Patchwork Protection: Copyright Law And Quilted Art, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 855 (2010), Maureen Collins
Patchwork Protection: Copyright Law And Quilted Art, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 855 (2010), Maureen Collins
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Historically, quilts have been denied the same copyright protection available to any other expression in a fixed medium. When quilts have been considered protectable, the protectable elements in a pattern have been limited, or the application of the substantial similarity test has varied widely. One possible explanation for this unequal treatment is that quilting is viewed as ‘women’s work.’ Another is that quilts are primarily functional. However, quilts have evolved over time and may now be expensive collectible pieces of art; art that deserves copyright protection. This article traces the history of quilt making, addresses the varying standards of protection …
Reforming The Uspto To Comply With Mpep § 707.07(J) To Give A Fair Shake To Pro Se Inventor-Applicants, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 880 (2010), Paul M. Swamidass
Reforming The Uspto To Comply With Mpep § 707.07(J) To Give A Fair Shake To Pro Se Inventor-Applicants, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 880 (2010), Paul M. Swamidass
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
If pro se patent applicants are successful with their applications, they are likely to be inspired to become serial inventors and patentees. In contrast, a pro-se patent applicant, who is turned off by a non- transparent and arbitrary examination process at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), may curtail his/her instinct to invent and patent. The USPTO does not collect data or publish statistical analyses of pro se patent applications. Therefore, the challenges faced by the pro se inventor- applicants are hidden. The author subjected himself to the PTO’s patent examination process as a pro se applicant for …
The Effects Of "Blue Magic": A Call To Punish Criminal Organizations That Benefit From The Use Of Trademarks, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 912 (2010), Thomas J. Kelley
The Effects Of "Blue Magic": A Call To Punish Criminal Organizations That Benefit From The Use Of Trademarks, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 912 (2010), Thomas J. Kelley
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Throughout history, criminal organizations have produced, packaged, transported, marketed, and sold illegal products. These organizations and their individual members can be punished for all of the steps in this process, except one: marketing. These groups routinely market their products with trademarks affixed to the illegal products they sell, and benefit from these trademarks the same way a company like the Coca-Cola Company benefits from its trademarks. Criminal organizations should not be free to use trademarks without fear of any additional punishment for doing so. Congress and the United States Sentencing Commission should look at this issue to determine an appropriate …
Gene Patenting Debate: The Meaning Of Myriad, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 953 (2010), Miri Yoon
Gene Patenting Debate: The Meaning Of Myriad, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 953 (2010), Miri Yoon
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York recently held in Association for Molecular Pathology v. United States Patent & Trademark Office that Myriad’s patent claims directed to isolated DNA molecules encoding human breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1/2 are not patent-eligible subject matter. Even though the court construed that the patent claims are directed to tangible chemical compounds, the overriding importance of unclaimed DNA sequence information renders claimed molecules as unpatentable products of nature. While the immediate impact of this decision is limited to Myriad’s patents-in-suit, this decision reflects the concern about the adverse effects of …
Statistical Analysis Of Federal District Court Cases Seeking Longer Patent Term Adjustments In The Wake Of Wyeth V. Kappos, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 1 (2010), Verne A. Luckow, Steven C. Balsarotti
Statistical Analysis Of Federal District Court Cases Seeking Longer Patent Term Adjustments In The Wake Of Wyeth V. Kappos, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 1 (2010), Verne A. Luckow, Steven C. Balsarotti
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Over 175 Federal District Court cases filed from September 2008 through July 2010 were analyzed to determine common features noted by applicants seeking longer patent term adjustments (“PTAs”) in view of a Federal District Court ruling, later affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Wyeth v. Kappos, which held that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) misinterpreted a statute relating to the calculation of PTAs involving overlapping periods of delay attributable to the PTO or to the applicant. Applicant and PTO errors in calculating PTAs were common, often relating to counting errors due …
American Exceptionalism, The French Exception, Intellectual Property Law, And Peer-To-Peer File Sharing On The Internet, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 95 (2010), Lyombe Eko
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
