poland to institute and develop new science and technology policies. As a result, Poland must pay attention to issues like privatization and intellectual property because newly privatized companies will lean on patents and other rights as footholds against their competitors. Poland must also address issues concerning physical access and communications and electronic access to the country. Poland's overall science and …
Issued Patents And The Standard Of Proof: Evidence Clear And Convincing Or Merely Ponderous, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 557 (1999), David W. Okey
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Patent cases use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard of proof, unless the validity of a patent is in question, in which case the standard is "clear and convincing evidence." The comment examines the meaning of the standards in their application to United States patent practice. After giving examples with interference and infringement cases, the comment argues that the vast majority of cases are decided on evidence not presented to the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) during prosecution of the patent. The assumption that a patent is valid is based on the thorough examination it receives prior to its allowance …
Congress Must Learn To Surf The Internet If It Ever Wants To Catch The Next Wave Of Securities Fraud, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 589 (1999), Ted A. Smith
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Despite the popularity in the area of securities trading and all of the new challenges the Internet brings to the area of securities fraud, Congress has not chosen to react with new legislation. Instead, Congress has chosen to remedy the problems through the use of existing laws that were written over fifty years ago. This decision by Congress is at odds with other decisions it has made with respect to other areas of law that have been impacted by the Internet. Congress reacted to the effects of the Internet on gambling with proposed legislation aimed specifically at problems the Internet …

Computers And The Discovery Of Evidence - A New Dimension To Civil Procedure, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 411 (1999), Mark D. Robins
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Attorneys are largely unaware of the types of evidence available through computer related sources. Lawyers and courts face similar obstacles in exploring the electronic frontier. The legal community is confronting the dispute between a liberal policy of open access to relevant information and the burdens of computer-related discovery of sensitive, confidential and privileged material. Computers are used to generate, process and store vast amounts of useful information-related evidence. Computers also create discovery hazards when they store damaging information, trade secrets and other proprietary or confidential data. Another discovery problem arises because of the lack of uniformity of spoliation laws over …
How Can Whelan V. Jaslow And Lotus V. Borland Both Be Right? Reexamining The Economics Of Computer Software Reuse, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 511 (1999), Michael Risch
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The various circuit courts of appeal have been unable to agree on the appropriate method of determining when one computer program infringes the copyright in another computer program. This article traces the differences among the circuits, proposes a model to explain what courts are doing, asserts a set of factors that simplify the analysis of determining copyright infringement, and tests those factors against seemingly irreconcilable cases. Finally, the article applies the analysis to unresolved computer software issues of today in order to predict likely outcomes.

Cd-Rom Briefs: Must Today's High Tech Lawyers Wait Until The Playing Field Is Level?, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 615 (1999), Joanne M. Snow
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The CD-ROM has infiltrated every part of the legal profession, from research and learning aids to information storage. The newest technological advancement to enter the profession is the CD-ROM brief. In 1997, the first three CD-ROM briefs were filed with the federal judiciary, and the courts seem more than eager to continue their use. As with all new things, there are critics. Those opposed to CD-ROM briefs believe that they will adversely affect the standard of review, efficiency and finality of decisions in the trial and appellate courts and prejudice the less affluent. These concerns, however, are unfounded. The appellate …
