How Fine Art Fares Post Vara, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall
How Fine Art Fares Post Vara, Roberta Rosenthal Kwall
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Professor Kwall discusses the implications of the recently enacted Visual Artists Rights Act ("VARA"). VARA, the only U.S. statute addressing the issue of moral rights, attempts to protect an artist's personal rights in his own works. Kwall details the effectiveness of the Act in a society that has not traditionally recognized such rights. Professor Kwall examines the many flaws of VARA and supports further legislation to strengthen the protection of artists' moral rights.

The European "Community Trade Mark": Is It Worth The Bother?, Daniel G. Radler
The European "Community Trade Mark": Is It Worth The Bother?, Daniel G. Radler
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
In growing regional societies such as the European Union, there is a recognized need for standardization of trademark protection. Radler discusses the recent creation of the "Community Trade Mark" ("CTM") and analyzes the pros, the cons, and the alternatives to regional trademark protection within the EU. Concluding that the CTM is the most appropriate alternative, Radler suggests that the CTM provides uniformity, efficiency, and a means for further harmonization.
