Patent Exhaustion, Implied Licenses, And Have-Made Rights: Gold Mines Or Mine Fields?, Amber L. Hatfield

Computer Law Review and Technology Journal

Hard-fought patent battles may rage for years, only to settle quietly with a mutual exchange of patent rights. A notable example is the settlement between cellular industry rivals Ericsson and Qualcomm, who reached an agreement in March 1999 settling more than two years of intense litigation. That agreement marked a significant reversal in the parties' litigious posture, calling for the exchange of patent licenses and further paving the way for future collaborative efforts. But with relatively few reported decisions on the possible implications of third-party immunities, many modem agreements often fail to effectively anticipate and address them.

Direct Public Offerings On The Internet: A Viable Means Of Obtaining Capital?, Jack A. Rosenbloom

Computer Law Review and Technology Journal

The high cost of capital has stymied many businesses in their attempts to survive and prosper. But the emergence of the Internet and the explosive growth of e-commerce have created new opportunities for some businesses to explore different sources of additional capital. Many small-to-medium-sized companies have not yet fully appreciated the potential of this rapidly growing global network.

In 1998, 33% of American households were online - a percentage that by 2003, should increase to 51%.] More important, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) estimated that, at the end of 1999, as many as ten million investors had bypassed brokers …

Willard Hurst And The Administrative State: From Williams To Wisconsin, Daniel R. Ernst

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This article follows Willard Hurst from his undergraduate days at Williams College through the start of his teaching career at Wisconsin in the fall of 1937. During these years Hurst acquired an abiding interest in the rise of the administrative state as well as some of the insights he would use to account for it in his mature work. For the most part, the article proceeds chronologically through four episodes in Hurst's training: (1) his year-long study of Charles and Mary Beard's "Rise of American Civilization" undertaken as an undergraduate at Williams College; (2) his three years as a student …

The Millenium Survey, John B. Davis

Economics Faculty Research and Publications

Pryor’s Millennium Survey results need to be understood in the context of economists’ different economic models appropriate to different institutional frameworks. These variable/institutional framework subsystems in turn may be distinguished according to whether the variables involved exhibit considerable deviation from trend and whether significant institutional change is anticipated. One such subsystem, involving globalization, financial volatility, and income inequality, seems to be relatively independent of a subsystem made up of the domestic economy as a whole.

The Perils Of Globalization And The World Trading System, John H. Jackson

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The post-World War II world trading system is now more than fifty years old, and not surprisingly, it has evolved through a number of different stages of development and survived a series of perils. Recently, however, the perils seem even greater than before. The failure of the Seattle Ministerial Meeting of November-December 1999 focused the attention of the international community, almost like a prospective execution focusing the attention of the targeted person. A number of different factors have contributed to this perilous situation, and in this brief Essay, I want to look particularly at some of the institutional characteristics of …

The Difference In Women’S Hedonic Lives: A Phenomenological Critique Of Feminist Legal Theory, Robin West

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Part One of this article provides a phenomenological and hedonic critique of the conception of the human - and thus the female - that underlies liberal legal feminism. Part Two presents a phenomenological critique of the conception of the human - and thus the female - which underlies radical feminist legal criticism. Again, I will argue that in both cases the theory does not pay enough attention to feminism: liberal feminist legal theory owes more to liberalism than to feminism and radical feminist legal theory owes more to radicalism than it does to feminism. Both models accept a depiction of …

Taking Stock: New Views Of American Labor Law Between The World Wars, Daniel R. Ernst

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

This symposium originated in a session at the annual meeting of the American Society for Legal History held in Seattle in October 1998. Entitled "Labor, Law, and the State in the Interwar Period," the panel provided four different views of a decisive period in the development of labor law in the United States. In the 1980s the panel's chair, Katherine Van Wezel Stone, and commentator, Christopher L. Tomlins, published works that helped spark a modern revival in the historical study of U.S. labor law. The authors of the four papers presented at the session were more recent entrants into the …

Mothers And Fathers Of Invention: The Intellectual Founders Of Adr, Carrie Menkel-Meadow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

When we think of the "founding" of the ADR movement (particularly, but not exclusively, in law), from when do we date it? Whom do we think of as our leaders? Many of us think of Frank Sander and the "multi-door courthouse" suggested by his famous paper, delivered at the Pound Conference on the Causes of Popular Dissatisfaction with the Administration of Justice in 1976. For others, the publication of Roger Fisher and William Ury's "Getting to Yes," signaled an interest in a changed paradigm for engaging in legal negotiations. Some may associate ADR's nascency with early practical efforts to institutionalize …

Dc Consortium Of Legal Service Providers: Legal Services 2000 Symposium, Peter B. Edelman

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

My main point is to urge you to the see what is possible in the way of what I might call a public health approach to lawyering for the poor. In a public health approach you find something that has polluted the river and you clean it up at its source instead of just treating its victims one by one. In legal and societal terms, when we are discussing why so many children are growing up poor and dying a slow death of disappointment, the challenge is to think about it in a public health way. Of course we cannot …

Asset Protection Trusts: Trust Law's Race To The Bottom?, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article examines the evolution and implications of asset protection trusts, highlighting how their use has expanded beyond high-net-worth individuals to professionals like physicians. It critiques the race among jurisdictions, particularly smaller states such as Alaska and Delaware, to create favorable trust laws, arguing that this competition may lead to inefficient and unfair legal frameworks. The analysis emphasizes the tension between creditor rights and debtor protections, suggesting that without federal intervention or multistate coordination, this race could undermine the balance between these interests, potentially harming the broader economy.

The Interaction Of The Dipole Moment Of The Water Molecule With The Interface States Of The Cuprous Oxide/Cupric Oxide Junction, Necmi̇ Seri̇n, Tülay Seri̇n, Basri̇ Ünal

Turkish Journal of Physics

An Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu sandwich structure has been obtained by growing successive Cu$_{2}$O and CuO layers on a Cu sheet. A gold metal contact was formed CuO side at pressure of $1\times10^{-6}$ Torr. Current-voltage characteristics and capacitance of the system were seen to change over a great extent due to the presence of humidity. The effect of the humidity on Au/CuO/Cu$_{2}$O/Cu is explored through the effect of water's dipole moment.

Quark And Lepton Masses From Fundamental Algebra With Exact Color Symmetry, Engi̇n Arik, Meti̇n Arik, Ufuk Kayserilioglu, M. Burcin Unlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

We propose a deformed algebra of creation and annihilation operators relating quark-lepton states. A diagonal mass operator with three parameters together with the three deformation parameters of the algebra gives a reasonable fit to observed quark-lepton masses.

Skyrmions From Harmonic Maps, Wojtek Zakrzewski

Turkish Journal of Physics

We describe some relations between solitonic solutions of various models in different dimensions. We present some examples and then concentrate on some of our recent work (performed in collaboration with Ioannidou and Piette) \cite{IPZ} \cite{us2} which shows how some harmonic maps from $S^2$ to $CP^{N-1}$ can be used to find nontrivial spherically symmetric static solutions of the $SU(N)$ Skyrme model in 3 dimensions and to generate some of its low energy field configurations.
