UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

On July 24, 2001, the Supreme People's Court issued a judicial interpretation as a guideline for all Chinese courts in deciding cybersquatting cases. However, the interpretation followed closely to the U.S. Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. With inherent legal and judicial differences between the two countries, the authors analyze whether and to what extent China can transplant the American experience to construct Chinese effective legal mechanisms against cybersquatters. In so doing, authors first discuss the Lanham Act and using trademark infringement as a cause of action. Authors are quick to point out that cybersquatters do not use registered trademarks to conduct …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

He argues that the policy is essentially the result of socialist assumptions of the state's dominant role in the country's economic growth. Under its 1997 decree regarding Internet usage, the General Director of the General Postal Bureau has the exclusive authority and primary …

Japan's Communications Interception Act: Unconstitutional Invasion Of Privacy Or Necessary Tool?, Lillian R. Gilmer

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In August 1999, Japan became the last of the G8 nations to pass legislation to allow law enforcement to wiretap communications. For some, passage of the law was long overdue; for others, its passage marked the beginning of an impermissible government encroachment on civil rights. This Note examines Japan's Communications Interception Act, the forces in Japanese society creating the need for the law, and the reasons why the law is being challenged.

Ugo Mattei

European private law is in the making. Many scholarly and official projects tackle the many issues that unfold in the path of a more uniform European legal culture. None of such projects has been as thorough and patient in trying to develop a general knowledge on how things are in the early-21st century in the landscape of European private law as the "Common Core of European Private Law Project", launched in Trento, Italy in 1993 with the direct involvement of the Late Professor R.B. Schlesinger. Within the Common Core Project, over 200 professionals apply a painstaking comparative analysis of European …
