Chasing Results From The Chasing Arrows: Strategies For The United States To Stop Wasting Time And Resources When It Comes To Recycling, 52 Uic J. Marshall L. Rev. 147 (2018), Christina Everling
UIC Law Review
The United States is a leader when it comes to creating waste, but not when it comes to disposing of that waste in environmentally conscious ways, such as through recycling. While other countries boast recycling rates over 60 percent, the United States’ recycling rate is an unimpressive 25 percent. Even amidst a “zero waste” movement, there are few national efforts to increase our recycling rate. Some state and local communities have picked up the slack, implementing a variety of strategies to boost their recycling output and reduce waste. These initiatives, such as automatic curbside recycling, landfill bans, mandatory recycling, container …

The Insufficiency Of The Musical Instrument Passport Program Under Cites And The Lacey Act: The Need For A Centralized Wood Title Certification System For Manufactured Wood Products And Wooden Musical Instruments, 48 J. Marshall L. Rev. 495 (2015), Joseph Furlett
UIC Law Review
This comment begins with overviews of the Lacey Act, the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA). The purpose of this background information is to provide context for the recent creation of a “passport” system for musical instruments to protect them from confiscation based on violations of CITES and the Lacey Act. This comment will then analyze the inherent flaws in the current passport system and describe the difficulties facing corporations and individual consumers as they try to navigate current laws that affect musical instruments. This …

Toward A Patent Exhaustion Regime For Sustainable Development, 32 Berkeley J. Int'l Law. 330 (2014), Benjamin Liu
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
This Article argues that the current exhaustion doctrine, when applied to the refurbishing industry, fails to balance its mandate of promoting technological progress with the broader program of sustainable development and is therefore unsuitable for countries on the modernization path. First, what constitutes an infringing “making” remains underdetermined. Second, the evidentiary hurdle for proving legal refurbishment is too onerous for the low margin and under-resourced refurbishing industry. Finally, the all-or-nothing approach to judging infringement fails to account for the nuanced cost-benefit nexus that exists between patentees, refurbishers, and society at large and discourages private ordering. To recalibrate the balance between …

Remade In China: What Does Recycling Tell Us About The Chinese Patent System?, 82 Umkc L. Rev. 887 (2014), Benjamin Liu
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
What can we expect of China's patent law during the tenure of President Xi Jinping? This article proffers a partial answer to this broad question through the close reading of patent allegations against Chinese refurbishers and recyclers. Although the doctrinal issues presented are specific, these disputes occupy a policy space where competing goals of development tear a slit in the glossy exterior of the “Chinese Dream” meme that comes to represent Xi's administration, a slit through which we may gain some insight into the direction of IP development in China.