A fundamental problem confronting policy makers is how to apply intellectual property rules and regulations developed for tangible intellectual property assets in real space to intangible,dematerialized intellectual property in cyberspace. The United States and France are self-described exceptionalist countries. American exceptionalism refers to the historical tendency of the United States to emphasize its unique status as the beacon of liberty, while l’exception française (the French exception) refers to the French ideological posture that emphasizes the specificity and superiority of French culture. American exceptionalism and l’exception française are functionally equivalent theoretical constructs that describe and explain how the United States and …

The Wisdom Of Legislating For Anticipated Technological Advancements, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 154 (2010), Yvette Joy Liebesman
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The past four decades have been witness to the realization of ideas which, when first contemplated,seemed to resemble the prose of science fiction writers. Some seemingly far-fetched notions, such as robot pets, anti-sleeping pills, and ugly unisex jumpsuits, are now readily available. However, there are currently no colonies on the moon, and we are all still waiting to order our personal jetpacks from Amazon.com. Some are likely to remain in the realm of science fiction and will only be realized with the help of movie and television special effects artists. Yet through these entertaining glimpses into a potential future, we …
The New Ontologies: The Effect Of Copyright Protection On Public Scientific Data Sharing Using Semantic Web Ontologies, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 181 (2010), Andrew Clearwater
The New Ontologies: The Effect Of Copyright Protection On Public Scientific Data Sharing Using Semantic Web Ontologies, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 181 (2010), Andrew Clearwater
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The semantic web is going to become an important tool for scientists who need to accurately share data given context through structured relationships. The structure that defines contextual relationships on the semantic web is known as an ontology; which is a hierarchical organization of a knowledge domain that contains entities and their relations. This paper seeks to answer whether semantic web ontologies are protectable by copyright, and regardless of the outcome, what the best practices are for the scientific community. The best practices for the scientific community should include the adoption of a machine readable ontology license which disclaims copyright …
Consumer-Generated Media And Advertising—Are They One And The Same? An Analysis Of The Amended Ftc Guides Concerning The Use Of Endorsements And Testimonials In Advertising, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 206 (2010), Jessica Godell
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The advertising industry as well as the endorsements and testimonials that support advertising have been expanding into new mediums for years. As a result of this continual growth, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) recently amended the FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (“The Guides”). The FTC, which sought to apply The Guides to consumer-generated media for the very first time, had not amended The Guides prior to these revisions in three decades. As a result, the changes garnered a number of mixed reactions from the media, consumers and the advertising and legal industries. Under the …
Twitter: New Challenges To Copyright Law In The Internet Age, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 231 (2010), Rebecca Haas
Twitter: New Challenges To Copyright Law In The Internet Age, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 231 (2010), Rebecca Haas
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Twitter is part of the new wave of internet communication. It is unique because messages sent via Twitter are limited to 140 characters. Many of these messages are about mundane details of daily life, but some are creative, even literary, and may qualify for copyright protection. The problem,then, is not necessarily whether a Tweet can qualify for copyright protection, but how that protection is enforced. Current infringement policies and procedures are not designed to effectively handle copyright infringement on the internet. Internet infringement is widespread and not easy to monitor or regulate, therefore there is a need for a regulatory …
A Training Ground For Contemporary Art: Massachusetts Museum Of Contemporary Art V. Biichel's Overly Broad Exclusion Of Artistic Collaborations, Sarah Louise Rector
A Training Ground For Contemporary Art: Massachusetts Museum Of Contemporary Art V. Biichel's Overly Broad Exclusion Of Artistic Collaborations, Sarah Louise Rector
University of Colorado Law Review
In 2007, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art sought a declaratory judgment permitting it to display an unfinished installation artwork by artist Christoph Buchel without Buchel's permission. Bchel attempted to stop the display by arguing that it violated his moral rights under the Visual Artists Rights Act ("VARA'). The United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled in favor of the museum, holding in part that the "collaborative" nature of the installation's construction precluded VARA protection. The court analogized the artwork to a motion picture, which the Act's legislative history characterized as the type of collaborative effort VARA …
