Necessary Biosafety Precautions For Patented Gmos: Ramifications Of Inconsistent Parties Between The Cartagena Protocol And Trips Agreement, Lauren Clements
Necessary Biosafety Precautions For Patented Gmos: Ramifications Of Inconsistent Parties Between The Cartagena Protocol And Trips Agreement, Lauren Clements
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
Genetically Modified Organisms (“GMOs”) compose a class of potentially patentable biotechnology that are prominent in international markets. Developed countries like the United States, function as leading producers of these patented GMOs and therefore play a significant role in their development and transnational export. Minimum protections for these forms of biotechnology are outlined in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”), which permits the patenting of GMOs that ultimately enter the stream of international commerce. Notwithstanding the potential risks GMOs present to the environment, public health, and the economy, the TRIPS Agreement fails to address any form …

Nanosecond Policies: Comparing Us And Chinese Approaches To High-Frequency Trading Regulation, Bilal Laghari
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
High frequency trading has transformed global financial markets, introducing both efficiency gains and significant regulatory concerns. This Note analyzes the divergent approaches of the United States and China in regulating high frequency trading, focusing on how each system addresses issues of market manipulation, information asymmetry, and systemic risk. It contends that the United States’ reliance on outdated and indirect regulatory mechanisms, such as Regulation NMS, has failed to keep pace with technological advancements. In contrast, China’s more recent and targeted regulatory framework provides clearer guidance and stronger oversight of high frequency trading practices. This Note concludes that a hybrid approach, …
Green Technology And International Patents: Incentivizing Innovation Or Blocking Access?, Matteo Rizzi
Green Technology And International Patents: Incentivizing Innovation Or Blocking Access?, Matteo Rizzi
Brooklyn Journal of International Law
As the global climate crisis intensifies, the transition to clean energy technologies has become an urgent priority for the world's largest carbon dioxide emitters: China, the United States, and India. This Note examines how patent law can serve as a critical instrument in accelerating that transition. The patent system’s core quid pro quo grants inventors exclusive rights in exchange for public disclosure, creating powerful incentives for innovation. Yet the law’s failure to require active use of patented technologies has enabled a range of anticompetitive behaviors, including patent trolling, patent warehousing, and the accumulation of dormant patent portfolios, that allow proprietary …

Current regimes, including the Outer Space Treaty and the Liability Convention, establish broad principles of cooperation and liability but fail to meaningfully address the rapid growth of orbital debris driven by both state and commercial actors. Focusing on the United States and …

Accounting, Taxation, And Inflation, Rachid Belkahia, Hassan Oudad
Accounting, Taxation, And Inflation, Rachid Belkahia, Hassan Oudad
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
This article examines the relationship between accounting, taxation, and inflation. It argues that inflation weakens the ability of traditional accounting rules to represent the real economic and financial situation of firms. As balance sheets and profits become distorted, taxation may be imposed on nominal rather than real gains. The article therefore calls for solutions that account for the effects of inflation on corporate accounts and taxable income within the broader debate on fiscal reform.

The Problem Of Decision-Making In Energy Choices: The Case Of Developing Countries, Brahim Rachidi
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The paper argues that the coexistence of large oligopolistic units with a mass of small and medium firms raises specific issues for industrial policy, competition, and technological development. It calls for a differentiated approach to industrial concentration that takes account …

Technological Independence For Underdeveloped Countries, Suhail Al-Muati
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The article discusses the limits of imported technology, the role of national scientific and technical capacities, and the importance of linking technological choices to broader strategies of industrialization and economic sovereignty. It argues that technological independence is not isolation but a capacity to select and master technology in accordance with national needs.
