Commercialism And The Downfall Of Internet Self Governance: An Application Of Antitrust Law, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 125 (1997), David A. Gottardo

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article discusses the proliferation of on-line commercialism on the Internet and the various problems related to the increase of commercialism. Spamming, which is defined as the distribution of large amounts of unsolicited information, has been the major form of commercialism and arguably the most problematic. The article emphasizes the attempts to reduce the problem of on-line commercialism through preventative measures, such as self-governance on the Internet. While the author states that self-governance may be a solution to the problem of excessive commercialism, he also states that self-governance may give rise to problems, such as intervention by the federal government …

Right On The Mark: Defining The Nexus Between Trademarks And Internet Domain Names, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 277 (1997), G. Peter Albert Jr.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The Internet is a rapidly expanding global network. The Internet provides a virtual marketplace in which many small companies are given the opportunity to have increased leverage to compete with their larger corporate counterparts. Businesses are establishing their presence on the Internet through the creation of a domain name. The domain name is an alphanumeric address that identifies a specific location on the Internet. Each domain name reflects a distinct address that distinguishes it from any other. Similarly, qualification of a word or symbol as a trademark must include the following three elements: (1) "function" to identify and distinguish the …

Private Financing Of Criminal Prosectuions And The Differing Protections Of Liberty And Equality In The Criminal Justice System, Joseph E. Kennedy

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Government prosecutors have begun accepting, and in some cases soliciting, voluntary contributions from the private sector in order to finance certain types of criminal prosecutions. Such private financing introduces a new tension between society's interest in punishing the guilty and society's interest in equal treatment by government. Private financing of criminal prosecution also raises interesting questions as to whether institutions, as opposed to individuals, can be biased by money.

This Article concludes that private financing in any of its likely forms threatens important equality interests. Part I argues that conflict-of-interest rules provide the only protection for important equality interests implicated …

Patent Opinions, Privileges, And The Advice Of Counsel Defense To Claims Of Willfull Patent Infringement: Litigation Counsel Caught In The Crossfire, Michael M. Markman

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The interests advanced by the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrines are a subject of frequent debate. Scholars and practitioners agree, however, that both forms of discovery protection must be waived in certain circumstances. One such situation is where a client asserts the "advice of counsel" as a defense. In the arena of patent litigation, the waiver of discovery protection arises where the alleged patent infringer asserts the advice of counsel defense to claims of willful patent infringement.

The scope of waiver of discovery protections upon asserting the advice of counsel defense to claims of willful patent infringement is expanding …

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article compares the practice of law in 1997 to the practice of law of the past.

Every Category Of Provider: Hindsight Is 20/20 Vision, Melanie K. Curtice

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment contends that if the "Every Category of Provider" statute had been properly limited, as intended and not as interpreted, it would not have met its ultimate fate of ERISA preemption. In order to show how this public interest legislation could remain in effect and provide at least minimal statutory support for consumer choice, an overview of Washington state health care reform, ERISA preemption, and the federal district court decision preempting the statute is necessary. In Part I, this Comment provides a brief history of the "Every Category of Provider" statute and the Bulletin. Part II contains a summary …
