The Dead Poets Society: The Copyright Term And The Public Domain, Matthew Rimmer Jun 2003

The Dead Poets Society: The Copyright Term And The Public Domain, Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

In a victory for corporate control of cultural heritage, the Supreme Court of the United States has rejected a constitutional challenge to the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act 1998 (U.S.) by a majority of seven to two. This paper evaluates the litigation in terms of policy debate in a number of discourses - history, intellectual property law, constitutional law and freedom of speech, cultural heritage, economics and competition policy, and international trade. It argues that the extension of the copyright term will inhibit the dissemination of cultural works through the use of new technologies - such as Eric Eldred's …

A Non-Harmonized Perspective On Parallel Imports: The Protection Of Intellectual Property Rights And The Free Movement Of Goods In International Trade, Krithpaka Boonfueng Jan 2003

A Non-Harmonized Perspective On Parallel Imports: The Protection Of Intellectual Property Rights And The Free Movement Of Goods In International Trade, Krithpaka Boonfueng

SJD Dissertation Abstracts

This dissertation aims to define an appropriate international legal standard for the exhaustion doctrine as it pertains to parallel imports, being the importation of genuine goods but without authorization from intellectual property owners. The clarification of this issue is needed because developed and developing countries have different perspectives on the application of the exhaustion doctrine. Under the exhaustion doctrine, once an intellectual property owner deliberately releases or authorizes others to release goods into the stream of commerce, his exclusive right to further control the goods is no longer valid. However, there are three diverse aspects in the application of exhaustion …

Enforcement Of Wto Rulings: An Interest Group Analysis, Mark L. Movsesian

This retaliation can continue until the offending member implements the WTO's …
